Yes to white bronco emblem. I’m also a big fan of the cursive bronco script to replace the side badge, and that in white might look good too. Paint the door handles and rollbars and you’ve pretty much got the concept one you guys liked. I was a big fan of that look too and was disappointed when they didn’t actually sell it
I removed the Big Bend badges from my Bronco Sport. I felt they made it look cheap. I call them refrigerator magnets because that's about what they're worth. On the other hand, I relocated the Black Diamond Sasquatch badges on my 2023 Bronco because I wanted people to know it was a BD Sasquatch. I also added the retro script Bronco emblems in black on both sides. They look great IMO.
Hi Muzio family! Here are some of my thoughts: 1. The wheel rings look very nice power coated white, good call. 2. Yes, changing the bronco emblem to white would make it stand out and look even better. 3. Leaving the insulators off the d rings give it a cleaner look. The only problem would be forgetting to put them on when needed, maybe its safer to leave them on. 4. I thought the side Big Bend badges looked nice. If you decide to make the door handles white, the badge along with the white wheel rings would all compliment each other nicely. The bear casually walking by at the end of the video was a nice surprise! 😳
Great video! The one thing I would caution with those pinch weld covers is making sure you take them off periodically to clean out any dirt or road salt as it can trap moisture and contaminants in there which can corrode the weld.
The free mod of taking off the badges was a good call. I would also make the Bronco emblem on the tailgate white as there isn’t any other chrome besides on the lug nuts.
Great family video micah. One cool mod that i can think off that works both in safety and style is replacing the rear taillights with the OEM or OEM style LED.
That's going to be both near-impossible and extremely expensive, if it even is. Not only are the OE lights somewhere close to $700 a pop, but the wiring harness they use is different from the standard tail lights - there's a separate circuit for the turn signal, for starters, and I also believe the turn signals are "controlled" differently between the two designs (i.e. PWM vs. conventional voltage).
Mud guards are a MUST on all vehicles, period!! I see too many suv's and pickups on the road throwing up rocks and road debris and hitting the vehicle behind them. I live in suburbia too!
I also removed the badge from my Bronco. They look like fridge magnets so they had to go. Since you all are going with the white theme, maybe you should have the front grille painted white like press vehicle?
If you are going to do the white... lean into. Mudlap logo - white. Door handle covers - white. Side mirror caps - white. You already know that is an inspiration. Why not go all in and not mix colour schemes (orange)?
I have a '23 Bronco with grey tow hooks in the front. Just a reminder to use some Blue loctite on the bolts. Just makes it a bit harder for someone to use reg tools to steal...just a suggestion.
Maybe get the seatbelts in white or put a white zigzag pattern in the paint trim on door panel, power-coat the bronco logo in the back white and maybe make a white belt line on the bronco perhaps?
Great content keep it coming 👏 And by the way love the Bronco Perhaps a Bronco Raptor for you Mike???? I'm sure you can add another member to the family 😆
Best opener. The fact that most of us want to personalize our vehicle but, don't make my daily commute impossible. Nice work as always. My input, you need something on the sides to tie the white wheel rings in. The badge on the back would make a nice white application on the front quarters or, white mirror covers.With a White badge!
Change the tires those tires kick up a Lotta rocks. I switched mine to the Mickey Thompson, Baja boss, and it’s a huge difference. No more rocks flying up.
I really like the Bronco script badges many sites sell. They have vinyl versions that are pretty cheap, or metal ones that are more money, but the script Bronco badge is more in line with the old-school styling.
I was going to say that you haven't convinced me to make a single modification that you've made, but I *did* put on a set of WeatherTech mudflaps, which it really needs if you go off road much. The only other modification of any sort that I've made to my 2-door Base Sasquatch was a set of white BRONCO letter stickers for the grill from StickerFab. I don't like the black on black look at all, but really like how the base grill looks with white letters. I'm not big on modifications just for the sake of changing things. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Haven’t seen many videos on putting the D ring shackles on the plastic bumper that didn’t come with them. Would’ve loved to see a video on the conversion, but I do see the link, I’ll definitely be doing that! Great video thank you so much, still waiting for mine to get scheduled.
I spray painted my rings black for $15 and have gotten a lot of compliments. The white ring kinda looks like a white wall tire I'm a fan of blacked out wheels with the white trim, like the ford pre production model.
As a Wrangler owner I can agree that anything aiding with the removable tops makes you more inclined to use it. You could always powder the pinch weld cover to add white to the sides?
The IAG hood prop is great and an inexpensive mod that is real handy. I would swap the steps for the fender mount and loosely bolt the new bracket to the fender first to avoid pushing the new braket into the fender well, an issue a few people have had. Also, don't tighten the hood mount too tight, it will shear. Get some blue loctite and just snug it down. Well worth the addition. I didn't remove the hood prop, it is still there just in case.
I had a guy giving me crap because I’ve taken good care of my bronco and there’s zero trail rash on it and I keep it super clean. I told him the whole point of this thing having 35” tires, lockers, billstein off-road suspension is so I can go off-road AnYwhere reasonably and NOT damage it.
I think the Bronco logo on the tailgate should be the same white color as the other parts you have had painted. I think the fenders look much better without the Big Bend Sasquatch badges (Oh boy! You just showed thousands of people how easy they are to remove. Bronco owners beware! If yours go missing, you know who to blame 😲 LOL). I think the D-rings look better without the "plastic little insulator thingies". Bottom line: it's your vehicle, so do whatever makes you happy. Don't worry about what others may think (unless you live in California 🤣)
I don’t like the soft top simply because of how the back comes up and it limits access to the back. That’s personal preference though. I got my “rings” powdered coated black for $100 all 5 of them. I am going for the blacked out look with my velocity blue.
