Alright guys. I just picked up my Bronco from @Dubsesd shop CT Window Film. I finally had full Matte PPF installed with some other goodies as well! Let me know what you think. I can definitely go to the mall parking lots now and not worry about any trial damage!

In addition to the PPF they installed Ditch lights, Fog lights, Bronco grille lights and most importantly an ARB compressor mounted under the hood so I can air up and down my tires for the sand when I go on the beaches!.

once again thanks @Dubsesd for getting this done it came out great. I recommend everyone to check him out.

Weston. Been wanting to go to Nantucket for years. Having the Bronco makes me want to go even more. Your post made me read up on RI's permit and locations where you can drive on the beach. This might have to happen. Your compressor makes more sense now!

I took my Bronco to Nantucket last summer. So many Broncos down there. It's fun to drive the island circuit. Lots of slow, bumpy sand roads on the north beaches. And some mid-island tight trails that caused some pin-striping on my paint.

Which fog lights did you go with and what was the cost? Looking to add these soon. Was considering the Oracles, but saw some recent reviews that gave me pause.

@TScals dude the reviews are bullshit. They are oracles and are perfect. 330 bucks and done. I’llmeetup so you can see them anytime

@SavSqch Do you have them connected to an AUX switch? Are all the lights compliant, or did you split them for regular road floods vs off-road use?

@TScals 100% complant. Let’s meet up sometime I’llshow you

@SavSqch Getting a car to ACK is no small task. You have to book way in advance and the slots on the ferry (over $600 roundtrip) sell out within minutes of opening. The only hotter ticket is Taylor Swift.
I have the Napa compressor and FastFlate 4 tire system. Can go from 10psi to 35psi in about 6 minutes for all 4 tires. It takes a few minutes to connect the tubing, but worth it for about $300 all-in.

Your Bronco looks very sharp BTW. Wishing I held out for the hardtop. Looks super clean. Are the ditch lights also Oracle?

Curious if any of the CT Bronco owners have done audio upgrades. At some point I’d love to hear the difference in person before I go down that road. The ‘23 B&O isn’t awful, but I of course want it better.
Dubsesd

@CT203 I have the base system. I put in a kicker key amp replaced the speakers with kickers and installed a hideaway sub. It sounds way better then stock but still missing something lol. It probably sounds like the b&o does

@CT203 I’m trying to change the meetup to Friday ! Come and I’ll show you my completely stock BO radio that does phenomenal on Sports Radio that I use it for lol

@Dubsesd I just placed a small IAG order - soft top struts and window bag. I now hear the struts make it more difficult to put the top down. Easier to put the back up, but I guess there is a trade off... I'll have to figure out which annoyance I'm less bothered by! Friday won't work for me. I have enough trouble finding free time to get together with the few existing friends I have! I'd like to make it work though. Keep me in the loop.

Hi guys. I'm having DV8 bumpers installed on Thursday. The rear bumper is the FS-15 Series with two flush mounted light pods. I can either have them connected to an auxiliary switch for back lighting which might be handy fishing on the beach or have them tied into my reverse lights. Any thoughts or opinions?

No go for Friday, we are getting it done on Thursday.

Since I just got laid off today, an evening tinkering with my Bronco is a welcome respite.

@StachioAttack72 ugh dude I’m sorry. Permanent lay off? You are installing expensive part is that wise…..

@StachioAttack72 Damn. Sorry to hear that. What kind of work? Maybe someone here has a hookup or can otherwise help. I think we’ll be seeing more layoffs in the next year sadly.

Hi guys. I had DV8 front and rear bumpers installed by Precision Performance in Wilton. I considered trying it myself, but I had fog lights and pods installed in the front and back as well and didn't feel comfortable trying to do the wiring. Picked it up this afternoon and I'm so happy with how it turned out.

I’m around the corner. They do great work there. Did McMahon ding you with an ADM?
Steve62
Steve62
I really like the people at Precision and agree they do great work. They did my lift last year. As far as McMahon goes, there was never even any discussion of a markup. They were terrific.
CT203
CT203
Glad you had great experiences! The bumper looks great by the way. I’m jealous. McMahon: I was told there’d be markups 3 different times (I went back for more test drives) before I finally ordered at a different dealer. Everything else about them seemed good however. I’ll still go there for service.
Do you plan on doing any off roading? Tough to find anywhere too close.
Steve62
Steve62
I'm surprised about your experience with McMahon. They never eleven brought up a markup. I picked up mine in October of '21. I guess things changed as time went on.

The only off-roading I really do is driving on the beach Nantucket. I did the off roadeo in New Hampshire and that stuff was incredibly fun, but way beyond anything I've ever done on the beach. How about you? Any plans?

I wanted to get out to Nantucket this year for the first time, but not looking good time wise. May take a trip to Rausch in NJ. My off road experience is limited to some old forest roads years ago. I don’t want to get into anything that could cause damage but I do want to have a little fun.

Did you see the post here about the ride in NJ this weekend? That looked pretty easy, but like a lot of fun.
