Congrats! Been there, done that. Back in August my wife saw the red OBX, and next thing you know we got it.

Definitely get the paracord grab handles and all the corresponding lights over the doors. Makes all the difference in the world.

I also like replacing the roll bar light and the trunk area light with bright LEDs. Easy peasy.

So, do you have a soft top or a hard top? We have soft top; I got the hydraulic struts for it, and that's very nice. No more need for the kickstand to hold it up after unlatching it at the rear. Just click the releases, and it goes up. I also got the struts for the hood. They're all very easy to install.

And yes, auto start stop eliminator is great. Of course, you can always train yourself to hit the button every time you start the car, but after two months we never got used to that. And we never got used to the autostop feature overall. I'd just rather not stress the battery and the starter to begin with.

I recommend the carlink multimedia box Turn the mainscreen into a virtual laptop...you can do nearly anything with the little black box, surf the web, watch YouTube, use onX maps, hook it up to a printer for work, play games, download any app, ect...

best entertainment for yer dollar

Everyone complains about the stereo. I replaced dashboard speakers, subwoofer with 8" and upgraded rear pods to 6 1/2" - all kickers. Turned off the equalizer using Forscan. Mine sounds pretty good to me. Turning off the equalizer and replacing the subwoofer made the most difference. Holding off on installing the Kicker 200/500 amps for now.

Upgraded interior lights, grab handles and the structs on the hood and softtop are used daily.

Enjoy!

I have the 'Standard Bumper' (see picture). Not the Modular or Capable. I went with this plate holder, but did have to drill into the plastic rock guard, but I prefer this placement.
Ford Bronco Now what??? Dog Plate

The dog likes it also.

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?
Colored trim rings - it’s an “accessory to the outfit”! lol!

Team two door or team four door? That is the real question.
What do you plan to use said sport Ute for? Camping? Crawling? Mudding? Commuting? Hot-rodding? Overlanding? Mall-crawl?
This is the important stuff to give you a direction.

I've had mine a month and have done the following...

Full PPF
Tinted the front driver and passenger windows to match the rest
All weather mats
Mud flaps
Tri-lamp lights to fit in the spaces for the modular bumper (Rough Country)
Rough Country nudge bar with four 4" spot lights
Fire extinguisher (not really a mod)
Paracord Grab handles (ordered)
Tow Strap Recovery kit
Mabett Under Seat vents
Rearview mirror wiretap for my radar detector
Tailgate storage system from the Ford Website

That doesn't count some tools I purchased that I needed (but should've had) for the light connections and the mounting of the nudge bar.

That's most, but probably not all.

I'm on a first name basis with my Amazon and FedEx driver. I need to stop!

Keep it simple and add as you (& your wife) see fit.
As mentioned in this thread, suggestions for the initial and simple must haves to include: Mud Flaps for the front, Floor Matts and Rear Cargo Matt, Grab Handles to help shorter passengers get in, Sill Guards to protect the door sills, Organizer trays for the Center Console & Glove Box, Cell phone holder.
Take a pause and then reassess you next priorities. There is so much you can do as as others have indicated, you can quickly fall into a rabbit hole and spend, spend, spend...
Enjoy your ride and welcome to the Bronco family!

You all are amazing--thanks! To answer some questions... 4 doors and a soft top. What are we planning to do with it? Well, #1, ride around looking cool! Probably some camping and maybe using it to haul our bikes if I can find a decent way of doing that. Those tasks previously were the job of the F150 (still an option), so we'll see. Hot rodding? No, the Mustang scratches that itch. Oh, and there's also a Fusion Hybrid for the boring MPGs needed for my commute.

Dirt bikes or mountain bikes? Does it have a tow package? Looking cool, you have already nailed it! Lots of camping options! We use the F350 for that. I'd look at Bimini top options.

I’m right there with you. I do t thing I have any intentions of hot ridding my Bronco, it will serve as an everyday driver with occasional off pavement activities.

As for speed, I have the CTS-V and Roush Mustang to scratch those itches to use your term.
