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

[Rydfree]

Executed my first recovery with the winch yesterday. Was trying to ride the landscape timbers with the Kubota to keep from getting the weed trimmer out and tire slipped and ended up turtled on the timbers. 1200lb Kubota was more than I could manhandle so had to adapt improvise and overcome

Started chipping away at the hidden winch install.

The modular bumper is heavier than I expected it to be.

Aside from the normal Bronco issues this is the most annoying. Even when all the screens went dead this is more annoying. I am bringing it back for service on Wednesday but it sounds like a pickup with a broken frame and the bed is shacking all over the place just driving on hardball.

I want to clarify this, it is not as violent as a pickup with a broken frame but it is as constant. Meaning no matter how small of a road imperfection I drive over I hear the passenger side trunk area just rattling/hitting itself on something. It is maddeningly annoying. But it is going back into service tomorrow. I am not taking it back till they fix it, it is that awful.

Washed then coated with some Collinite 845

Damn, that looks great! And I think I am going to replace my trim badges with the traditional lettering like that. IMHO it looks more put together.

Had the hood wrapped black.

Ticked over 19,000 miles and the trunk area rattle sounds like 19,000,000 miles. ugh

If you have a hardtop see if the rattle is coming from where the window molding meets the inside tailgate when closed. Just lift the window and close the tailgate and drive around and see if it goes away. Lube the seal if needed. Should fix if that's what you're hearing. Mine did this too, drove me crazy.

Thankfully no hard top for me!

I'm sure you have checked the jack storage area to make sure it hasn't worked loose.
The inner panel for the right rear pops off pretty easily you might check behind there as well.

There was a thread way back when someone found one of their soft top hinges had worn enough that it had side slop and rattled. One of the joints that has the big rivets. I recommend a dolly and hammer.
Try putting a bungee across your top mechanisms or putting the top down and see if the rattle goes away.
Definitely hard to diagnose without hearing.

A little OEM+. Swapped the cover. Used all supplied hardware.

I've been eyeing that attic tray, how do you like it ? Seems like it tucks up there pretty well. Lose any visibility from the rearview mirror ? How do you think it will work if running topless, think it will need some netting or something over it ?

Thanks

Expanding on @Footer's questions... what's the access like with the top on? I see it flips down, is it easy? Been eyeing the Pura Vida one but the flip down is nice.

Although I do like the option of the recovery board mounting on the Pura ones.

It tucks up completely out of the way of your line of site. I absolutely love it, I have gear ties that I’ll use when topless to secure items. It still works with the top lift pro. Just fold the tray down and the lift slides right in. Next time I take the top off I’ll post an updated picture showing how it looks. It is one of my favorite pieces from them hands down.
