We recently kicked off our Bronco Nation Build Series –– our three-part selection of staff-favorite parts you can get to upfit your Bronco. Find the first set of recommendations in Accessorize Your Bronco for $500.
We’re back today with the next price point, $1,000, and like our $500 build, we’re coming in slightly under if you use your Bronco Nation member discount. In build math, that’s almost the equivalent of making money while buying parts, right?
The $1,000 Build: Everyday Enhancements Geared Toward Outside
Our $500 build gives you practical additions for daily driving and weekend warrioring. Double your investment, and you can begin customizing your Bronco toward time spent in the Great Outdoors … local Cars ‘n Coffee-style meet-ups and tailgating included.
First, think about getting some lights. Good lights open you up to better night trail runs, easier camp setup, and safely turning into your driveway, even. From there, add in some protection for you and your Bronco: door sill covers to prevent paint scratches from gravel-gathering boots, and recovery gear so you can get a vehicle moving safely. Finally, consider some convenience items. Door pockets will keep everyday gear in reach while navigating traffic and trails. Then, stay comfortable wherever you end up with a set of sturdy chairs and a camp table.
Don't forget, you can now redeem your FordPass Rewards Points in the Bronco Nation store. You have until 12/31/2024 to claim the offer.

What For, and Why Buy
Heretic Ditch Light Kit: $278.98*
Heretic’s lights are serious business. If you want to see everything, go with Heretic. The Bronco Nation’s Broncos have benefitted from the company’s fog lights, light bar, and ditch (A-pillar) lights. With them, you’ll be seeing in high definition, far and wide. Heretic Quattros are designed and assembled in the USA.
Rock Slide Engineering Bronco Front Door Pockets: $89.10*
If you’re an owner who values keeping original vehicle items nice, protect your door pocket netted bags from ripping and sagging by installing these metal pockets. If you’ve already lost yours due to use, RSE’s version will restore precious drink storage space. The powder-coated aluminum pockets are sturdy and keep their good looks under action.
Ford Performance Off-Road Recovery Kit: $117*
If you challenge yourself off-road, one day, you’re going to get stuck. Or you’re going to see someone else who is. Be prepared with the knowledge and basic tools that will get you or another driver moving. The Ford Performance Recovery Kit includes gloves, recovery strap rated up to 14,000 lbs., and WARN ¾ D-shackle rated up to 18,000 lbs. The bag keeps everything secure and easy to grab from the back of your Bronco.
ARB Pinnacle Camp Chair (two): $219.60*
These next picks should be kept in your Bronco season-round, if you have the space, so you’re ready for fun at a moment’s notice. From parking lots to the beach, these steel-framed chairs by off-road icon ARB will have you sitting comfy with extra wide soft touch armrests. On the back of the seat is a mesh pocket, and there’s a built-in side panel with a cup holder and additional pockets. Each chair comes with a carrying case with a shoulder pad on the straps.
ARB Pinnacle Camp Table: $139.50*
Where else are you going to balance the s’mores supplies if you don’t have a tailgate table? On the compact and collapsible ARB camp table, of course. The 44.9” x 27.5” tabletop can be height adjusted anywhere from 31” to 39” and each leg can be adjusted for stability to make food prep, playing games, and enjoying a meal easier.
Ford Performance Bronco Sill Plate Kit: $99*
Protect your front driver and passenger door sills from scratches and daily wear and tear with these durable black ABS plates. Two-door Bronco owners, please take note: This kit only fits 4-door Broncos. These were designed for the Bronco Raptor and are original equipment on it.
