No, this is the best mod for your Bronco.The best mod is a nice garage to fit your Bronco and work on it.
personally, I'd start with a new full set of belly skid plates (factory skids suck) , basic recover gear, an air compressor (either portable or on board), and tires (if you have the shitty good year tires). if you have any money left after that go nutsI've always been a car guy, and know which mods are useful and which are more bling that substance. The Badlands is my first truck, I'm thinking about fun 4x4 stuff for the first time, and I'm new to this whole aspect of the automotive hobby. I'm from IL, and the Great Lakes aren't know for rugged peaks and great changes in elevation, so any serious mods would see use in a 4x4 park or on a road trip.
I have had this thing for less than 3 weeks and my head is already spinning with all the parts that are available. I got the Badlands since I wanted something very capable from the factory, and am trying to take a less is more approach since I've dumped a lot of money on other cars in the past. I've been putting together a realistic list of things to do, but I've found myself going down the rabbit-hole of "Hmm, I bet that could be useful, eventually..."
Like, do I really need a winch? Do I waste my time chasing down the extended breather vents from the Everglades? A roof rack sounds like something I'd need, but if I bought a larger vehicle with a removable roof doesn't that defeat the purpose? Basically, I'm trying to fill in the gaps to cover what wasn't from the factory, and I don't want to just buy a bunch of crap I'm not sure I'd ever use. A month ago I'd never looked at a recovery board but spent 15 minutes on them last night, and didn't buy any because I realized they'd look great taking up cargo space.
And revoke his marketing degree. This type of stuff makes me not want to support their vendors and sponsors.It's bad enough that the moderators change thread titles but they could at least not fill them with grammatical errors.
The 6G Bronco is still new...take your time, and read the reviews on new products, if you can find any.I've always been a car guy, and know which mods are useful and which are more bling that substance.

You Geaux, Boudreaux!!!And that's it. Done. finished. No more. I have my capable daily driver.
nobody needs a winch becasue everyone that never uses theirs has one, so if you are stuck you can get some amature with a winch to rip your bumper off easily!I'm from SE WI, and I can tell you that a winch IS a worthwhile investment. That and a good solid towstrap/tree hugger and maybe some snatch blocks. Forget the recovery boards...the mud gets deep in this part of the country, and you will likely just bury both your truck and your recovery boards. I generally take some flack from folks in the "golden west" for this opinion, but every winch I have ever bought is the best 4x4 dollars I have ever spent...even if only used once! Saves one minor stuck from turning into a day ruining debacle!
EDIT: For the record the most stuck I ever was was in Marseilles IL!
No, we're just older and colder. I don't take any BS.Awww heck, I’m a REAL LIVE geezer!! LOL!