I have a Base so it didn't come with badges but I bought some "Bad Ass Edition" badges that look exactly like the Bad Lands Edition badges. Best $7 I ever spent.
Getting an Eruption Green sasquatch and I'm going bronze for the accents. But the idea is the same and for a few hundred bucks you can definitely do some cool personalization.
Get some matte white vinyl and put it on the door handles like car you’re emulating… you can see if you like that look n if you do you can wrap or paint it. For the front hooks take the rubber things off for sure. Wish you could have founded more squared off like the press car. I love cheap subtle visual mods too! You two also need your own easter egg stickers… i could see Censi hiding somewhere :)
The wheels got veneers 😂 …”Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges!” ……If you’re going to change the Bronco on the back it should be a Unicorn 🦄 and convince the youngest Muzio it was her idea
Great mods. I think the white wheel rings will make more sense when you add more white exterior trim parts. Maybe a white vinyl graphic element on the side. Or you can be bold and power coat the grille AND add the vinyl graphic!
I have a 2023 Bronco Black Diamond Sasquatch in Oxford white. Why the bucking bronco on the back is chrome is beyond me. I replaced it so that the entire vehicle is black ornaments on a white body.
Well-made video, U2 are actually very refreshing, very sharp. Your daughter needs a brother however! 😊 So i like all you have going except…. You gotta spend more on the shackles. The ones you have look cheap sorry I know because I bought those cheap ones and the more expensive gear America $100 shackles. After comparing both I sent the cheaper ones back. You’re spending thousands on the bronco so spend 40 more dollars for the nice shackles (without the rubber by the way). And….. I like the model decals. But maybe because I have a wildtrak. Lol. If I had a base, maybe not. I kept the wildtrak in its original place and put a Bronco script towards the front. Gads not the script!!! Well-made video, you have a lot of solid personality and your wife compliments well. Keep them coming.
I have a soft-top Outer Banks on order -- I will definitely be buying those top-lift assist struts. One mod y'all didn't mention was hood-struts. They're only $99 to $129 depending on which brand you buy, and they make opening the hood much easier. I plan to buy a set of those and install them as soon as I get my Bronco.
Do you find the front of the hood (and windshield) prone to chips and cracks? Would a deflector (like an Aeroskin II) help? I'm looking for some mud flaps too but hard to find ones that are smaller.
I like those mud flaps. Not sure about the debadging. I think I might be the only guy around that likes the new badging design. It just needs to be a hard emblem, not a sticker.
You said you were frugal and would only go on 😢 off-road, and that this was more of an every day driver if that was the case, you would not have gotten the Sasquatch package which isn’t needed, and a larger tires cost more and reduce your gas mileage.
I would really love to try whether the Wrangler 33” rigid spare tire cover would fit the Badlands 35” tire. Can you try it? Or if you could find a rigid cover for the bronco, please review it 🙏🏻 Thank you for the useful videos
I vote, YES! Powder coat the Bronco emblem white, too. 👍🏼👍🏼 Is it possible to make the door handles white? Didn’t you say in a prior video that you have the white hard top coming?
I think the side badging on the broncos was kinda lazily executed so taking it off definitely looks good. Making the bucking bronco on the back white would look dope.
Colossal cream asses lol says the guy with a helicopter parked next to his new bronco lol love it lol I’m a cheap ass too but maybe I should step it up if it means I can buy a helicopter lol I have a 2022 big bend edition so I’m looking for some cheap mods as well
Of all the issues and aggravating decisions Ford has had launching this vehicle(and since), not doing white top year one and that awesome “Nintendo” interior is what irks me the most.
Bought the same RokBlokz mud flaps you did for my Sasquatch - I'm disappointed in how much spray I still get off the front tires, especially given both the flap size (bought XL longs) and the cost. Probably the one mod I've made that I regret the most.
Looks good! I would take the black plastic guide off the D rings. I'd also paint the door handles white. I would also consider getting the 'hard roof' painted white.
Early congrats on your Bronco!! For our needs, the soft top worked perfectly fine during the winter. If we lived somewhere with hardcore winter we might be more eager to get a hard top with its greater insulation. But for the occasional snow and cold we experience, the soft top works well. Regarding power, I'm not interested in an aftermarket solution but I am curious about the upcoming Power Pack tune from Ford. I haven't found the 2.3L to be lacking but if the price is right I wouldn't mind a bit more oomph.
Spend money on truly superfluous things so you can follow the herd…and keep you frugal. Please do give an update in just 1 year regarding leaks and reliability.
I'm sorry, but white mudflats would be a maintenance disaster! Don't you hear yourself saying "I've got to take the flaps off so they don't get dirty?" Huh? And getting pinch weld covers sounds like someone is totally anal!
Hey guys, love your videos and have been subscribed for a few years now. One thing I have noticed is that it seems like Sensibird has been making more appearances and it feels awkward that you're swearing in front of your daughter in a "family" video. I just think it's unnecessary. My two cents. Still love your content and will continue watching! 🙂
That has to be the ugliest vehicle on the market today. I don't know what Ford is thinking these days, but I would never drive such a square ugly box. It's not the '70's (been there, done that) and it puzzles me why this is so popular AND EXPENSIVE. No thanks.
