Lol I have these

Did they fit? The ones I received had some overlap otherwise I would have used them at least temporarily as we had an off road event set up. I didn't want another bronco label but thats just first world problems.

Specifically, this style...

They fit fine, no real overlap though. They are nice looking stickers. Not for paint protection.

+1 … I bought one thinking hey that’s cool and lost all reception. Might as well go without one completely

I had to buy a shorter one my Bronco barely fits in the garage. I was going to rip it off otherwise. I went with a 14 inch one and still get my favorite station.

So, the one I really wanted to like, but have realized was kinda a dumb purchase was the limb risers. I have used them twice, and they more or less deposit twigs and leaves in the front seat. The latch pin broke the second time and the cable ended up flopping all over the front fender and door. Didn't scratch it bad, but probably has caused more scratches than it has prevented. The second would be my pedal commander...to me it's complete snake oil...JMO. I agree w/everyone that says the "angry eyes" stuff is horrible too!

We are kindred spirits. I like the BL Rings. Think that’ll be next.

I've been saying this since it became popular on the S550 Mustang forums.. It's snake oil junk.
Wanna make more power? Get it tuned.

What do I have to break to upgrade to portals?

I know it's an "apples/oranges" comparison but, my current Harley is the 1st bike I ever had w/throttle by wire, and I found it was a little more difficult to shift quickly than my old cable controlled one. I bought a tuner to change the throttle mapping, and that solved it...wasn't so much more aggressive rolling on the throttle, as quicker off. I had hoped the pedal commander would do the same for my Bronco (it's an MT), but it doesn't. It just makes the gas pedal "touchier". Doesn't have nearly the same effect. I wasn't looking for increased HP, just tighter control...o well, had to try!

Like the early EEC days. Adjust the TPS to as close to 1V as possible and check the timing with a timing light and adjust. It would really "wake" it up. Great throttle response. I have looked at those "pedal commander" things and I compare them to what I had to do then. These days of electronic everything kinda suck at times. Doesn't give you more power, just changes the curve, I always was under the impression that is what "sport" (or Baja in the case of a WT Bronc) was for.

I was super pumped when I found out the Bronc was a shift by cable. I thoroughly despise the wife's Exploder Timberline. That "dial the gear" thing sucks. It is waaaay to slow reacting to when I change it. For me anyways. If I overshoot my stopping point and have to back up a bit, it turns into a disaster. I switch to reverse, wait a second or two, no shift, start to give some gas trying to find out why not moving, still nothing, so a bit more gas, now I got my foot harder on the brake pedal because I'm scared of the "hit" and finally it starts to creep then it jumps. By then I'm off the gas and because I'm so hard on the brake pedal the car slams to a halt. Not a fan. Always puts the e-brake on after going into park. PITA.

Unpopular opinion... Tube doors. Like do you want the doors on or not? Extra money, extra time changing them over, no benefit I can think of... I mean they're not really going to keep anything in and I doubt they provide all that much rigidity. If you're that worried about those things, just keep your doors on.

I personally think the tube doors are a cool look if done right. I'm not sure about an every day thing. I do think the Halo style doors are awesome, but in reality are just fancy tube doors.

Two more additions to my list:

1 1/2" "level kits" for that Carolina-squat look and Rust-belt fender flares.

Lol reading this thread makes me realize I have trash taste I love almost every useless tacky acessory mentioned. Not that I'd add them to mine, but I see the appeal. I want to defend them all. Make it your own brothers and sisters. Personally I want some big ol horns for my brush guard. So you can see where my taste lie.
