Anyone agree? I figured by now there would be more stuff out there specifically in the area of bumpers, tops and higher offset wheels.
Personally I think there are quite a few bumper options out there..

Seems impossible to produce a top that either actually exists, doesn’t crack or doesn’t leak although seems maybe at least 1 company has one..

Who generally buys higher offset wheels? Pretty small market for that. Maybe you meant lower offset (IE 0 instead of +30)

I know what you mean about higher offset - seems most are looking for poke in aftermarket - I did with my jeeps, but with the Bronco I am looking for the tucked wheel look to keep it as boxy as possible. There are others like me out there, but maybe not enough?

Disagree.

Sparse compared to a Toyota Tacoma? Sure.

Sparse compared to a Frontier, Ranger, Colorado, F-150, 1500, 2500, etc, etc. No.

Yup, bumper selection is disappointing!
It appears like no one has the ability to bend or shape steel, just weld flat plate and charge too much...UGLY!

I had hoped by now someone would have stepped up with a traditional squarish back fully folding soft top for the 2-door. Back in the day there were many different brands and lines of soft tops for 4x4s especially Jeeps. But doesn't seem in the cards for the Bronco. :(

Depends on specifics.
The low hanging fruit, the cheap easy stuff, there's tons of crap out there.

Bumpers, lots of very similar stuff, and very few designs that kept the license plate location on the bumper, in my opinion bad call.

Roofs, I'm baffled by this one. The demand is high.
If I was an RV manufacturer, I'd be all over this, they would be able to pump these out and turn a much faster profit than building a whole RV. I'm not taling about them abandoning their core, just making room.

I found the Bronco actually had a decent aftermarket assortment, especially for a newer vehicle. It's a focus for many companies, and it'll continue to grow.

Not sure that I agree that it's small as a whole, but I'm 100% with you on the wheel selection. There are quite a few reasonably priced, lighter aftermarket wheel options out there, but precious few of them come anywhere close to the factory offset. I have no desire to push my tires outboard at all.

Ha, good one, I was confused until I reread "my own" post.

Given the quality of RVs the last thing you want them making is a Bronco roof. You also don't want a roof of fiberglass, way too heavy. That limits the number of manufacturers who could take this on.

Definitely over priced. The very few aftermarket accessories I have looked at for the Bronco are stupid expensive. I rarely look anymore and just enjoy the Bronco stock the way it came.
