(fun list!) Bronco accessories to be avoided! (keep it friendly)

[SpiritAnimal]

Every single rear cupholder is hot garbage. IAG, Mabett, or the other random no-name from amazon.. They are all awful for the same reason and I have tried them all. They don't stay attached to the car very well. The manufacturers all focused on making them removable, but none of them have any kind of locking mechanism to actually keep them in place. Accelerate too hard with them loaded with drinks and they will all fall off of their mounts. My kids kick them over constantly. The Mabett comes closest to being good, and would be perfect if they had designed it to push straight down instead of engaging into a 45 degree angled rail thingy.

Tell me you don't have kids without telling me! My kiddos like having something to hold on to when we drive around town, even for short trips.

Nope, no kids, 2 dogs.

Tell me you have tube doors without telling me you have tube doors lol.

I have an accessory I never put on I as decided I did not need it, so don't like it as I wasted money. Personalized badges to replace your OEM fender trim badges. Before they arrived I took of my BD fender badges. Decided I liked the clean look so well I left it clean. I must be the only one as all I see are OEM or aftermarket fender badges in pics on here.

Add the Ford folding tailgate table. The table itself is decent but requires you drill 4 holes in the tailgate of your new Bronco and the hardware Ford supplies to mount it once you’ve drilled those holes is garbage.

I have this table and installed with ZERO drilling. I too stayed away for that reason but then saw a Ford display a couple years ago at an overland expo that had it installed without drilling "because someone was going to own the Bronco" the molle and table features are great BUT the spaghetti noodle cables that hold it up when open are embarrassingly weak.

One thing I wish I had ordered different is my J-Top. I like the product and the fact that I still get UV protection and some wind reduction when I take off the front panels, but I ordered the wrong color. Went with the “titanium gray” thinking it would be light enough to reflect some of the desert heat while dark enough to see through. Any light on it at all and it looks solid from inside, will probably order another one in black in the future just don’t want to spend that much again.

lol, the 'I wish I had a Raptor' grill lights. Silliest trend across all off-road vehicles imo.

If your vehicle width (not counting the wheel fenders) is 80" or wider, DOT mandates the 3 marker lights on the top of the front grille. Bronco's are less than 80" wide. Bronco Raptors are wider than 80".

I don't know what you don't like about this? They should come from the factory looking like this beauty!

Good lord that’s ugly!

Hey! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! But I agree, I'm not beholding that.

For my original Bronco I bought one of those Ford accessory Molle Panels for the tailgate. Mostly because I don't like the interior look of the tailgate. Found it pretty much useless. The clips didn't fit quite right and the cheapo adhesive wouldn't stay stuck. It for sure isn't up to holding anything more than a couple of pounds. Not making that mistake again.

The all rim, less tire look is the most idiotic thing I’ve seen. It does not look good on any vehicle, and even worse on trucks and off road SUVs.

Has anyone bought these? I was wondering if they actually stayed attached. I don’t like the big colors but the carbon looks pretty good.

I think it is more like the beauty is in the eye of the beerholder. Some people get the goggles on and can't see straight.
