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

[dpAtlanta]

I installed the AutoStop Eliminator today.
Their video specific to the Bronco made it a no brainer and quite quick & easy to do.
I watched their 5:41 minute video twice to put it to memory which took about twelve minutes............. the installation took less than that.

Of course, no mechanical installation or repair is complete without at least a little bit of blood:

You need more force to pull a few of the panels off than it shows in the video... but it's all good, because the pull direction is correct, so no broken parts.

I learned a long time ago that the first rule in auto repair after you open the hood is to turn your head away from the vehicle, place your hand in the engine compartment and begin flailing it around until you are bleeding. One exception however, if it is warm outside, place your hand in ice water for 15 minutes, then place your hand in the engine compartment... begin flailing.

Took advantage of the beautiful weather and visit my mom’s grave site up in the boonies.

Was gonna get my new wheels and 37’s installed today but FedEx decided to shit the bed and only deliver 3 of 5 wheels and 4 of 5 tires. So annoyed but the weather and drive turned that frown upside down.

Decided to climb some stairs.

Just a small thing. Dropped in a Pelican V700 in my 2-door. There's an entire thread here on those; it fits perfectly and tidies up all those small, stupid things that normally float around in the back. And can be locked, for top-off Summers.

Every Prime Day I'm freshly tempted to buy one of those. It's a heck of a deal when it hits $130.

I got my Badlands takeoffs swapped in for my OEM Big Bend wheels. Not a huge mod, but I think it looks a lot better for now.

First addition - Curt hitch receiver. Despite the videos telling me I didn't need to remove the bumper, it had to come off for the install to work.

What pods do you have mounted below the bumper? Are they mounted to the crash bar stubs?

Installed some new JRI shocks and RPG billet control arms.. gave it a little lift and leveled it out quite a bit. Had a lot of rake after the front bumper and winch

I have KC flex era 3 duel modes. I used a bracket that attached to the underside of the modular bumper.

Miles? Do you have any guesses as to the why of the wear pattern?

I have a post with it. 18,790 miles. I wheel, there is mud. I think the springs breaking excelerated it.

Was the bracket DIY or do you have a link to the supplier?

Not positive but I believe it was this one.

Super easy installation. Just had to bore out the holes the lights attached to.
