HERITAGE EDITION Bronco Club

[King63]

Looks incredible!!! The best Bronco stripe from their history!

Over the weekend I added the Ridergraphix Retro style graphics and Ford script style emblems
(Ford Performance: M-1447-BSS) to give it a more Classic look.

That looks great! I was going to go with the standard "limited" stripe and add the Bronco badges, but I like this stripe as it adds some dimension to the hood bump without having to add the fake hood scoop or full hood bump graphic. Did you install it yourself or have a shop do it?

I installed it Myself, there a "Wet" install so you have some time to work it around so everything lines up.

I wanted to install a winch but I actually like the capable bumper, so I didn't want to replace it and I wanted to keep the clean look of the front end, so I decided to install the Lobo Offroad HNT winch skid and a Superwinch SX10SR with Factor55 Flatlink E. Connected it up to a Stinger 500A relay so I can disconnect the power with an Aux switch. Also installed the Mabett trans skid while I was under there. Only need the transfer case skid now, which I just ordered today.

Pretty happy with how it turned out:

If anyone else wants to install a Superwinch on the HNT skid, be forewarned that the bolt holes didn't quite line up, so since I already had the grinder out to lop off the frame horns, I added some clearance by grinding off the corners of the front mounting feet a bit more. Worked like a charm.

that looks awesome, I was considering getting the FP winch kit on the capable bumper.

Question, how much weight was added? did you notice a drop in ground clearance?

Also how do you control that winch? do you have to reach under there somewhere to plug in a remote?

Bro, I’m just gonna live through you!!!
So the rest y’all comprehend, we live 2mi apart…

Just back from the detailer after tint and ceramic. I had some sleepless nights wondering if REB was the right choice; really glad I stuck with it.

 

[Secampbell7]

How hard was it to install those? Difficulty rating from 1-10?

I would say a 3-4 maybe. Just changing hardware and trimming some plastic. Plastic trimmed up real easy too. Maybe a 1-2, after all.

Thanks!
It probably added around 100 lbs going by the shipping weight of the winch and the skid plate.
Dropped the front about 3/8"

The winch comes with both wired and wireless controllers. You could relocate the solenoid pack to maintain access for the wired controller, but I haven't decided if I am going to do that or not, so right now it's just the wireless.
You can also"clock" the gearbox to rotate the clutch handle 90-180-270 deg. I rotated it to put the handle to the back hoping that I could reach in there to turn it, but the handle stuck out too far and hit the cross member, so I took the handle off for now. I will just have to power out the line instead of freewheeling it

I looked HARD at the skid plate winch mount.
Didn't want a winch poking out front.
Unfortunately I already had the winch, pulled it off my F250... And I wouldn't be able to easily reach it.
Then I got to thinking about every time I needed one, and the answer to that was... In mud or snow.
If I lived out West or wouldn't be dealing with much of the muck, I may have figured something out... A way to remotely activate freespool.
I really love how clean it looks.

Will the Heritage Edition package (NOT Heritage Limited) be available to order for 2025?

I've heard rumors it will not. Heritage and Heritage Limited was a 2 year run only.

 

[Brsox]

There are 32 2-doors and 18 4-doors on AutoTrader… most still “in transit”. Better hurry!

Not that the Heritage is going to hold its value any better than any other Bronco....Bronco's, both 2023s and 24s, are stacked like cord wood on dealer lots now....but it's nice having something that's a little more exclusive.

 

[Brsox]

I'm still pretty certain that us "standard" HEs are more rare than the Limiteds and probably more-so once you figure configured options vice the all-in-one Limiteds.

That could be. You can't get a manual on the limited.

 

[Brsox]

Agree. I filtered out Limited’s by price. There’s 445 of those on AutoTrader and that doesn’t include the Peak Blue ones still to be built.

Well, they obviously made more standard Heritage Editions. You see more of the Limiteds sitting on dealer lots due to the absurd price. I'd love to pick up a Robins Egg blue 2 door, but it's just not worth the $72k price tag. I got my 2 door manual Heritage for $44k with price protections and private offer. There's no way the bigger engine, the auto, leather and heated steering wheel are worth almost an additional $30k.

Us 2 door 23 HE owners have the true rare birds.
Not sure how many will be made for 24, but the 23s are very few and far between.
Bonus points for the manual.

Do we have a count of the total ‘23 2DR HE manuals yet?
