Now what???

[MD24Bronco2.3]

Hi all, I just bought a New Bronco! Actually, it's my wife's, and she loves it! 2024 Outer Banks, Carbonized Gray, and just under a week old. One thing I know I want is a no-drill front license plate bracket, which it looks like I can pick up on Amazon. Not really looking to do anything extreme to it. I'll probably look into a spare tire cover at some point, too.

Any other cool or especially useful accessories for the Bronco I could spend my money on that might keep the smile on her face?

Oh boy, in on this one. Whatever you do, don’t add up the mod costs.

The first thing you should buy is a battery tender.

She'll drive it almost daily. Why do you say that?

Mud flaps #1. What bumper do you have plastic or Mod?

Low battery charge causes all sorts of random issues and when weird stuff starts happening the first step is usually reboot the Bronco and trickle charge over night. And when you do get to Forscan, you will want one for programming.

A nice, cheap thing to have in the tool box.

For other things:

Mud flaps
Floor mats
Forscan out the double honk and doo-doo-doo
Upgrade that stereo!
All the topo stickers
Grab bars
Hydraulic hood struts
Lights. All the lights in the world
Rock rail with steps or powered steps
Bimini top for all the wifey topless driving

And the obligatory:
37” tires

Outer Banks is pretty nice from the start. Considering it’s your wife’s, I wouldn’t go too crazy and let her see if there’s anything that pops out to her. I would suggest paracord grab handles. I have a set, might have even gotten them on amazon, and they’re quite useful. Basically, just drive it, or let her drive it, for awhile and see what you need to make it yours. Have fun!

I like the DV8 plate mounts, I have one for the mod bumper. My parents have both been driving Wranglers for the past 20 years and my mom’s Jeeps always end up with more mods than my dad’s.

oh yeah, why no photos?

Well first thing: DO NOT READ MY MOD LIST. That sir is the rabbit hole you do not want to go down

Next, get things that make sense to you. Grab Handles are a good start. After that, you can go many directions, just consider what the use will be. That will help guide you on your way.

So...as I say, Let the mods........BEGIN!

Basic plastic, I believe.

Gotcha. I've experienced the weird battery issues with my Mustang, which sometimes sits a week or two. However, an AGM battery and a tender have solved that. Hope I don't have to use it for this vehicle.

I like the mud flap idea to start. Oh yeah, and the hood struts.

Because I haven't seen it since the day we bought it!! She took it straight to visit our daughters out of state to help one with a baby and the other with one on the way.

I drive mine daily, or every other day, and haven't had any problems.

Go ahead and take whatever cash you have in your wallet and toss in a bucket and then light it on fire. It will help mentally prepare you for this journey.

Seriously, have fun with it. Go hit some trails and learn what you really need and want.

Have had 5 Broncos. First thing I always get is a proper phone mount. Tons of options out there. Next most useful is an armrest (center console) organizer. Also, if you don’t have the sunglasses holder in yours, check out the Squatch Basket from Mountains2Metal . I keep like 3 pairs of sunglasses in it
