There are so many great accessories and modifications already available for the Bronco, and I've definitely spent a significant amount of money on some of those items, but there are still a few things I'd really like to buy IF someone made then.

I curious to know what other accessories people want/need?

My two items are:

1. Door reinstall device: I already have a device for helping me to remove/replace the top, but wish someone made a device that assisted with reinstalling the doors (reinstalling them wasn't impossible, but I'd sure like something that could maybe hold the door up for me, maybe adjust height with foot pedal, and I could just wheel it into position or something simpler so I don't worry about dropping it). Sort of like a TopLiftPro for doors...

2. Canvas doors: I would really like to have simple/light-weight canvas doors that I could quickly throw on in case of rain or whatever (have seen these for Jeeps https://www.bestop.com/products/ful...-factory-door-surrounds-door-strikers-4-door/ but nothing yet for Bronco)


What else would you like to see/encourage some innovative company to make and sell??

I took my Bronco through some small muddy puddles and the splash killed my alternator. Now I’m weary of taking it to go play in the mud.
I’d like to see some type of functional shield that will prevent this from happening.

Wish someone would develop some simple plastic rain gutters that bolt into the roof and direct water away from passenger/driver windows.

I'm one of those weird people that likes to roll the window down when there is a light rain. But the way the drainage works on the hard top, that water gets dumped on the inside of the Bronco.

And even if you ignore my weird rain-loving behavior... would also be helpful for drive-throughs/ATMs/etc.

2.7 or 2.3?

Done a fair amount of splashing with my Bronco and haven't had an issue yet. Although I know the alternator on the 2.3L is mounted much higher than it is on the 2.7L. (Makes me wonder if that's a big reason why Ford used the 2.3L for the Everglades trim.)

I'll second this! Every morning when I get in to drive to work I roll the windows down and in pours all the water from the morning dew.

Not a big deal, but on my jeep there were very cheap aftermarket options to prevent this.

I think there is. I found a few threads on it in the past... ford offers some sort of alternator splash plate. I'm not in a position I can search for it quick but I think there are a few threads on it.

Diff. drop, surprised one doesn’t exist that isn’t part of a multi component kit.

Also I really want an hood that deletes the trail sights. No seams from a separate trail sight delete. It would look super clean.

Bolt on metal fenders similar to the Heritage/Everglades versions.

These are a great foundation for your first request. An addition to support the door would be relatively simple to make.

Although they are not bolt on, these may work for you...

Regular old school bikini top
2 door soft top that folds completely down
Door inserts similar to the eb ones
Solid axle swap w/ a real steering box and doesn’t have a huge lift
Cantilevered rear suspension to get rid of the shocks hanging way down.
larger 2 door gas tank or auxiliary tank.

I’m sure I could go on for hours.

Wish there was a Bimini top that was tight when installed, had access holes/zippers to take off hard top, had NO Velcro that I have to put on my roll bars, and no gap near the windshield. I feel there are none that tick all those boxes.

And a larger fuel tank.

Thank you so much for posting this, had no idea it existed. For $45 its worth a shot!
Just be super careful lining up the seams or your windows will not close.
