I recently purchased a 2023 Bronco Black Diamond Soft Top. Have a lot of questions I was hoping you more experienced Bronco owners can help me with. The reason I went with the Black Diamond was price and upgradeability.
Roof Rack - Ive read through the forums and haven't found a good solution to a roof rack on the soft top that doesn't create a big inconvenience. I was looking to add a Fishing/Ski rack between seasons and also potentially a smaller kayak rack during the summer. I don't want this to come at the expense of not being able to take the top off. Any recommended setups that have worked for you would be great. I live in Colorado and storms do come and go quickly, dont want to get stuck in the rain with the roof off and a rack on.
Hitch - car didn't come with a hitch, not looking to pull anything significant, wanted to throw a bike rack on the back. Any suggestions?
Ground Clearance - I've some light off roading in Moab without much difficulty. Living in Colorado and planning to take the car on some more challenging trails during the summer. Would love to get another 1-2 inches of clearance however weighing the cost options. Thinking of getting larger tires down the road once I put some distance on the current ones (32s all-terrain). Ive seen some leveling and suspension lift kits that can add 2 inches. Any simpler recommendations that wont break the bank (<$1500).
Any other early upgrades people would recommend that make a big difference to comfort or cosmetics? Short distance drive to work during the week and spend the weekends in the mountains hiking/skiing/fishing.
Thanks,
Jason
