What do you guys do with the OEM parts after you upgrade? I.E. Wheels and tires, exhaust, bumpers. etc..

sell them on here? sell them to garages? or just keep them stored up?

I sold all my oem parts on this forum..

I'd keep them so you can put everything back to stock when you sell.

I still have all of mine. Been debating on selling them but I feel like I may need them if I ever decide to sell.

99% of my OEM stuff was sold on this forum. Sell the old to fund the new I say.

Put the tires on my daughter’s 4Runner, sold the wheels here, sold tail lights here, recycled/trashed the bumpers and exhaust.
Edit: I put my rear seats up in the attic, but I’d sell them if I thought I could make a buck. MGV Badlands 2-door.

Most of mine piled up in the dead of our cold assed, obscenely long winter. I’ll probably sell them soon.

I keep them stored (ie modular bumper) for when selling or just in case..

I have made a few people's day.

When I replaced my stock "rock sliders", I flagged down a person in my neighborhood who had a base Bronco and asked if they wanted them for free. They were ecstatic.

When I replaced my modular steel front bumper I posted here if anyone wanted it for free. I got a response right away. I made his day. He and his son bought a Base and were slowly upgrading it together on a tight budget.

If I am replacing something, I am not going to use it anymore. I replaced it for a reason. Why not make someone else's day? Just my 2 cents.

Most are in the rafters/attic of my garage for the day I want to sell it/trade it and some mods will carry over to my new one. Also the garbage can

I've always kept all my OEM parts on all my vehicles, reasoning that I could put it back to stock when selling, possibly use the upgrades on my new ride. Not once have I ever actually taken the time to do this. There is either another option I want at that point, or its just not worth the time/effort, and I end up just trashing the OEM parts years later.

I think I need to reevaluate my strategy...

I always say I'll keep it for this or for that. I'll sell it. I'll put it back to stock. All of is a lie. They end up in a box in my storage or my garage. I still have 2012 GT500 parts to sell. Some are brand new.

For the Bronco, most of it went. I have an Bronco OEM air box and charge pipe if someone wants it. I also have a 2019 8 Ford Sync screen and front plate for a F150

Different vehicle but I'll do same for Bronco. Kept all my old parts of my Trans Am when I was younger. After totaling it(don't drive with bald drag radicals in rain) I replaced all the parts back to OEM. Insurance gave me 50% of what I paid for the mods with receipts then I resold the parts.

Hahaha yeah sounds like a hassle to return it to stock. I can see selling some stuff others seem like theyll just get tossed

100% haha it’s kind of like boxing up leftovers that you know you’re just going to throw away moldy in 2 weeks.. for some reason you just do it
