WHAT DOES YOUR BUILD NEED?

Start with the way you want your Jeep or Bronco to look, drive and work. These four upgrade categories can stand alone or come together as a complete build.

ARMOR + RECOVERY

ARMOR + RECOVERY

PROTECT THE IMPORTANT STUFF.

What it changes: Aftermarket bumpers can add stronger recovery points, better approach or departure clearance, added protection and a secure place to mount a winch.

Know your options:

  • Full-width bumpers provide more corner coverage.
  • High-clearance and narrower designs create more room around the tires.
  • Steel prioritizes strength; aluminum reduces added weight.
  • Winch-ready does not always mean every winch fits.

Check before ordering: Confirm your exact year, model and trim. Look for compatibility with parking sensors, cameras, factory fog lights, skid plates and the winch size you plan to run.

Common pairings: Winch, recovery points, skid protection and bumper-mounted lighting.

SIDE PROTECTION + ACCESS

SIDE PROTECTION + ACCESS

STEP UP. SLIDE OVER.

What it changes: This category can make the vehicle easier to enter, protect the rocker panels from trail damage or do both.

Know your options:

  • Running boards and side steps prioritize daily access.
  • Rock sliders prioritize protection and ground clearance.
  • Slider steps combine a usable step surface with trail protection.
  • Frame-mounted designs transfer impacts into the frame instead of the body.

Check before ordering: Verify two-door or four-door fitment, mounting method, step width and whether the product is designed to support the vehicle during trail contact.

Common pairings: Front and rear bumpers, rocker armor and entry lighting.

STANCE + CLEARANCE

GET THE SETUP RIGHT.

What it changes: Suspension changes stance, wheel travel and room for larger tires. The right setup can improve trail clearance without making the vehicle unpleasant to drive every day.

Know your options:

  • A leveling setup mainly corrects the factory nose-down stance.
  • A suspension lift raises the body and chassis, but does not raise the differentials.
  • Larger tires increase ground clearance beneath the axles.
  • Portal axles raise drivetrain components and add gear reduction as a more advanced upgrade path.

Check before ordering: Lift height can affect alignment, steering, CV angles and suspension geometry. Confirm shock length, control-arm requirements, wheel offset, tire clearance and whether recalibration is needed.

Common pairings: Wheels and tires, adjustable control arms, corrected bump stops and an alignment.

UTILITY + VISIBILITY

BUILD FOR HOW YOU USE IT.

What it changes: Utility upgrades solve specific problems: seeing farther after dark, safely carrying a heavier spare or organizing gear without filling the cabin.

Know your options:

  • Fog, driving and scene lights create different beam patterns.
  • Tailgate reinforcement supports added spare-tire weight.
  • A tire carrier moves that load to a dedicated structure.
  • Roof racks and MOLLE systems add storage without permanently packing the cargo area.

Check before ordering: Plan wiring and switch capacity, confirm legal lighting use, check rear-camera clearance and stay within vehicle, tailgate and roof-load ratings.

Common pairings: Auxiliary switches, wiring harnesses, cargo mounts and tailgate limiters.

PUT IT TOGETHER

THREE WAYS TO BUILD IT RIGHT.

Not sure which upgrades belong together? Start with the type of vehicle you want to end up with. These aren’t rigid stages—they’re proven combinations you can install together or build toward over time.

01
CLEAN + CAPABLE

THE DAILY-DRIVEN BUILD

Ideal for owners who want their Jeep or Bronco to look noticeably better, work harder and remain comfortable for everyday driving.

Core setup

  • Functional side steps or slider steps
  • Front bumper or bumper upgrade
  • Practical street and trail lighting
  • Wheels and tires suited to daily use
  • Recovery points

Why it works

This combination improves access, protection, visibility and appearance without making the vehicle difficult to park, drive or live with.

Don’t overlook

Added bumper weight, sensor compatibility, tire clearance and where recovery equipment will be mounted.

02
TRAIL READY

THE WEEKEND TRAIL BUILD

Built for owners who drive during the week but want real protection and recovery capability when the pavement ends.

Core setup

  • Winch-ready front bumper
  • Properly rated winch
  • Frame-mounted rock sliders
  • Modest suspension lift
  • Larger tires with correct clearance
  • Full-size spare support
  • Trail-focused lighting

Why it works

Armor protects the vulnerable areas, recovery equipment provides a way out and the suspension and tire setup improve clearance where it matters.

Don’t overlook

Control-arm geometry, wheel offset, alignment, winch capacity and the additional weight placed on the factory tailgate.

03
FULLY DIALED

THE COMPLETE BUILD

A more complete setup for owners who want protection, recovery, storage and vehicle utility working as one system.

Core setup

  • Front and rear armor
  • Winch and recovery equipment
  • Slider steps or rock sliders
  • Suspension and supporting geometry
  • Larger spare with reinforcement or tire carrier
  • Roof or MOLLE storage
  • Driving, fog and scene lighting

Why it works

Every part has a defined job, and the vehicle is equipped for daily driving, longer trips and more demanding trail use.

Don’t overlook

Total vehicle weight, payload, roof-load limits, wiring capacity and compatibility between products from different systems.
