Lift Kit 

First up, we have the 2" M1 Loaded Strut Lift Kit. This bad boy provides a two-inch lift to the Bronco, giving it a more aggressive stance without sacrificing ride quality. It's loaded with bells and whistles, like N3 nitrogen-charged struts. Plus, it gives the Bronco plenty of room to run 35-inch Venom Power Terra Hunter RT tires, which add an additional 2 inches of lift.

Rock Sliders

Next up on Gaston's upgrade list were Rock Sliders, a much-needed addition for protecting the rocker panels and doors of the Bronco. Not only do they offer superior protection, but the top of the slider also doubles as a step, making it a breeze to hop in and out of your Bronco. And let's not forget their aesthetic appeal - these Rock Sliders add a touch of ruggedness and style to your off-roading machine.

Nudge Bar

Gaston created a convenient mounting spot for 3.5-inch round LED lights by adding a Rough Country Nudge Bar. This bar comes with a sleek black powder finish, providing extra protection against unexpected bumps and adding a rugged and off-road-ready appearance to the front of the Bronco.

Lights

He installed a 40" Upper Windshield LED Light Bar and Ditch Mounted LED Lights to ensure maximum visibility during those nighttime off-roading excursions. The Upper Windshield LED Light Bar looks menacing mounted above the windshield and is incredibly bright, capable of lighting up even the darkest trails. And just in case the Bronco finds itself in a tight spot, the Ditch Mounted LED Lights will help navigate any treacherous terrain and avoid unwanted accidents.

Spare Tire Delete

Gaston added a Spare Tire Delete for several reasons. First, it improves the departure angle on the trail, making it easier to navigate through rugged terrain. Second, it gives the rear of the Bronco a sleek and clean look, elevating its appearance to the next level. Finally, he could save on expenses without compromising performance by eliminating the need for a fifth wheel and tire.

Overall, Gaston managed to upgrade the Bronco under the $5,000 budget. A personalized Bronco that's ready to take on the toughest trails out there. So, if you're looking to upgrade your ride without breaking the bank, take some tips from Gaston. He's proven that with a bit of know-how and some Rough Country parts, you can create an off-roading machine that's uniquely yours.
