What's an EASY hack/fix that REALLY improved your relationship with your Bronco?

[gaaangs]

I was upset with my babe because the stock sub in the back would rattle a shit ton when I was banging the beats.

Then I read something on here awhile back that said to stuff a rag between the back enclosure and the bronco frame itself. Problem solved. Now we are cool.

What's an easy hack that took your relationship to the next level. Thinking about kids now.

Seat raisers. Before I could barely do an hour of driving without a stretch. After buying the Desert Does It spacers I did a 8+ hour stretch with no stops.

Silicone grease on the rear window seal (where it meets the tailgate) will make it silent when going over bumps. I waited far too long to do this assuming it was the rear body panels or storage area.

37s. 37s solve everything. Allegedly.

But on a serious note, switching to a soft top. Less creaky and easier to enjoy the open air at a whim.

Ohhh these look interesting. Do they really help?

Silicone grease? Can I just lube her up with Vasaline? Would that work?

Getting rid of the silly Ronald McDonald orange grab handles and a/c vent handles that your forced to deal with on a Badlands.

I'd stay away from petroleum based products as they have a tendency to degrade rubber over time.

Getting the update done on the windows so they drop down 1/2 an inch when I hit the unlock button on the fob. No more window catch!!!

I'll 2nd this one. Just like my JL I felt like I was tilting forward in the seat with no leg support. I had done the seat jackers on the Jeep and ordered the Bronco ones the day after I bought it. Problem solved and it's something that makes it a whole lot more enjoyable to drive every time so fits the question.

I got these little square microfiber clothes that are, on one side, the length of the visor. So I put one on the visor, between it and the roof, and leave it there. Then, when the sun is beating straight through the windshield, I fold it down. If it's from the left, I pull it down and hang it down from the roll bar. Really helps, especially when the sun is right where the street lights are.

Tacoma guys swear by them, and I will too. Made the seats perfect for me.

Turning off the seatbelt chime in Forscan. I wear the seatbelt religiously when highway driving. But I don't want that thing nagging me when I'm just moving the Bronco around the yard, moving up in line on the trail, or other times *I* decide it's not necessary. Another Forscan mod that improved quality of life is lowering the tire air pressure warning threshold. Especially annoying if you air down for off-roading.

Night and day shift difference, plus no more auto start stop nonsense.
