Black Diamond Grille
I'm not a fan of the Ford Bronco Big Bend grille, so the first thing I did was switch it out for the Black Diamond trim grille. The grille and the letters are available through a Ford dealer parts department. I had to use epoxy on the letters to attach them to the grille. The grille itself was an easy install.

Roush Package by Long McArthur
I wanted to upgrade the wheels and tires from the factory Big Bend and when Roush came out with their Bronco R Package on jumped it, getting it at dealer cost. The package includes Cold Air Intake, Performance Exhaust, Graphics Package and more.

IAG EZ Lift Soft Top Assist
The soft top rear lift is a little weird to operate so the IAG EZ Lift Soft Top Assist was a great addition to the Bronco. I did not do an install video on this one but IAG has a good one that I followed. Here is a video where I first highlighted it on the Bronco along with the Bimini Top.

Bimini Top
Our first ride with the top down with our grandson riding along made us realize we probably need a little shade if the grandkids are going to riding along. So I added the Bestop Bimini Mesh Top. I did not do an install video on this either but here is the first video that I highlighted it along with the IAG EZ Lift Soft Top Assist.

IAG Interior Dome Lights
The Bronco really lacks in interior lighting so I bought the IAG Interior Dome Light Kit. It was pretty time consuming to install but I got it done in one afternoon and I'm thankful that I have it. Watch the install video.

Ford OEM Rock Rails
I've always liked the look of the Black Diamond with the Grille and Rock Rails so I added the Ford Rock Rails and I love the look and the protection they give as well. Watch the install video below.

Rough Country LED Ditch Lights
Another Rough Country item that I added was the LED Ditch Lights. I choose the wider version instead of the square ones for more coverage. Watch the install video below.

Rough Country Hood Struts
Not an item that is necessary but is nice to have is the Hood Struts. I went with the Rough Country ones because of the price since we are a Rough Country dealer. I had the dealer install them because I was getting close to Super Cel East and need it done. The first video I highlighted it is listed below.

Ford OEM Tailgate Table
Another one of things where everyone else is doing it so why not. This is also an item that I had the dealer install because of time and the fact that I didn't want to drill into my tailgate. This was highlighted on my Bronco Super Cel East walkaround video.

Rough Country Tailgate Reinforcement & Brake Light Extension
I thought I probably should get a tailgate reinforcement since I had 35" tires but I also looks great. I also added the brake light extension. Watch the install video below.

ARB Full Body Skid Plates
I added the ARB Skid Plates after going off road and hit some things with my non-Sasquatch Bronco so I thought it would be good idea before going on the trails in Colorado. I had the dealer install the ARB Skid Plates. I did record an overview and review video.

Tufskin "BRONCO" Lettering
I've always liked the white BRONCO lettering but I saw some Tufskinz lettering on some Broncos at Bronco Super Cel Wisconsin and decided to order a set in red to add to the Roush theme.

Ford OEM Modular Front Bumper w/ Brush Guards
I've always liked the Modular Steel Front Bumper and even had it on my original order before removing it to get the Bronco faster. So I'm glad that someone in my local area had one for sale. I had the dealer switch it out for me. Should be able to find this in your dealership parts department.
Rough Country Vertex Coilovers w/ Vertex Reservoir
I had the idea that I might want to upgrade my suspension and was going to go with the Bilstein shocks like the Sasquatch but after a conversation with our aftermarket manager I decide to get a little lift with a better shock with reservoirs. After using them at Moab, I'm happy with my decision. Watch the highlight video below.

IAG Rock Rail Steps V2 on Ford OEM Rock Rails
So after adding the Vertex Suspension, it was a struggle to get into the Bronco so I need a step but I wanted one that would attach to the factory rock rails. IAG has a couple great options, I like the steps versus the full boards. Watch the install video below.

Roll Bar Storage Bags
I saw these bags reviewed on Bird Dog Off Road Adventures and decided to get a set for my Bronco. I like the extra storage I get in an area that isn't used. Watch the install and review video below.

High Winch Mount w/ Rough Country 12000S Winch, Black Series w/ DRL White Lights
After doing some trails now, I'm ready to adventure the trails on my own. So I thought it might come in handy to have my own winch. I was going to get the Warn but I wasn't prepared to drop $2-3k so I went with a great one from Rough Country for a third of the cost and they have a mount that is pretty cool too. Watch the install video below.

IAG Rear Cupholders
After a trip to Moab with a rear passenger we realized rear cupholders would be nice. Ford doesn't provide any cupholders other than the nets in the rear doors. I added the IAG ones. Watch the install video below.

Rough Country Hitch & Ford Trailer Brake Controller
Well I decided that I wanted to camp in a little more luxury than a tent this year so I needed a hitch to pull it with since I didn't order the Tow Package from Ford. I saved some money and went with Rough Country but with Ford for the wiring and added the Ford Trailer Brake Controller as well. Watch the overview video below.

IAG I-Line 5 Lamp Bumper Indicator Light Kit
While at Bronco Super Celebration I was able to see these in person and immediately had to have them. If you have the Heavy Duty Modular Front Bumper, these lights fill in the opening great. They also plug right into the headlights.
