As the title says… also first time Ford & Bronco owner so just starting to get into the learning curve. My Bronco is a replacement for a daily driver that died and I’m looking forward to taking her offroad. Already heading down the path of “small mods” that are piling up, but hopefully halfway done. Just want lights (ditch, fog, roof bar) and skid plates (transmission and gas tank) and I should be done… 🤔😂

What @Jakob1972 said. Welcome to the Nation. Good looking buggy. Lots of great info on here and even a tad bit of Tom Foolery as well!

Yep, it’s got the Hoss in it… now I just need to see it run. 😃 I’m probly one of those who weren’t too particular with the color. I had my Bronco spec’d out the way I wanted it then my car died. There wasn’t any better reason to get the WT at that point. 😋 Was lucky there was one on the lot. It’s 3 weeks with me today and I just noticed my first windshield chip.

😂😂😂 The SO will hopefully remain blissfully unaware. 😅 Until I get more wheeling experience or join a really active group, the mods will probably stay as listed. I’m around Chicagoland and still need places to go to.

Only a couple of hours from you near Warsaw Indiana. If you are on Facebook, I would join the Chicagoland Bronco. They go down to the Badlands in Attica, IN quite a few times. They seem to have quite a few events going on throughout the summer.
Also a few from BN will be going to Bronco Takeover in Michigan. https://www.broncotakeover.net/
Love Silver Lake Dunes!

The windshield on these things are rock magnets. Might want to look at something like this

Thanks! I’ll check those out. I‘m guessing these are middle of the lane options and there are others out there.

You’re not too far out, then. Let me know if you’re out this way. And thanks for the FB info and the Bronco Takeover. Not sure if I’ll make it this year, but we’ll see.

Yes they are usual suspects, these are DIY installs but you can also find Xpel at your local wrap shop if you want someone else to install.

The other option, which should be obvious but isn’t always is to not follow anyone on the road too closely. Modifying your driving habits is also a “mod.” 😉

I typically don’t… the pebble still found me.

No accusation implied. 😉 It’s usually the boneheads on the road that cut you off or the ones that drift onto the shoulder that do the most damage! 😖

It’s all good. Meeting boneheads on the roads though, is a daily occurrence for me. 🫣
