  Bronco Upgrades, Day One: Tires That Tame Every Terrain

  There’s something magical about your first day with your Ford Bronco—whether it’s a brand-new model straight from the dealership or a late-model beauty you’ve been dreaming about for years. The fresh paint gleams under the sun, and the unmistakable hum of the engine invites adventure. But before you head out on your maiden voyage, there’s one upgrade that every Bronco owner should consider on Day One: tires. Swapping your Bronco’s factory or worn tires for a set tailored to your lifestyle and driving needs can transform your vehicle from capable to unstoppable.

  Over the next few months, we’re going to explore some of the best mods for that first day, and while there are far more used Broncos on the market than new ones, we’re creating this series for any new Bronco owner.

  So, why tires? Well, for starters, they’re your Bronco’s first and most essential point of contact with the world. They dictate everything from handling and comfort to traction and safety. Chances are, the tires on your “new” Bronco are fine, or have a bit of wear, but neither is optimized for specialized tasks like rock crawling, deep mudding, or snowy trails (Or, let’s be honest, giving you the stance you really want). Replacing them with aftermarket tires on Day One ensures your Bronco is equipped to tackle the challenges you’ll face and sets the foundation for all future modifications.

Here at Stage 3 Motorsports, we built one up a few years ago for overlanding, and we loved it. Well built, smartly designed, and it was obvious the engineers on the Tremor development team had done their homework to produce a great truck for off road adventures. But how does it stack up against a standard 4WD F-150? Is it worth the extra cost, or can you build a comparable off-road machine with the help of Stage 3 Motorsports? Let’s break it down and help you decide whether the Tremor package fits your needs or if building your own off-road rig makes more sense.

  The Unsung Hero of Engine Performance: Air Oil Separators for EcoBoost and Coyote Engines

  When it comes to protecting your Ford engine and ensuring peak performance, the Air Oil Separator (AOS) often doesn’t get the attention it deserves. For turbocharged EcoBoost engines, an Air Oil Separator is almost a necessity. While naturally aspirated 5.0 and 5.2 Coyote motors may also see some benefits, the advantages are particularly pronounced for forced induction setups. Let’s explore why these small but mighty devices matter, focusing primarily on EcoBoost engines.
