CravenSpeed “The Stubby” not sure how it gets such good reviews on Amazon

That’s because they don’t listen to the radio and it’s just for looks. I personally went with their “Untenna” fully aware that shit has zero reception.

If people aren't interested in any radio reception and just want to delete the antenna, why don't they just use the antenna plug that comes with the Bronco during shipment?

I went with this 13" antenna because I didn't like the huge stock one, but still wanted some FM reception.

Pretty happy with it so far. It still picks up my stations for me when I tested it in a couple different places, but I rarely listen to FM so haven't really tested it in areas with poor reception.

Dealership must’ve kept mine. I would use it - I never listen to radio.

Probably chucked it in the trash during PDI. It is just a 1/2" threaded plug to cap the hole. Serves a purpose in shipping.

Wish it was just the one mod...

Morimoto XRGB Headlights ($1250) - While brighter than stock, the durability is lacking. One has a broken adjuster and shakes while driving. Also, a portion of the Red RGB ring went out and causes the color to be different in that spot. I should've gone with the AlphaRex ones instead.

Mabbet 4pack interior LED lights ($100)- they are ok (when they worked). They don't dim on and off like the OEMs do. I had to disconnect them because they started coming on randomly while driving. The only way to turn them off was to stop, turn off the car, open door, close door, lock and wait for them to go off. I will try the IAG ones that do dim like the OEMs do.

Chiniseum OEM style bull bar ($100) - it arrived crooked and starting rusting almost immediately. Spend the extra $$$ for the OEM one.

Simple. Which mod(s) ,accessory, option do you ‘regret’ and why- cost, look, performance etc…?
A ‘Like’ for a post means you agree- it shouldn’t have been done. Post your worst or your cautionary tales.

Wow. That picture would ruin a wet dream at a hundred yards. Someone has more money than brains, (or taste). That thing should offer enough regret for all of us. Let me guess, whoever own this lives in Miami or LA?

Rough Country tailgate table.
It's not very good, and every other one I've seen is better. Get one of them instead.

If for nothing else, the full size antenna is the perfect length for testing low clearance entering a home or parking garage!

RC high mount and badlands winch. I don’t trust it’ll get me out without damaging the frame horn mounts so I removed it. Now I have ~$600-700 of hardware taking up space in my garage.

Have you thought about getting frame horn reinforcements?

I bought the shorter antenna and went back to the original as a clearance guide within one week.

Yeah and I might go that route. Some of the beefier options are a few hundred bucks. Reason for my regret is I kinda want to start over and consider a smaller winch and different bumper or hidden mount option, but I have the 2.7 which makes that a little tougher as well

 

[Dantastic]

I’ve actually done that!

Me too but now that I have a light bar on switch one, I accidentally flash said driver as well.

Any modification that does not improve the off-road capability or performance of the vehicle is just a waste of money. Lockers and suspension upgrades yes, paint protection film and multicolor LED interior lights and vent clips, no.

I’m sure they toss that during PDI and most customers never even see it.
