The Ford Bronco is an impressive off-road vehicle, but several upgrades can make it even better. They can enhance your Bronco’s capabilities while making it uniquely yours.
With all of the upgrade options out there, it may be hard to choose. That’s why we put together this list of the best Ford Bronco Upgrades.
Pro-e Electric Running Boards
Adding running boards to your Bronco makes it easier to get in and out, especially if you’ve lifted your vehicle. They also add a sleek look to your ride. But running boards can also stick out, creating a hazard when driving your vehicle or ruining the looks. That’s why we developed our Pro-E Electric running boards:
They extend and retract automatically, so they are there when you need them, but don’t change the look of your Bronco. Plus, they are easy to install, as shown in this video above.
Spare Tire Mount
Spare tire mounts just look cool. However, they also provide important benefits for your Bronco, including ensuring your spare tire is secure and easy to get to if you have a flat. For vehicles where the spare tire is mounted inside the vehicle, having an external spare tire mount can also add more space for camping gear and other necessities.
Brush Guard With Winch Mount Bumper
A brush guard combined with a winch mount bumper protects your Bronco’s front end from debris while offering a secure place to attach a winch. It also gives your vehicle a more rugged look. This combination is perfect for off-road adventures where you might need to clear obstacles or assist in vehicle recovery – check out the brush guard here.
Cargo Management System
When you’re stocking up on off-road necessities, keeping your gear organized and secure is vital. A cargo management system helps you make the most of your Bronco’s storage space, ensuring everything has a secure place.
LED Light Bar
Lighting is essential for off-road driving at night. A double-row LED light bar provides a bright, widespread light, ensuring you can see the trail clearly. It’s a popular upgrade for those who frequently drive in low-light conditions.
Recovery Equipment
Having the right recovery equipment is critical for off-roading or when you’re miles in the middle of nowhere. This equipment includes items like recovery straps, shackles, and off-road winches. Recovery winches are particularly important, as they can pull your vehicle out of tough spots.
Heavy Duty Winch
When off-roading, a heavy-duty winch can be a lifesaver. It allows you to pull your vehicle out of tough spots or help others in need. When installing a heavy-duty Superwinch, the most common location is on the front bumper. However, you can also choose to mount a winch on your rear bumper or go with a portable winch.
Portable winches are particularly versatile, but it’s essential to understand their pros and cons.
Pros of Portable Winches:
- Flexibility: Can be used on multiple vehicles.
- Easy to store: Takes up less space when not in use.
- Lightweight: Easier to handle and install.
Cons of Portable Winches:
- Lower capacity: Generally, less powerful than mounted winches.
- Less stability: Can be harder to secure in place.
- Requires setup: Takes time to install when needed.
Fender Liners
Like the skid plates below, fender liners protect your Bronco from damage – in this case, the wheel wells from mud, water, and debris. They are particularly useful in harsh off-road conditions where your tires kick up a lot of material.
Skid Plates
Skid plates protect your vehicle’s undercarriage from damage when traversing rocky or uneven terrain (learn more here). They are essential for serious off-roaders because they protect critical components like the engine, transfer case, and gas tank. Check out our selection of skid plates here.
Wheel Well Liners
Like fender liners, wheel well liners offer protection for your Bronco’s wheel wells. They keep dirt and debris away from sensitive areas and also enhance your vehicle’s look.
