Just sold a boat. So I won’t need to Bring On Another Thousand.
But I feel the need for retail therapy. Bronco part time. Suspension and tires are out of the question until OEM tires need to be replaced.
2022 Badlands soft top.
My list of possibilities. Some, all or what else?
Catch can

Archetype fender badges and/or BYOD rail and console badge.

Sun shade of some sort. Thinking Dirty Dog. Want the best, tightest fitting available regardless of cost.

1.5 in wheel spacers with stock 33’s. Thoughts on this idea wanted.

Soft top lift assist.

21 off-road soft top window bag.

Miss anything? Maybe some back of seat Molle panel accessories. Looking for other ideas. Nothing tacky. No crazy colors. Don’t want it to look like a Jeep. As you can see I’m not looking for major changes underneath yet. Just “lots of fun parts to add”. Already have IAG EZ steps, tint.

I’d avoid all the little cheap trinket type upgrades and focus all the spend on something major. Wheels transform the aesthetic of a rig, and your stock 285/70R17 tires will work on whatever 17” wheels you want to run with different tires later. +35mm offset Methods are a great fit on non SAS. I personally wouldn’t do wheel spacers.

My rig is not that heavily modified, but I really like the visual and functional impact of what I’ve done to date. Wheels and 285/75R17 tires, mostly street legal lights, the front prerunner bar, the Plugnplaykits 200.4 amp upgrade, Bestop Sunrider top, Rokblokz mud flaps, and recently aluminum side steps/sliders. This pic was taken fully loaded on the trip to Offrodeo NH in late October. I’m looking at winch bumpers and want to add a 1” leveling kit up front.

Did you consider Jtops for the shade. You did say you wanted the best. Voted 3 to 1 the best by this form.
I have it already

Big fan of the IAG soft top struts. Allows one-handed opening of the rear top. They have worked flawlessly for me since install back in July.

J Tops is definitely on the list. Audio slipped my mind. It needs help badly.

Don't let that stop you, it hasn't stopped a lot of us, and someone with a lower trim will give you good money for your take offs.

To me it’s wasteful. Not knocking those that have removed new OEM’s. I like the OEM wheels. 35’s and some small amount of lift when the 33’s are done.

Is make a list of all I've done, and I'm an accountant! So we don't like spending..... But I can't remember half of what I've done and don't have time to list the other half.
