So, after about 4 weeks of Bronco ownership, I decided it was time to personalize my Bronco.

I started by taking it to my local Ford dealership to have them add:
Roof rails and crossbar (important note - this was not available as a "kit" from the dealer. It had to be ordered as parts (to the tune of $2,400) and took about 6 weeks for everything to arrive. :(
Rear storage drawer system
Console safe
Tailgate tray

Next it was time to put some proper wheels and tires on so I went to the guys at 4 Wheel Parts and had them add:
2.5" Coilover lift
Upper control arms
Rear traction bar

As for the wheels, I really wanted to keep the OEM offset (positive 55mm) so once again I called my Ford dealership to find out what options they had. As it turned out, they had a set of 18" black machined alloy wheels (factory take-offs)
from a 2019 Ranger (18x8; +55 offset). I picked those up, drove over to Discount Tire, and had them put on some 285/75 r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

I'm so excited about the way it turned out. Looking forward to getting off-road.

Oh yeah, I also decided to create a custom leveling platform for my gear (plywood. pvc pipe and some carpet). I've found it really helps to load, unload and manage all of my gear. I'll also be using it as a sleeping platform.

Next in line is some off-road lighting!

When you get a chance, could you take a pics of the Console safe. I’ve seen what the top looks like but not sure of the insides and how much it holds. I heard its big enough for a pistol

Ha, very cool! Thanks for sharing. The wheels and tires certainly made a HUGE difference to the look and feel of the Bronco. Love it!

I forgot to mention on this console safe; the opening is a bit smaller than the original opening because of the locking mechanism but it doesn't feel like much space was lost inside. It seems like it will hold a lot!

yeah, with your shot, it seems the opening is lost a little, but still looks pretty good. I'll go ahead and get one

I am curious on your rear decking, did you remove the rear seats or build any kind of support on top of the rear seats when they are folded down? Or does the plywood just extend out from the security drawer and rest on the seat backs?

The rear seats are simply folded down. With the decking sitting on top of the security drawer there is about a 1 1/2 to 2" difference over the front section of the folded down seats so I simply added some PVC pipe upfront to the bottom of the plywood to

Unfortunately, the stock/rims tires are now taking up space in the corner of my garage. I haven't decided what to do with them......
create a level front support.

Here is a shot of the underneath of the platform deck over the seat which shows the gap that I filled with a PVC pipe as support....

No, there were a number of items that were added after I received the Bronco. I ordered them and had them installed at my local Ford Performance dealer; the security drawer, roof rails, console safe, and the tailgate tray
