What's the best purchase you've made for your Bronco under $200?

[jwhisl]

Almost everything I've purchased for my Bronco has been under $200 but if I had to choose the most useful it would be my wireless aux switches. Mine didn't come with the upfitter switches and I plan to add a bit of lighting. For $109 I couldn't pass it up

Easy-peasy...15 minute job. Should of come from the factory w/ them.

Agreed

Hell my 2007 F350 had hood struts from the factory yet the $64k msrp Wildtrak didn't.

Hood struts $100

I agree with this and added them to my Wildtrak

Pulled them off after it was totaled and they will be going on the HEL I just bought

Could be a tool, accessory, storage solution, recovery gear, anything...

Some of the less obvious, in ascending price::

Chums sunglass holder
Lev-O-Guage
Bogg cup holders (just happen to fit molle seatbacks perfectly)
Course Motorsports phone holder
Tailgate molle (w bottle opener & improvised rod holder)
Rough Country high clearance crash bars
ASFIR transmission crossmember skids (for 2.7's only)

Do not all Broncos have the built-in pitch and roll display? Or do you have another reason for this? Inquiring minds want to know.

You're right, the gauges have the the same. More back seat entertainment while I navigate the trail.

Autostop Eliminator. One of the best mods at any price.

I really like the storage bags that clip over roll bars (I feel like the Filson bags were designed to be a premium version of these). I got mine for $90 at the time from Amazon, though I feel like most sets are over $100 now.

I recently got a pair of rear window storage bags from Amazon that I like for $60. They come with suction cups for mounting, but I have a soft top so they fit nicely between the window and soft top hardware (behind the roll bar begs mentioned above).

I also enjoy my Bartact door storage pocket bags that I replaced the OEM net pockets with, I think was around $100.

I plan on getting the tailgate molle panel with smaller molle bags, around $70ish.


I often go on two-week road trips where I sleep in the Bronco most of the nights, so maximizing internal storage is a high priority.


Edit: Forgot to mention Blue Ridge Overland attic net. I think this was around $80, and I highly recommend it! I store blankets and jackets up there without blocking rear mirror visibility.

Sounds like you've put a lot of thought into maximizing every bit of storage space.

Sleeping in the Bronco for two-week trips definitely changes how you look at mods. That attic net recommendation is interesting. We've seen a few people mention them, but being able to stash blankets and jackets overhead without blocking visibility sounds like a smart use of space.

ExoShield for windshield and a set of hood struts.

Starting to think hood struts might be running away with this thread. Seems to be a common answer.

Also glad to hear ExoShield made your list as well. Thanks for the support!

Arm rest on the drivers door window track.

That's one of those upgrades you appreciate every single time you get behind the wheel.

Mabett or Sunpie door pocket protectors. They are useful and keep the netting from stretching out.

Oh this is a great one! Simple but clearly effective.

The worst is when the net gets so stretched that it doesn't even do it's job anymore!

1) Paracord grab handles
2) Mountains2metal Squatch basket
3) Sunglasses holder

That's a pretty well-rounded list. All useful items.

Does one of them stand out more than others?

Sun visor color matched topo stickers (StickerFab) that cover those big ugly warning stickers. Zero functionality but those orange and white and red stickers ruin the Bronco vibe.

Rubber door compartment covers that go over the useless pocket net. Rubber makes them flex and mold to hold even the largest tumblers, and no squeaks. IAG.

Paracord grab handles -short girl problems. Amazon

interior lights. IAG

Hooks for the roll bar to hold things that otherwise would drive me crazy rolling around the tailgate. Amazon

Tailgate table with integrated molle panel. IAG

Molle panels for underneath the front seats. One secured my fire extinguisher and the other holds my midland radio speaker. Amazon

Sometimes the mods that change the vibes are the best ones!

And grab handles are a must! (short girl over here too).

 

[exoshield]

Autostop Eliminator. One of the best mods at any price.

Oh that does sound very nice. Do you have a specific brand that you go with?

Even after thousands of dollars spent on a broad range of upgrades, it's still this simple little overhead basket - hands down.
