I learned a lesson from my two F150s:

2003 Harley F150: Radio antenna post rusted solid to the screw-in base.
2010 Raptor F150: I didn't learn from the '03, same antenna rust.

The first thing I'm going to do is is pull the radio antenna fender mount parts and glop it full of dielectric grease. And I'm gonna regrease it all at every oil change.

Why not spray it with conformal coating first too?

Conventional tailgate assuming it has a swing gate like jeep. But will have to wait for the aftermarket on that so probably exhaust + tune.
I also wish it had a drop tailgate and a bumper mounted spare tire rack. Glad Iā€™m not the only one thinking that way.

Well if it arrives in time for hunting season mine will get two custom built dog boxes to go behind the rear seats for my bird hunting buddies. Probably have to add a storage box on top for guns and ammo.
Next will be LED lights if needed, maybe some ATs w/rims for winter driving, but besides that I have no idea. I think I will have to drive it for six months to a year to figure it out. Canā€™t wait just to plant my ass in the seat! šŸ˜ŽšŸ‘

Tint will happen immediately, then itā€™s wheels and 35ā€™ Nitto Trail Grapplers. Prolly keep the SAS wheels and GYā€™s as my winter set.

After that itā€™s a waiting game for aftermarket brands to gain access to Bronco for development purposes.

Wish list:
- ARB twin compressor for OBA is important
- rear bumper with swing gate tire carrier, Jerry can holder & hilift mount.
- rear spare delete kit if I swap to swing gate
- relocate rear camera
- swap out fuel tank for larger tank
- rear facing dust light in bumper or as high as I can get. (No roof rack allowed)
- ditch lights - depending on how the light catches the hood. Will try.
- fog lights on front bumper x 4. Two yellow wide beam, two white spots.
- front bumper with better winch mount
- frame mounted sliders
- Goose Gear fold down tailgate table
- full on suspension lift over Sasquatch is TBD. All depends on how the 2D Sasquatch Badlands compares to my heavily modified 4D Tacoma.
- floor mats and little stuff - Iā€™ve never liked OEM mats.
- relocate / extend all breathers up

The list is long. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜ŽšŸ˜‚


PEACE

I don't know what that is, but I like the sound of it!
Stuff they spray on circuit boards for weather proofing-ish... resistance? It's to protect against moisture and humidity. It might help if the dielectric grease comes off of an area before you're able to reapply. It's just a theory, but if you're messing with it anyway. I don't even know if my radio antenna works; I use SiriusXM or my phone.

  • Rock rails because Ford changed their mind and no longer includes them with Badlands trim. ***EDIT: this might be false information***
  • 12v Fridge + Slide system for it
  • Foglights because for whatever reason a $55k build doesn't include them

Thatā€™s a mistake in the B&P. Itā€™s still included.

I really hope you are right, but I'm not counting on it. The only confirmation I could find was someone's dealer assuring them they were included. If the ordering guide is anything like the packaging guide or B+P, then it's still a mistery.

I'll quote everyone's favorite Ford employee (aside from Missy):

Ford Bronco Your first 2021 Bronco mods will be? SmartSelect_20210214-134044_Chrome


That was in response to the packaging guide. Hopefully the ordering guide is better.

Wheels and tires. 34s and Methods.
Then power steps. Then an external rack as soon as GOBI releases one.
