At least once a weekend. Usually either a high clearance 4x4 road for the less crowded hiking trails, aimlessly driving around forestry roads, or hitting actual named trails. Last weekend I was put-putting around Jones Pass in the middle of a storm... so kinda dumb on my part. This weekend...
Weather striping around the hardtop & kilmat. Now I can hold conversations with people riding in the back seat.
Replacing all the speakers & adding a sub made the audio light-years better.
All of that has made just existing in my Bronco much nicer.
I use the rear the most, but it's really nice turning both on & just walking up the obstacle your buddies were struggling on. I call it my easy button.
For snow I'd also consider a set of those 18in wide Icelandic tires.
I haul people all the time. During the winter I regularly have it filled with 3 passengers + me & all our snowboarding gear, driving up to the mountain each weekend.
One friend said, "wow barely any room to fit it all." My response was No, exactly enough room.
I don't mind being a buddy...
I've been thinking it'd be cool for someone to come up with some sort of quick release hinge for it. I'd also love to be able to pop it off easily when the front panels are off. Leaving it open on short drives hasn't been an issue so far tho.
My sub & amp came from factory not working, so since I was replacing both, I figured I'd upgrade the box to this: https://additivecaraudio.com/shop/bronco-subwoofer-square/
Fits in the factory location perfectly. Just had to run a thicker power cable for the amp, but that was pretty easy.
I just replaced all the 4 inches with infinity references & added a 8in square kicker sub in the back. Also added sound deadening while working on the sub. I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out.
I'd say just replacing the 4" speakers is good enough for a quick & easy upgrade. But then...
Personally, a RTT seems like kind of a waste. Heavy, expensive, & I don't want a tent living on the roof of my truck. It's still a daily at the end of the day.
I just use a basic 3 person dome tent from REI. It has just enough room for me +1 & some gear. It was cheap, light, super fast to set...
