Went exploring this NC winter wonderland.

Curious.......is the snow there a common annual occurrence? Looks lovely, like a Ford snow globe. Lol

No not normally. We usually get like one good week of an inch or two down here outside the mountains. But yesterday we got just under a foot. Most Charlotte has gotten in 25 years they say. I had been eyeballing this little bit that goes through a tree farm outside Charlotte and after seeing the snow I knew I had to go there for this little photo shoot.

UPS brought something fun, severe duty steering rack

I installed pre-cut hood ppf (partial - covers from the grill to maybe half the hood) that I bought off ebay from China.
Watched a bunch of youtube videos, figured if some slack jawed two toed kid could do it, how hard could it be?

Well, it wasn't looking so great:

But after 30 more minutes of sweat and colorful language:

I did not enjoy doing it. But I did enjoy paying $80 vs who knows how much they charge in LA. I did get a quote for $500 to ppf the windshield which is waaaay easier to do...

p.s. my Bronco is Robin Egg Blue - for some reason the AWB on my phone makes it appear gray.

So I had one bubble that I missed and would not go away in the sunlight. Liquid under the ppf. Googled what to do - one day later a pack of five hypodermic syringes for $4 from AMZ showed up.
sucked that liquid out in a sec and there is no sign it ever was there or a mark on the ppf.
I first tried to pin prick but that doesn’t work as it self heals almost immediately! The syringe allows it to be drawn out through the needle.

Got my Eibach Pro Truck 2.0 Coil-Overs and Zone UCA's installed this week. Next up 37" Falken Widepeak A/T4w. Not sure yet if I will get new wheels.

Finally got all brether vents ran to under the hood. Tedious to say the least...

FYI, the hardware and stuff is up under the foam in the top of the box and that stuff is really stuck on there. It took me a while to figure that out.

Shelter green’d the tow hooks and blacked out trim and skids

Thanks to the aftermarket, I was finally able to get my aux switches that I had on my build 3 yrs ago....though I did have dismantle my interior

I installed cornering lights today. They are Baja Designs S1s. Can’t wait to try them out tonight. Thanks to ThunderFlash for providing links to installation, but since I didn’t have a fog light switch, I hooked them up to an upfitter switch, so no cool FORscan tricks like turning the wheels activating the inside turn corner light.

@Noco, these things can be rectified!

@Noco, these things can be rectified!

What’s the part number so one could order this rectification?

 

[Q1svt]

swapped out to a Twisted ShifterZ handle. Very nice.

… nice. Only other Badlands without the orange accents…

I had purchased a TS Orange shifter. May have to order a white one.

when was yours built? Me 7/29/25

What’s the part number so one could order this rectification?

M2DZ-11654-DC. There is also a part with two buttons that will allow front and rear fog lights, but I don't have that P/N handy. Note that the -JC part number looks exactly the same, but is for rear fogs only (I made that mistake). If you have front parking sensors, the wiring harness for fogs is probably in place, but I'd visually confirm that before you get too deep. The Bronco computer needs to be educated with FORscan to recognize the button and enable the lights. Good luck!
