Just as the title says, what new or different products would you like to see offered for your Bronco? We have a lot of great vendors and talented members here that may get some new ideas for products.

Three off the top of my head are:

1) Rubber/vinyl floor mat like OEM

2) Stroppe style steering wheel with foam padding

3) Rocker panel trim - like OEM or solid billet aluminum

1.A brushed stainless steel tailgate lip protector.
2. A vertical stabilizer for the OE swing away spare tire carrier like later big Broncos and Bronco IIs had.
3. Full specs for springs, so we don't have to guess at rates or harmonics.

Softer door weatherstripe. So you don't have to slam the doors to get them latched.%)%)

... 1ST THING I thought of was ..Just better Quality door rubbers . That can seal stay in place & you can shut your doors with.
... & New bolt in place, Inside the door.. Cheaper about 45.00 each. ELECTRIC Window Motors . Course switches & wiring would have to be sold separately.

Sport chrome for the dash and drip rail. And some new soft doors for inserts that are two piece and mount flush with he outside of the insert instead of set in 6 inches. Also soft doors for the whole door opening like use to be sold

A low profile dual plane intake manifold for a 302, made to fit a spread bore carburetor. That way you wouldn't need the goofy adapter to install a Quadrajet carb.
Come on Chuck! You're good with this stuff. Everyone doesn't want fuel injection.;)

Maybe an aluminum 16 or 17 inch x8 rim that appears as a stock steel rim.
After market air cleaner made close or similar to the v8 Broncos.
Closer to original Cactus Smasher.

I think this intake is out there.....
Was it Offenhauser or Weiand.....?
I thought somebody made this though so you didn't have to run the converter plate for your Quadrajet. Hmmmm....thats going to drive me batty until I remember who it was.
I remember one thing about it though.....it wasn't terribly common....

An extended fiberglass half cab and bulkhead.

Something like some members have made with cutting and welding a full top. Maybe a 2nd version covering over rear seat area Similar looking to a H2 SUT.

I think it would be nice to see vacuum formed 1/2 and full tops. Like my undercover bed cover. I think they would be lighter and cheaper than what is available.

X2 on Quick release stock rear seat
A better fit and seal soft top comparable to the fit and quality of the newer Heeps. The tops that are offered to us aren't that much better then ones offered 20 + years
