What is the best modification that you have made to your Bronco that you think others would also enjoy? For me it is easy, I added 6.5 inch back speakers. SSV Works has a rear pod replacement that converts the rear speakers to 6.5 inch Kicker speakers. I then added 4 inch Kicker speakers to the front dashboard. This has greatly improved the sound quality. Also, it was a super easy install, since they are plug and play on the rear speaker pod swap.

Ford Performance Tune. It's is like taking a GT Mustang and making it a GT500 Shelby. Upset I wasted 9k miles of avg 2.7l Bronco driving before installing in 15 minutes.

Ok. I’ll have to look into that. I just looked this up on YouTube. Looks like a great mod! Also, GO LAKERS!!

Go Lakers! The Broncos should come with the tune installed with the extra power and much smoother Trans shifts and more low end power...but they are set for 87 octane and ok specs for the masses (cant require premium from the factory or most people would lose their minds). Spend $5-$7 more a fill up for premium gas and install the tune and it becomes a different machine and you will wonder how you lived without it!

For me, it's a toss up between the XKglow rear halo light and Suma Performance mirrors
I’ve seen the XKglow rear brake mods. They look so cool but I think I’m a go with a plug and play option. I’d rather not do any wire splicing. I hadn’t hear of the Suma mirrors, I will have to look into that.

swapped head rests for the adjustable leather ones
Wow! Ok, I’ve never seen that. I will definitely look into that. It would be so nice to adjust the headrest. Does it go with the rest of the seat?

Better or worse gas mileage after? Thought it would be worse but have heard some say it got better.

Getting a little better about 1/2 mpg. But I definitely drive it harder now since it is so much more fun especially through the lower gears. Hard to explain but there's no lag between gears. It is like sport mode but no clunkyness and weird revs like sport mode can have.

Did you have the base or B&O sound system? Also did you need to make any changes with forscan after you swapped your speakers?

There are different color stitching depending on trim/part number. I have a base with grey and black seats so I ordered the headrest that went with the first edition with silver stitching, if I’m remembering correctly. I think they look good with them, but you could always try swapping covers

Have the base sound system, High Package. You don’t have to but I did some adjustments with Forscan. I honestly didn’t notice a difference when making the Forscan changes.

I really like my sway bar quick release links by AC Fab....Smoother ride over rocky terrain and more flex over bigger rocks and drop offs...Felt like it helped keep my wheels all on the ground this last trip to Johnson Valley....
