What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

[‘21OBX]

Well yesterday but it got too dark for pictures. Installed the side marker and tailight overlays from sticker Fab.
installed the bush wacker trail armor/rocker guards(I should have spent the more $100 on ford ones) not thrilled with the fit/finish of the bushwacker set. Apparently neither is the company one logo missing and one half stuck on
Got the aero skin installed.
Received and plugged in the under seat ambient lights( I have some work ahead of me to make them sit flush)
Moved the OBX fridge magnet to the rear. Trimmed filled and 2 sided tape and install Bronco Graveyard Bronco scripts.
Installed the headlight switch with front and rear fog buttons. (I’m using it as a poor man’s upfitter switches) since the mid bumper didn’t come with fogs.
attempted to install the rough country hood strut kit and dropped a flag nut down inside the hood. Choice words were said now I have to go fishing or take the hood off and tiki it to retrieve the nut. Should have waited for the iag setup.
Tonight or tomorrow fuel tank skid install. Depending on how lazy I am tonight.

Thanks. I'm intrigued by their spray-on black stone guard paint for the same task.

Super toxic, and not for retail sale, so you know it's good. Haha! I got mine on eBay. Sometimes chemicals are hard to buy in CA.

Is this a Ford kit? Do you have a link or more info?

Ford parts but not a kit, I’m putting together a write up as I’ve swapped the under dash lights, added under seat and cup holder ambient lighting. Does require forscan, there are cheaper routes with stick On led’s but I wanted a factory look and operation. The under dash and seats are a cake walk mounting is already there(I had factory ambient lighting already.) the holders are in place under the seats.

I have seen some other posts about your under dash lights now that I am thinking about it. I will keep a look out for your write up because it would be nice to have a clean lighting solution.
Is there wiring required for under the seats, or is it plug and play?

I assume you would only have to do Forscan mods if you wanted to change the colors right?

Correct forscan if you want multi color. Wiring was needed.
I had a guy make the harness it was the most expensive part. I’m sure someone could help with the connector part numbers then it would be more economical. The harness I had made plugs inline with the drivers side light then fed thru the console and out under the seats.

How does that hood deflector mount? Just 3M tape like Ford’s?

Yup it avs aero skin there is a gap in the tape I’m not fond of where debris could sneak under it. I should have filled it in with more double sided tape. It isn’t going anywhere on its own that’s for sure.

Finally got it off the pavement. This is along Old NC Hwy 105 at the Linville Gorge.

Got the on-board air setup almost finished. Maryland spring got the better of me before I could finish wiring to the upfitter switch. Remote hookup mounted to the front crash bar mount on the passenger side.

What a great air connector placement! Nice work!

Tech tip! When you drop a flag nut inside the hood and listen in horror to it slide all the way to the back corner. Find a hill and a magnet on a wire.
finished installing the rough country hood strut kit. I think the struts are a bit too strong and it’s a lot of brackets.

All the hood struts that I have seen have the shock, fatter part, to the top, and the skinnier rod attaches to the engine compartment not the hood. Is that a different design? Who makes those ones?
