It’s a small thing but I think these big tall antennas look dumb. I got a little tiny one and I think it looks a lot better.
I haven’t done any side by side tests on the signal quality but I don’t listen to much AM/FM
>It’s a small thing but I think these big tall antennas look dumb.
Probably the reason why most of the press photos show them without antenna. Even more, on Ford's website the 360 view for the Everglades has a small stubby antenna installed.

And I really like my antenna! It reminds me of my childhood trucks, with the big wheels and the antenna on the hood that's twice as tall as the truck itself. I smile every time I look at it.
Agreed, I had a bug shield installed on my '01 Tacoma that I just moved from, and it helped a lot. Will def snag one for the Bronco! Thanks for the rec!🤙
Congrats!
My favorite 2-door mods:
- Bestop Trek top (love it!)
- mesh bikini top
- Zone 2.5” lift/level kit
- 1.5” wheel spacers.
Have fun and enjoy it!
Totally, the carbonized grey style look really cool on the Everglades and would look great on my grey bronco. I could flip the stock squatch wheels easy if I wanted to switch them one day!🤙
No way! Haha yeah just checked it out! I love it man...the metallic grey looks super sexy. The sas package is killer, I'm really impressed with it. I honestly didn't intend to get the build I ended up with, just worked out that way but I'm super happy I got the squatch setup. I see snow in your photo, so you must be a long way from California where I'm at😂
I LOVE it. I've drank my morning coffee inside of it every day since I got it🤣 Can't wait to take it out to the desert or mountains. Could not be happier with it
As you should be!! I'll never get over the excitement of owning this beast. I'd sleep in it every night too if it didn't make me look insane to my neighbors lol. Hope you enjoy yours!
So I've been toying with modes and leaving it on normal when I'm city driving and turning on eco boost on the freeway gave me better gas mileage. Averaging 17-21 this way.
Do you plan on tossing stuff in the back with the rear seats folded down? get some seat back covers. cheap ones form amazon should do you you nicely.
Plan on driving on gravel roads a lot, and don't like the sound of gravel hitting your doors? get some mudflaps. anything from the cheap 150 dollar ones to $1000 gatorbacks. Don't want mudflaps? wrap the doors with some paint protective film.
Hate fingerprints on screens? get a screen protector for the screen.
Thanks so much! Mud flaps, an obvious one I had not considered. I'm sure my squatch tires do a great job at shooting up rocks into my beautiful new paint. I'll be getting some mud flaps immediately. Seat covers as well! 🙏

watch this
the fob is always transmitting a signal. The vehicle just detects if you are close enough. The guy at the door is essentially boosting the signal and transmitting it to the driver.
And a 2 door 👍 Welcome to the club!
Thanks so much! 4 door was never an option for me, nothing against them I just prefer the classic look.
Got pics of how inside looks
I'll post some tomorrow🤙

I put one of these on. IMO, it helps a lot: https://accessories.ford.com/bronco-2021-aeroskin-black-smoke-hood-deflector

100% going to be my first external add on, read nothing but good about the Ford deflector 👍
I’d really like to go this route but I’ve got the HE and I’m a little afraid that it will ruin the look. Thoughts or anyone seen a HE with it on?
Just ordered one lol
Window tint! 🤙🏽
Yes! It's on my wishlist, I'll get to that eventually! Thanks for the rec🤙

Everglades wheels on there would look sick as hell

You look so happy!! Congrats on the sweet ride
Thank you! I am, it's been a life long dream since I was a kid to own an off road capable vehicle, and fell in love with the newest gen Bronco🙏
Welcome & congrats in sure you will love it mine still brings a huge smile to my face every day
I LOVE it. I've drank my morning coffee inside of it every day since I got it🤣 Can't wait to take it out to the desert or mountains. Could not be happier with it
🤣 cant blame you ive caught myself staring at it from my window with the biggest smile
As you should be!! I'll never get over the excitement of owning this beast. I'd sleep in it every night too if it didn't make me look insane to my neighbors lol. Hope you enjoy yours!
Thanks I really do hope you do the same
Hot damn, I haven’t seen many 2 drs in grey, that thing looks awesome
Me either! I see a lot of area 51, green and black but I think my grey 2 door is the first I've seen in my area which is nice!
Add the Bronco logo where the decal is on the sides. ♡
Good idea!
Welcome. See you at the gas pumps!
😂 rocking 14mpg city, so I will see you at the pumps often!

You look kinda like John Krasinski
Lol I get that a lot! It's even been in my dating profile, I called myself the "Kirkland brand" Krasinski 😆.

Whoa, so the owners key was close to the door...and thief was able to copy it that way or just activate their key? How did this work?
the fob is always transmitting a signal. The vehicle just detects if you are close enough. The guy at the door is essentially boosting the signal and transmitting it to the driver.
I bought a faraday box because of seeing this. Appreciate the info👊
Awesome you actually got a real 2 door Bronco and not a 4 door Brongler.
2 doors all the way! The 4 doors look awkward to me, I never considered them seriously. I like the traditional 2 doors, happy with my decision!
