Worst Accessories so far?

[DarthLincoln]

Grill lights are everywhere and people keep evolving the idea.

WTH??? That makes no sense if they are low-brightness amber marker lights.

If those are high brightness white LEDS, maybe that is someone’s solution for flood or fog lights to help them see the trail. That at least provides function.

Also, that’s a huge gap between the bumper and body. Is that a body lift? It looks odd.

Another case of “if there’s space for them, let’s put lights there”

Flesh-welding aside; how do these hold up as grab bars?

I'm probably in the minority here (send the hate), but I think those paracord grab handles *look like cheap trash.

*edited from "are" to "look like"

Somewhere I saw 2 good points about the hard grab handles. Do you want something hard above your head in an accident and do they interfere with the airbags. In my opinion, good points.

Bartact are plenty strong & durable. The length problem is fixed if you fold-over one end & bolt thru the sling. Makes it shorter by about 1-1/4 inch. Then doesn't hang down - no visual interference

Great, so you have a strong and durable grab handle that looks like your kid made it at scout camp.

That's what side curtain airbags are for. Looks like the hard ones install to the bolts that hold the side curtain airbag on so should not interfere like something that hangs down (even a little).

...of note I don't have anything installed because I don't need help getting into my vehicle.

Yes and everyone knows that airbags alway deploy correctly in all crash situations. Maybe something hard like that makes sense to you but I’m not risking a metal bar through my skull.

I use the 7Sparta Handles. They have a grip on them, do not get hot, and I can literally shake the vehicle holding on to them.
The Airbags in our vehicle fire DOWNWARD not out. So these will not interfere with them. If this was the case Ford would not made those accessory points. Also if you're in a rollover and NOT wearing your seatbelts, you have bigger problems.

Paracord Handles can be had very inexpensively.

That's probably why they're (their, there?) so wildly popular.
Don't criticize, no one is on here to judge your choices.
Oh yeah, I'm THAT guy that has almost all of the 'Worst Accessories' on mine.

please don't assume my adulthood...I identify as a really old child.

Bronco owner for just over a week. Let the other half find some door sill protectors and this is what arrived. Had her send them back as they were not what I had in mind and let alone didn't have proper fitment.

Let me get this straight ....did you send back the sill protectors or the tube socks?

STO N SHO has nice option for modular

I put that on my Braptor. Works great and is basically invisible. Also a quick release.

OK - I guess I have to level a significant amount of hate toward you... (lol)

You're missing the whole point of 'Accessory Ready'... to put dumb stuff on here to illicit that vile response.

Here's something I put on the tailgate that's dumb and useless:

No comments allowed - this is really just a goof.

My first car. A 59 Ford Galaxie had a 352 police interceptor engine. 300Hp in the hands of a teenager. Was awesome times. Had a Borg Warner manual with overdrive and could do 80 in 2nd gear overdrive. Would bury the speedo in 3rd.

I think I've stayed away from all the really horrible ones, but my tailgate table is the worst accessory I've bought. I've used it maybe twice.

My off-roading almost always includes overnighting and the tailgate table gets used each and every time. Can't believe I drove a Jeep for 10byewrs without one, and instead I had a small folding table in the back.

Same here, it's always being used...

I am going to get killed for this but... Any brand name LED accessory. Yup, any.

People seem perfectly happy to pay $500 for two ditch lights or $1000+ for a light bar. I get it, they look slightly better and customer service is better, in the highly unlikely event that you ever need it.

In the mean time I can buy a $100 light bar or $40 ditch lights from Lasfit, Auxbeam, or Nilight that produce just as much light sometimes with better spread. In the highly unlikely event that they fail can be replaced 5x for less money than the big boys are asking for.

Retreating behind my flame shield now...
