What Off Road add-ons will you chose?

I think I'm going to add the tailgate table and add the running boards to make climbing in easier!

Does it help the dealer to order Ford Accessories through them, or should I just order it online and get it shipped directly to me because it makes no difference?

Mine will be more for overloading and less for pure rock crawling/off-roading... but here is my list so far:

• Air compressor
• 35" tires (ordered non-Sasquatch)
• Beadlock rings
• Radio—last time I overlanded CB radio and HAM radios were "the thing" to use. Now it seems like the go-to is GMRS... so I'll have to educate myself on that.
• All of the usual camping gear
• All of the various add-ons to make my old Yakima racks work with the newer Bronco.
• Basic recovery gear—kinetic rope, some soft shackles, etc.
• The long-term goal: Expedition or teardrop trailer such as the Escapod or something by Turtleback Trailers. I may even build my own—haven't decided yet. Or I may decide to do a rooftop tend and abandon the trailer altogether. Need to get a feel for the Bronco before I make any decisions about what I want.

No immediate plans for extra lights or a winch, but if I find I need some in the future I'll add them.

It usually helps you by ordering through the dealer. If you have it shipped to the dealer typically shipping is free—important for some of the bulkier items. If you ship to your house the shipping costs can get pricey.

IF you want to use your fordpass rewards, you’ll have to go to the dealership to use them.

I would like to add a wInch too! Not sure how a wench would help a Bronco get over a rock.

Im new to Broncos and off roading. A reformed import guy here. Starting small with slightly bigger tires on my steelies, tailgate table, radio systems, tent/camping quip. Eventually I will lift and go crazy post warranty. Was excited to welcomed warmly even as a noob with no knowledge. Excited to learn to wheel

How's the Mrs. feel about being called a Wench? Hope she likes the ride...LOL!!!!

Mix and match with skid plates probably from factory and arb, maybe metalcloak, etc.
No wench, and no winch right away.....
Fox coilovers, control arms, 37s, other changes potentially depending on geometry or if I just want to upgrade to HD stuff.
1 car seat base and a toddler seat for the back..........

Lights, rockslider/step, might do a winch so looking at AM bumpers. My off-roading will be mostly mud or dirt roads.

Hey 151 G, is the BD a 2dr and what color? Are you going to do any tie-rod upgrades with the 37’s?
