Nice, price?
Hella Black Magic 6.2 inch light bar. They are usually $80 to $125. Not sure what the wife paid for the RCI hitch skid, but it's stout.

I'll do a better light comparison tonight using the zone lighting with and without the light bar.

Here's a better comparison. I tried to just take a pic of the light patterns, but my phone kept doing time exposures, so I used pics of the back up cam again. First pic is just backup lights and you can see the brake lights are throwing as much light or more than the white lamps.

Just catching up to this thread......


Seriously, I fragged my ACL about 25 years ago, and due to crap diagnosis by my PCP (Preferred Care Provider) at the time, I walked around on it for another two years before finally seeing a knee specialist. That resulted in some significant damage to my meniscus. I don't recommend that approach! When I did it, the damn thing hurt like hell for about 15 minutes, then was mostly painless from there. The only real indication that something was wrong was my knee would periodically fold up like a lawn chair....and usually at a very inopportune time!
My partner busted her ACL and meniscus a couple months ago. Took her a month and had surgery the day after Christmas.

I on the other hand was at my retirement job and we were pushing a Ferrari around the shop. We were trying to do that without having our hands on the body and rolling the wheels. At one point I almost got my finger caught between a spoke and the brake caliper. I remember saying to myself, be careful, don't do that again. Two minutes later I forgot what I told myself and got my left-hand ring finger caught between the spoke of the front tire and the brake caliper. It was crunched in their pretty tight and we had to keep rolling the car in order for me to get it out.

As soon as I saw it, I knew I needed more than a band-aid. Went to urgent care and it's never a good sign when the doc looks at it and says, "whoa, we're not touching that, you need to go to the ER".

When the ER doctor stitched it up, she said, "well now it at least looks like a finger again, but you need to see a hand surgeon". Had hand surgery the day after Thanksgiving. A month and a half in a cast with a pin stuck down my finger.

My other half and I looked like a sorry bunch. She on crutches and my left hand in a cast.

People would ask us what happened. My response was that she tried kicking me and I tried blocking it.

My beautiful hispanic wife told me that if I ever cheated, that Lorena Bobbit would be an amateur.
I’m last year Baby Boomer, she is first year Gen X…. The younger generations may have a different view on fidelity.
It sounds like a great idea, but that would not fly with our views.
Enjoy… we only go around once!
My partner, who is nearly 18 years younger than me, keeps telling me that I would never see the staircase coming, and I believe her.

That's great. I'm glad to know that she will be stepping away from a 22 to the .380. Have her practice with it as much as humanly possible. 2 handed, left handed, right handed, etc. Emergency situations don't always occur under ideal shooting conditions.
When I got my CPL, they had us do all that. Shoot with both hands, left hand, right hand, they even turned the lights down in the range.

Man, I hate to tell you this, but there's a strange, ginormous hole behind you in the side of your Bronco! Oh, sorry...that's what a doorless 4-door looks like. 😄

Seriously, REB HE is probably my favorite flavor of Bronco! Very nice!

@Nickhick, sorry. The fact it was The U makes it double painful. But I was glad to see 'bama get there a$$ handed to them by IU, though!

Newcomers may want to learn how to remove their Badlands badges.

I may have to do this to my Bronco if our BEST model of BroncoG6 gets any reputations from a new (ridiculous looking) movie coming out...

Lots of movie talk earlier in this thread; thought this may be able to fit in. :wink:

Just catching up on the past 3 weeks it seems.

New Topic: Do you or do you not white-out your license plate when you post photos here, or anywhere else for that matter? Why or why not?
Nope,just never gave it any thought.

And for something completely different....a transfer case skid on the WT installed today! Wife wants to go off roading in the new 4-dr for her birthday tomorrow. At least it has a little bit of protection on everything now.

So this '24 WT has a metal plate under the engine. I'd call it more a "guard" than a skid plate. Our '22 2-dr WT had a lame piece of plastic there, so it's WAY better than that. But are the BD or BL skids beefier than the WT plate?

PXL_20251216_234918221~2.webp
If you still have the plastic plate ,I`ve got a metal one for you.

I would imagine the friendly banter between 2-door vs. 4-door will continue until Ford decides for monetary reasons to completely drop the Holy Grail 2-door Bronco.
If this happens, God forbid, I wonder what the comments from each side will be?
Glad we got ours ............
