Added some sound deadening to the doors. Huge difference in the sound when they are closed.will do back panels and floors later.

Good to know this. Thank you! Did you add the blue and silver stuff? Or just the blue? Now I have another project.

I did both the blue and silver the blue to get rid of the tinny sound and the other helps with sound transfer.

Built a Hi-Lift mount for my Turn Offroad Tire Carrier! Thanks @Turn Offroad for giving us the provision to do such things!

This is great. Nice work.

Installed some shock skids from Lobo for my Wildtrak. IIRC only 2 brands made them, Lobo and Foutz.

Finally got around to putting the front / mid panels on the wall since they won't be going on the ride any time soon. There's a perfect spot on the left for two doors, even.

Looks like we have a little rain coming in the area throughout next week, so I'm going to wait for the door until that passes.

Filled up the gas tank and got a car wash. The weather this weekend looks to be pretty nasty.

Day two of prep for Ceramic Coating…
Cant wait till its all finished…

Installed the ford windshield frame covers. I had a friend wrap the frame in matte black first. Without the wrap I would have just tossed them. They might work okay on a dark colored Bronco as is, but the fit is barely acceptable, and on a light vehicle it would not look good in my opinion.

Finally installed the new headlight switch w/ fog light button and activated the fog lights with FORScan.

Also, picked this up!

Very happy how good it looks today completed now!! Might try shaving in the mirrored finish as well!
also added Door Sill protectors to help save paint from scratching…

I'm going in gals and guys...

- Transmission filter and fluid change + PPE deep transmission pan is the main objective today.

-------------------------------------

If time today (if not during the weekend):

- Transfer case fluid change

- Rear axle fluid change (I need to pull my Ford Performance cover to drill and tap for a temperature probe, so I'll reinstall the stock cover temporarily).

- Engine oil and filter change

I will create a detailed post as per usual when completed with the transmission work.

Is there a reason you are that concerned with rear diff fluid temps enough to put a probe in?

Yep; the D44 Advantek under our Bronco is the exact same one (except for mounts) that is under the Wrangler. Here is the rear axle temperature at 75MPH UNLOADED at 95°F ambient temperatures with stock 33" tires and stock 4.10 gearing, just driving down the highway in the 2019 Wrangler that I sold to get into a Bronco.

I could easily push that to 240°F or higher when loaded or towing.

Finished the installation of my Midland MXT275 GMRS radio. I used the Mountains 2 Metal mounting bracket to install it behind the glove box. Still waiting on my IAG Molle bracket for the passenger side of the console. That's where I'll hang the handset. For now I just have it laying in console cubby. I mounted the antenna on the passenger side rear of the hood. I may change it later to the mounting area by the mirror. Since I don't have the accessory switches I ran it direct to the + side of the battery, fused of course. I will be getting a switch to be able to switch the power off/on. Sorry for the dirty vehicle. Gotta love living in the South with the pollen!
