How come your WT doesn’t have the black hood decal or is it not a thing anymore?
That's probably something that happens after the assembly line. The e-mail from Ford says, "Don't worry. Any accessories you may have ordered for your Bronco™ SUV will be added on before shipment." This seems like something more easily done off-the-line. My Bronco's birth photo didn't have the OEM roof rack.

My single best modification is the factory soft top I purchased from another member. I love the ease of opening and closing and the fact that it goes all the way down.

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.
Same in the 2.3, changes the whole experience and is by far worth it. Also getting a little better MPG. Best MOD so far for me too.

Nice! I’m sold! Where did you purchase the Ford Performance Tune? I want to look into making the purchase.
Lethal Performance is where I got mine and had it installed at a local Ford dealer.

No, you need to run premium. According to Ford Performance It can result in engine damage without it. I sold an Audi before buying the Bronco, and it also required premium fuel. There was not a single incident in which I could not find premium in 10 years of driving it, so I am not too worried about that.
This is not true. The tune adjusts to the octane rating depending on the fuel detected. You can use 87 but you won't have the performance advantages of using 92+

This is going to sound odd, but my best modification was the white top. The Badlands is already near-perfect for me, as it has everything I want and lacks nothing I need mechanically.

Looks great. What was your solution on the wheels?

re drill, and cutoff rear lower coulover mounts.

this mod gives 2" more ground clearance under the axle and gives a nearly free 2" lift on the rear.

perfect super easy solution.
Do you already have a detailed post about this mod? Would love to read about it

Definitely changing FORscan setting so truck doesn't double honk when I exit the vehicle ... neighbors early in the morning are thankful.

I went with the 15-52 wheels. They look most like the Heritage wheels and are aluminum/magnesium, so are lighter than the Detroit Steel wheels. I don't care for their center caps, so I'm currently running without them, but I'm looking into filling them in so that I can put a little Bronco horse over them.
