So we already have an E.G. 23 OBX that was ordered with beach driving in mind, i.e rear locker,upfitter switches for future opt. etc..But then my warden sees the 25 RUBY Red and has to have it.This time she orders full options on a Badlands.
And so here we are.

Delivery day from @zack@granger Ford. Using recommendations from the animals here on B6G to go with Bears Transportation.
Having never had a ordered vehicle delivered had the warden wringing them hands and clutching them pearls.But it was a smooth process.

Gonna install the Curt hitch this morning,I've installed several hitches,should be done in 20 minutes..but noOOo.
Could not figure out why the bolt holes are not lining up.Had installed and taken this hitch off the 23 and had zero problems.Why is hitch rocking side to side? Get the light and see weld slag at the seam of the hitch support. . Decide against grinder and grab lineman hammer and chisel.10 minutes later,hitch installed.

My Warden has been eyeing her 23 OBX v/s her 25 Badlands and likes/wants the matching painted mirror caps and flares. So here we go. @LethalPerformance

Decided to do the face-lift thing with a shot of Botox.
Grabbed a heritage style grill and bug sheild from @rpmbronco and carried it my paint shooter.While that was being painted,ordered some reflective red overlays from @tufskinz and removed the BRONCO letters from the Badlands grill. Installed letters and overlays on new grill and then installed the new grill.

A before and after.
Also added carbon overlays on door handles..trying to breakup some of this Ruby Red

Then we're off to get everything PPF'd

Got tired of the @SRQbumper taking up space on the workbench, and I still haven't decided on a winch..so off to powder coating we go.

Have really grown to like the ACC for long trips back to PCola,so it's going back on, after "Frankensteining" a bracket.
Installed bumper and bumper sensors.
Thank you @Chritaka & @marcovette for the post/tips

Everything back on and working properly sans fog lights that are on order.Now taking more parts to powder coating..
