Just picked up a 2023 Badlands 4 door last week. Added the autostop eliminator, K&N air filter and grab handles yesterday.

Congratulations! Might sound stupid, but the first upgrade I made on or second Bronco was the Mabett interior lights. The IAG option is likely very similar. The interior lights are pretty miserable.
Added the RRolling Big Power pedals to the BRaptor. Received them at a discount, so thought I would give them a try.
The Brake pedal was easy to do, but the go pedal......sheesh. A lot harder than it should have been. They feel good, and are not bad-looking overall. Would I recommend? Not so sure.....As I said, the accelerator was very painful. It's how the nuts screw on, and the way the pedal is set up.

You made a very good selection, package wise, the Badlands is pretty amazing. @ThunderFlash is on point, lighting is an issue on the bronco. There is plenty of armor on the BL model, but as you see, there can be a need for a few more areas if you decide to USE your new ride as it was attended. Cross members and shocks are low hanging fruit.
Another issue to address is front mud flaps, if you want to protect the paint and keep the rear fenders free of mud piles. Have fun! This can get expensive, so brace for impact.

It was a maverick Tonneau cover. It hopes to be a 2 dr delete seat bed cover.
So today I got in from powder coat and cerakote my Eruption Green shackles and rear recovery hooks and the cerakote was used for the limb risers to make them black while being able to do the threads and all.

Take good notes... I need one of those.
Installed SSV pods + kickers in the brap. Huge improvement. Not an audiophile but was really surprised… even low end sounds much better than factory B&O. I only play TOOL.

Finally wired the aux reverse light. Used Diode Dynamics harness which made it very nice.
I plugged the harness into the 7 pin trailer plug. Easy

For grits and shins...
Picture was taken at Uwharrie this last summer...

Stripped the interior and installed a Soundskins sound deadening kit + some extras in the wheel wells, doors and firewall. No scientific tests, but after three years of ownership I can say it definitely took some harshness of the road noise. Now to work on the hardtop wind noise.

Started at 9 am, finished by 3 pm, so not to tedious. Worse part was finding a few sharp metal pieces with my fingers. Like all of my automotive projects, it seems like blood sacrifice is a must.
