New Bronco Owner!

[Ape Factory]

Congrats and greetings from another Braptor owner in Texas (San Antonio).

I have a "practical" build thread here which you may find interesting: Ape's "practical" build

It's not so much about hp as about utility (with some vanity thrown in for good measure) since I have an extended warranty and can't really do any serious power or suspension mods. I have one or two more mods to list including onboard (but portable) air.

It's a slippery slope though and I'm really good at enabling.

Something I’m getting done on my raptor next week and I recommend doing is full ppf, ceramic coating, and window tint.

Looks great in white man, welcome to the club!

^ Matte PPF over white would look siiiiiick on a Braptor!

@Kitae mods are a very personal decision and should be based upon your rig’s use case. Make it your own to suit your needs, not to conform with the masses.

If your going to add some color I suggest looking away from red and orange as everyone seems to go that direction. The cactus grey you picked looks great with many other colors.

I might do a little red accents but thanks for the feedback and I am starting to really love a more monochromatic look. I have seen a lot of beautiful braptors with that look. Also I can always change it up which I love!

Get with a club doing some light offroad, go to an off rodeo.

Thanks that is a great idea!

Welcome to the forum. That’s either a Gandalf the White or Winter Warfare Edition Raptor depending on how nerdy you are.

I trend nerdy. I like it either way.

Honestly, no decals needed.

Definitely team Gandalf here!

I gotta be honest I am going to put some decals on her but it's not a lifelong commitment!

I got the fuse maps and a few cosmetic things from there for my Bronco to be....

A fuse map on the fusebox should come from the factory. Good to see there are options to add it. It looks like the fuses may have changed for 2025? do you know what changed?

Thanks I checked your build out. Definitely will consider the rear view mirror camera that is something I want baaaaddd, and your build is very readable and detailed and has unique suggestions - awesome job!

Thanks! I usually do a lot of big things as I'm a modaholic. The mental anguish I go through daily, not being able to tune, do bigger turbos, all sorts of stuff, is truly painful. OEM engineering can be pretty good on occasion and I do enjoy the car as-is. I'm almost hesitant to say it but I think I'm done modding it. Famous last words!

If you can drive from a end of beach/sand/trails back to a gas station for air in 5-10 miles and can drive that slowly (40 ish or less), there isn't much need to have on board air.

However, if you want/need on board air, consider CO2 and Powertank Monster Valves. I can get from 15-32 psi in less than a minute per tire with only a 300 psi regulator on my tank. Powertank have 400 psi units. I built my own Powertank like system for way less than their prices. Finally hard mounted my cylinder as well. Absolutely love CO2 over air compressors.
