There are universal mud flaps,

Those are the ones I used. I just did the fronts. Not very long but I'm going to build slider steps so that should be OK.

I'm not a mud flap guy but look at these rocks! I went 50 mph after going off-road and there are still a dozen rocks in each tire ready to go wheee next time I'm on the interstate.

I've had my Bronco now for about seven months and I love everything about it! (except the auto/start/stop, which I hate even more). I am and will always be a Chevy guy. But the Bronco has been every thing I hope for. It drives great, very easy to work on and It turns heads!

Hmmm, Wheelsmith... Powdercoated, Cactus Grey match? Interesting! So many options, and I like them all! Mrs. Fun says, "Get wheels you like for every category." LOL.

I have to say, you have introduced a new option at my house that's very cool! Thank you!
Has that very minimal, designed, Icon Bronco look. A very serious consideration. So tight!
@AARDVARK122 is a wheel connoisseur!

I think the color match on the cactus grey would look fantastic. I am not sure about other colors. But cactus grey for sure.

Do those type of wheels cause any issues with heat?

IDK? As in no air getting to brakes?

 

[wuttusayy]

for those that are so inclined, what is your plan for adding a steel bumper (with or without winch). What vendors are you looking at and what all is involved with replacing the standard bumper?

I ordered svc off-road this week - eta 4-6 weeks

Correct. Although, I don’t know if that’s a thing. Just wondering. Maybe someone else will chime in.

is that the Baja style bumper? I like that. Wondering how difficulty it’s going to be to deal with the tow hooks from the OEM plastic bumper.

Base 4DR Sasquatch with the 2.3 here. The only thing that I'd really add is heated front seats!!! The stereo is not the best, but neither is the B&O from other reports. Certainly doesn't sound like it was worth all of the upgrade charges. Also wish there was an independent bass sub upgrade for the base model!!

Aftermarket heated seats not a problem but I would like heated steering wheel

Well, here's what I do. I look at things make choices and then ask questions from people I'm buying the product from. With regards to engineering and performance on vehicles I own, I talk to service managers at dealers and, I have friends in the industry who work at a couple major auto makers and I ask them. Try to obtain all the info you can as opposed to just buying stuff. It's amazing how much you can screw up your vehicle by making a decision based on how something looks.
