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

Latest mod is the Black Diamond hood overlay from StickerFab. I was tempted to do it myself but I ended up having the body shop at my dealership do the deed. I graduated with the body shop manager so I knew it would be done right the first time. $69 for the vinyl and $100 at the body shop. It adds a little "me" to the vehicle.

We're approaching 100 degrees this week in AZ so I had to get out of the heat, and do some fly fishing in the high country yesterday.

This was a little while back, but I’ve been meaning to post this.

After Christmas, I installed a set of the Mabbett pods. Those pods come with some extra hardware that is meant for use on 2 door Broncos. I realized that the upper bracket was almost exactly the shape I needed for a ditch light bracket. And the holes looked to be the perfect spacing to use both factory screws. Turned out to be off by maybe 1/4in, but I was able to easily slot that hole and file it smooth. I also had to cut a little birdsmouth on one side to give clearance for the antenna. Files it all smoot, cleaned with ipa, and painted generously with some Krylon rattle can paint. I’m pretty certain these are just mild steel, so rust will be a struggle. But time will tell. For the cost of some spray paint I was able to create a super sturdy mount for my cheap ditch lights. There is an inner and an outer hole position for mounting the lights. I’m currently using the outer.

Nothing to major but finally put my TLP together and my Ford Accessories Bimini cover from coverking finally came in. Unfortunately rain is in the forecast for a long while so it’ll be some days before I can get the Velcro laid and sit overnight then install the Bimini. I do have some more parts arriving from mountains 2 metal to install tomorrow.

Got some 'gold' letters and an emblem to match the 'gold' rims.

I like those ditch lights. Seems like everything on the market right now is all the same - Square or round. I like that these are a bit of a combination of both. How's the light output at night?

Installed the Havoc Molle tailgate panel with pouches that I had for my E-Collars, collar charging cables, tire repair kit, soft shackles, and survival kit.

Decided to try the no door thing for a bit...

Added my First Aid Kit to the window Molle panel, Velcro Tear Away style.

And Baby's got new shoes..........

Picked up the Bronco from service, a week after I dropped it off, but all the open recalls were done an warranty work on the awful rattle in the back were completed. Not a sound from the trunk area this afternoon!

 

[BD6G]

Continuing on with my @Mountains2Metal upgrades installed the center console molle panel and the molle glasses holder basket. I have another M2M item that should be here Friday that I’ll install on Sunday.

Finally installed my “severe duty” steering rack (only one code “steering assist fault”)… will deal with that tomorrow and alinement..also installed Broken innovation Diff drop (fun)…may help CV joints and tie rods/rack some…

Brought the Bronco used - and it's bugged me since day one. One of the trail sight bolts have always been rusty for some reason..

Figured yesterday was a good day for the small things. Little Apple Cider Vinegar / baking soda soak and much better.

You destroyed the factory patina!

Installed 3W floor liners, which fit great (although I'm not happy the description on the website 4 the 4 door set says it had the front mats, the rear mat, the cargo area mat, and the back of the back set mat but the back of the back seat mat was not in the box). Also installed the Mabett trunk cargo cover (instructions left a lot to be desired but a YouTube video cleared it up). I sent an email and a private message on here to 3W reference the missing liner but still waiting on a reply.

Update - 3W got back to me and they are sending out the missing piece tomorrow. Very pleased with their response.
