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

[heelyeah]

Installed the Roush exhaust on my 2.3 MT. Sounds great. Not too loud...good low tone. Increase in hp was noticeable (only got up to 3rd gear in the neighborhood). Didn’t have an issue with the interior noise either. Also installed the Curt trailer hitch since I knew the bumper was coming off.

My comments/lessons:
- Did everything by myself other than put the bumper back on
- Removing the old muffler and bumper was very manageable by myself while laying on the ground underneath
- Invest in the rubber hanger pliers. ~$20
- Definitely grease the hanger before trying to remove the old muffler
- I don’t have sensors but still had to disconnect a wire on the driver side (license plate light)
- Did not have to remove spare tire or open the rear door
- All in, it easily took less than 2 hours (took my time)

I tried to post a video but it was too large so apologies. If someone is interested, please explain how to best do it and I will try a different way.

I second all of your comments about the hanger. I did not have the pliers, so getting those removed was the hardest step by far. Could not have done it without a spray bottle of soapy water.

Great mod. I've really enjoyed it on mine.

Same here

For anyone thinking of going with Roush, I found it for $894 (cheaper than everyone else) on Amazon. Delivered in less than a week.

FINALLY got the rubbing issue taken care of. Cranked as much positive caster in as possible and it no more rubbing the rear crash bar mounts.

I installed the underground graphics window decals

I had a busy day today as I installed stickerfab.com front glow in the dark letters. Then I installed fog lights in my standard bumper and last but not least a pair of Trux ditch lights.

I took off the front roof panels for the first time (picked it up yesterday) and drove with the windows down. Loved it! Can't wait to get the whole roof off!

Also installed the few accesories I allowed myself to order before delivery. Fast Intentions door sill. protectors, Mabett console tray and trunk storage space liner. Happy with all of them!

Took out the rear seats in preparation for camping season and to haul our 2 dogs in. I'm not doing anything fancy to cover the bolts up. I'm going to pick up a stall mat that's used for horses and cut it to fit the contour.

They look like the Mcgards. I just put those on today with the lockers.

I removed my seats as well and was going to use a stall mat but I decided to use three-quarter inch 2 x 2 foam mat like you put on a workout room I got them from Walmart works well for me

Also installed single bolt hoops for tie downs
Worked well!

I also disconnected the rear seatbelts and stored them behind the side panels.

Couldn't totally remove them because it gives a warning light on the dash.

Looks good. I might have to take a look at those mats and see if they will withstand the dog nails. I tucked my seat belts under the rubber floor for now.
