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

[PrincipalD]

For our third summer together, I have spent almost the entire time with the doors off. To this day we get looks, waves, and stoplight conversations about how great these things are. We will be putting her back together soon to prep for hunting season.

Changed out the stock non-SAS tires and shocks for the Kenda Klever 315/70/17 and the Bilstein 6112.

I also kept the stock tires and mounted them on the stock rims, but i powercoated the stock rims with ‘Triple Bronze’ - i wanted to keep the bronze theme when I change the tires out.

They're actually decent looking wheels once you get away from the stock finish. OBX wheels also look much better in a solid color I noticed.

Out with the old and in with the new. Replaced the Broaddict Half Rack with a full rack for an upcoming camping trip to Florida Caverns State Park.

Will be hauling a Gazelle gazebo and T4 Plus Overland using a Sleeper Keeper from American Avenue Lab and the short rack just wasn't going to cut it.

Can't wait for the adventure! Here's a preview:

I mounted my Morrflate under the hood.

Did an oil change and found the front diff input seal shot at 34k miles

Yeah, mine is currently waiting for Ford to "approve" the same thing, and at 34k miles.... Can you say recall coming......

Same. Dealer is replacing under warranty - 27k miles - scheduled for 9/12...

I agree. I don’t like the dual black / chrome finish of the OME rims. If Ford would have gone with either all black or all chrome I think I would have not spent the money to powder coat.

Thanks, they do look good, but they are royal PITA to add lights to.

Yeah I am not as concerned with that, never wanted lights in those pockets unless it was a set of fogs. Did you need a custom bracket?

Can you share your bracket design? I wanted to do the same in the same location. How did you move that ECU?

Set the PSI on my Straun Deflators and tested the ARB Twin underhood compressor.

I set the deflators to 17.5 PSI and marked them with a paint stick for reference. I aligned the mark with the vent hole so it will be easy to replicate in the future when the paint wears off. To set them I used the 2 rear ties, 1 for setting and the other for verification. Going to play with them a bit more as I understand from various videos that 1-turn is approximately 6 PSI.

Plugged in the Morrflate 2-hose/tire kit and the ARB Twin took them from 17.5 PSI to 35 PSI in 1 minute 57 seconds. A lot faster than the Morrflate FiveSix single that I have which takes almost 5 minutes a pair.

I typically run lower pressure in the rear than the front but now I'm toying with the idea of modifying the Morrflate hose to a 4 tire system. I'm rethinking running just a couple of PSI difference between the front and rear.

For reference, tires are 35X12.5X17 Baja Boss AT's.

Tricky making moves.

So I missed the B6G photo challenge by a few weeks on this photo. I was in Pintop, AZ this weekend and was confronted by a huge, scary red-eyed, Sasquatch beast. Oh yeah, we also saw this cool antler/tire sculpture to....

Florida Caverns State Park.

Dang it, drove right past that without knowing it on my big road trip 2 years ago. We're big cave junkies. Mammoth was the best so far.

Easy one to miss. Personally, I didn't have caves on my crazy shit in Florida bingo card either. And I've lived here most of my life.

My first post here. Love seeing the engagement. It makes me more thrilled to be part of the community. Took my 2D Badlands out to the Pine Barrens, NJ today.

Great photo Justin!
It looks like a professional sales photo for a Bronco brochure.

The inner set are KC flex
era 3s SAE fog lights. We bought a full combination kit for the modular bumper that also included flex era 1s the wiring harness for uplifts and mounting plates. We modified the KC plates and made two new brackets. The light placement needed to move back away from the bumper about an 1 1/2" and up about 3/4". The opening on the RTR bumper ends is way smaller and is farther back. Definitely doable for a single fog light on each side.
