  • Which side skirt/running boards should i get for base models for off roading and looks nice? Mine came with nothing.
OEM take-off running boards and rock rails sell for $50-100 on Facebook/craigslist

  • Where can i get the center console passenger oem grab handle for cheap ?
Unless someone's have a baby, the location for that handle is pretty unless

  • Can i install the premium headlight/taillight set on a base model?
The "Signature headlights", are only marginally better than your Base LED headlights, but it is possible to add them.
  • Do i need to get a steel bumper to install a bull bar?
Capable bumpers can sometimes be had for around $100-150 on marketplace

None

  • Where can i get the center console passenger oem grab handle for cheap ?
This is a Ferd. Cheap doesn't exist.

  • Can i put the half roof (3 panel subroof) on but keep the rear truck lid canopy cover off?
I believe in you.

  • Can i code my bronco to get rid of the youtube play restrictions while im driving? Is there also a way to screen share my phone onto the screen?
This isn't Star Trek.

  • Can i install anything that higher trims have?
The secret handshake is too difficult to learn.

  • Can i install the premium headlight/taillight set on a base model?
Voodoo is your friend.

  • Do i need to get a steel bumper to install a bull bar?
Depends on the breed of the bull.

See above.

  • which cool military style accessories or parts can i get for my bronco bas
Which military? The Ugandans might have stolen a Bronco from Mexico. Try emailing them.

Bronco questions:

Hello, i am a new owner and i have a 2025 base model
  • Which side skirt/running boards should i get for base models for off roading and looks nice? Mine came with nothing. OEM takeoffs are probably the cheapest route.
  • Where can i get the center console passenger oem grab handle for cheap ? Probably facebook marketplace. I just deleted mine, I'd give it to you if you were closer, but can't be bothered to ship it.
  • Can i put the half roof (3 panel subroof) on but keep the rear truck lid canopy cover off?
  • Can i code my bronco to get rid of the youtube play restrictions while im driving? Is there also a way to screen share my phone onto the screen?
  • Can i install anything that higher trims have? Rims are a common swap. I am using Badlands takeoffs on my Big Bend. You can get Big Bend takeoffs super cheap. Someone would probably give them to you if you asked nicely. Honorable mention for ranger take offs if you prefer those. Badlands cost a bit more, and sasquatch even more than that. If I had a stock base, I'd probably be looking for badlands takeoffs with the factory KO2s still on them.
  • Can i install the premium headlight/taillight set on a base model?
  • Do i need to get a steel bumper to install a bull bar? at the moment, yes. I think IAG is working on one for us plastic peasants though.
  • Can i install the premium headlight and tail lights into a base model without mods or extra wiring or anything? Will it set off
  • which cool military style accessories or parts can i get for my bronco base There's a good deal of molle panels out there that bolt in. I'm not really sure what you mean by military accessories beyond that. I think I have seen some picatinny rails for mounting stuff to the dash.

As far as military stuff, I installed a tailgate table with a molle panel and molle panels on the backs of my seats. The army recently switched camo patterns and the ACU Pouches are available cheap. I used to ride horses, so I couldn't resist dressing up the Sustainment Pouch like a saddle bag. It doesn't hurt that the ACU compliments the cactus gray color and the sagebrush of my state.

Bronco questions:

Hello, i am a new owner and i have a 2025 base model
  • Which side skirt/running boards should i get for base models for off roading and looks nice? Mine came with nothing.
    • What do you want to do with your Bronco? And how much do you want to spend? Lots of options here
  • Where can i get the center console passenger oem grab handle for cheap ?
    • Ebay maybe? I haven't seen too many of them though.
  • Can i put the half roof (3 panel subroof) on but keep the rear truck lid canopy cover off?
    • I've seen people do it. I can't vouch for it though
  • Can i code my bronco to get rid of the youtube play restrictions while im driving? Is there also a way to screen share my phone onto the screen?
    • There is an Android box you can get that will do that - I think Carlinkit gets recommended around here. or a Naviks dongle to bypass the speed restrictions on everything.
  • Can i install anything that higher trims have?
    • Pretty much - some things may take a bit of ingenuity, but almost everything will fit. Only real restriction is some 2d vs 4d accessories.
  • Can i install the premium headlight/taillight set on a base model?
    • Yes. There are threads here talking about how to do it.
  • Do i need to get a steel bumper to install a bull bar?
    • No, but there are a lot more options for the modular bumper than the base plastic or capable steel. But there are a few options for the non-modular bumpers. See Rough Country Nudge bar for one.
  • Can i install the premium headlight and tail lights into a base model without mods or extra wiring or anything? Will it set off
    • Yes, although some features beyond stock may require extra wiring - like flashing lights, backlighting, etc.
  • which cool military style accessories or parts can i get for my bronco bas
    • I'd start with Bartac.

      when i have more questions i may post on this thread
