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

Finally got around to installing my bird nest inhibitor device. The birds were building nests faster than I could remove the debris.

Industrious little buggers. Once they decide on a spot for their new home, they will not stop!

I had to build small triangles on my front porch pillars because they would not stop building on them.

Here comes the big mod: Gave the windows a shot of windex.

Over the winter I snagged a Gently used Kuat Sherpa 2.0. This week I gave it a wipe down, a spray of silicone lube, and modified the extensions “anti-rattle”. Threw one of the two bikes on the back and went for a short drive to a nearby park for a test lap.

The rack was sturdy, and effortless. No more breaking down bikes and trying to Tetris them into the 2DR. The 700c on this Roadhouse would barely fit, and the new 29er certainly wouldn’t.

10/10 on the ease of use and general build quality!

When loading up with two bikes, the one closest to the truck will need it’s handlebars spun 90° to avoid contact with the tire rack/rotopax

And gutters too!. The nest is not really the problem for me, it's the bird $#!t all over the place. We have swifts that build the mud nests.

Took the hardtop off for the first time in 2024. 41 degree drive to the beach this morning for a dog walk/run.

Reminds me of my boy Elmer he used to love Bronco rides

Nice I've got a Sherpa 2.0 attached to the Pivot 2. Great setup.

I hit 5k on the odometer.

Amsoil for everything.

Changed engine oil and filter. The 4k mile old Pennzoil Platinum looked black as under the bed. Shockingly dark. I thought about grabbing an oil sample but didn't.

Changed front differential fluid. Looked fine. I do not have 4A, so haven't used the front differential a ton.

Changed transfer case fluid. Also looked pretty good.

Rear differential fluid was nasty and full chunks of what appeared to be threadlocker.

I highly, highly recommend changing the rear differential fluid very early for the first interval.

Then did a rotation. Thank God the Bronco has a TPMS sensor in the spare. My Ranger does not.

Finished my pullout kitchen and mounted a MagSafe charger so I can FaceTime while driving…

Did you buy the oil directly from Amsoil or???. And what weight did you put in the diffs and TC? I’m getting close to 2k miles and my first oil change, may do the rear diff too, only because of what you found.

Direct from Amsoil. I pay for their membership, which gives 25% off. It pays for itself since I have quite a few cars I maintain.

75W-90.

TC is D6 ATF.

Over the course of the last week I installed the @GearShade 2dr L7 sub box with a kicker key 500.1. I missed bass from my previous vehicle so much, and love the way this rounds out sound!!

That stripe looks amazing !

I wish I had more friends that could take time off to go play - they're all stuck working on Friday.

Anyone in Utah want to come out to 5 Mile pass?

I have cookies

Ok, I like stripes. What stripe?

Took my bike and my Bronco to the Tail of the Dragon (US 129) over the weekend and got on Killboy’s highlights!

Darryl “Killboy” Cannon is the original photographer out there. I’ve met him several times. He and his wife Lori are great people.

Hoping for Darryl to capture my updated Luna when I go to SCE. Usually only run the upper part of The Dragon back to the Foothills Pkwy, but intend to hit Deals Gap and run The Dragon in it's entirety.
