One of the most anticipated re-releases in recent times has been the Ford Bronco. Owners of the popular 1970s model can now finally get their hands on the car they've been waiting for - and it seems adding the best aftermarket accessories makes each Bronco unique. Ford has already released five lifestyle accessory bundles in the outdoor lifestyle theme, including Bike, Water, Snow, Camping, and Cargo. While these add some extra utility over the base model, it doesn’t set the bar too high for what most people that will buy the Bronco are looking for.
Here, we will take a look at some of the best aftermarket parts to install on your Ford Bronco to revive some of that retro 35” tire set and countryside spirit Broncos.
Aftermarket Wheels And 35-Inch Tires
Installing a set of aftermarket wheels for your Bronco is one of the very first mods most will look into - together with a pair of 35-inch tires to match with the lift kit or stock height of your Bronco. When it comes to aftermarket wheels for Broncos there is a long list of options, but we think what looks best and brings the best bang for your buck is the Method Race Wheels. They look sharp, and have that iconic off-road look!
Depending on the wheel size you’re going with, you will face different price tags for these sets of wheels, but they surely fit the Bronco theme. Just make sure you get 5-set wheels and tires to get that desired look from your Bronco. The OEM reserve shall need replacement as well.
An Overlanding Tent For The Outdoor Life
The Overlander Tent quickly and easily attaches to the roof of your Bronco and extends wide enough to make room for two adults and a kid. This is an essential piece of accessory if you are going outdoors - it won’t exactly help you get out of the mud, but it will surely erase the mosquito-icky bugs excuse.
A Winch To Get In And Out Of Mud
Adding a winch to your Bronco will give you the power to get in and out of mud easier. This is one of the most essential tools when it comes to off-roading and based on the extremeness you're going to you can pick up a winch to your purpose. Winches come in two types of rope, which is important to know, as a steel winch will require a bit more time and maintenance compared to a synthetic rope. The best to go with is synthetic in our opinion as it costs less, is easier to operate, and won’t cause any serious injuries or damage to the car if high load is applied. The best in class winch according to many is the WARN 103253 VR EVO, capable of pulling 10,000 lbs it could get you in and out of uneven terrains with ease.
LED Strip And A Snorkel
The addition of an LED strip over your windscreen is a must. This is not the most essential piece of accessory, as we are not only focusing on the outdoor, off-roading lifestyle but also a few cosmetic touches to revive a powerful Bronco stance. LED strips come in different formats and can be installed in different areas of the Bronco, our best suggestion would be top of the windshield or center of the bumper just above the plate.
To match that powerful stance, the addition of a snorkel tunes up the theme even more. Snorkels act as the air intake for the car when going for a deep water fording and prevent water entering the intake, plus they look super cool. Some argue that the addition of a snorkel improves performance, as the air is more dense and clean due to the elevated height.
Floor Mats Lay Perfectly In Each Corner
When it comes to aftermarket parts, it’s just unbelievable how many manufacturers have worked with Ford to design Bronco-specific aftermarket parts. The floor mats fit as if there was no floor carpet at all, and they are snug in place perfectly. The addition of authentic floor mats is a must-have accessory, not only on Broncos, but any car you can possibly own.
A JBL Sound Bar Specific To The Bronco Only
The JBL soundbar is made specifically for Bronco’s, and you can have it installed from the dealer. As many of the buyers chose to have the Bronco bare-naked, with no options due to the lack of chips and long production run Broncos have been facing, you are more than likely not having this soundbar. Well, the bad things first - this totally blocks the rearview mirror weight as the soundbar covers almost 30% of the rear tailgate mirror and extends from the left to the right corner of the Bronco. The good news is, this is a dope music bar, high quality, and fits perfectly with the new Bronco.
A Rough Country Lift Kit
A lift kit is the best solution to get an inch or more ground clearance without really having to worry much about upgrading your suspension. Rough Country is a very popular name when it comes to lift kits, we came across this inexpensive lift kit for $149.95. Easy to install, this suspension kit includes everything you need to raise your vehicle, giving you more ground clearance, so you can run larger tires while also reducing the nose-down factory appearance for a more commanding presence on the road. In this kit, you will get two front and two rear upper strut spacers that will increase the Bronco height by 2-inches while not compromising the ride quality.
