Finally cut off my frame extensions in prep for my Lobo/Warn hidden winch install. This was a major, scary step for me. I was worried I would damage Smokey (my Bronco) or me.

Started out with an angle grinder but transitioned to a small sawzall. For me, sawzall with a Diablo Steel Demon Carbide blade worked better, too many sparks flying with the angle grinder to really see where I was cutting.

Now, just waiting on my Ford Performance fairlead to get delivered and soon I will be done!! Last major upgrade to my 2026 Badlands. Photos in no specific order.

Installed a pair of pod lights from the Suparee 6g giveaway. Will get the other set installed this weekend and make a dedicated post about them.

Hit 10,000 miles and two years of ownership. Sat in the driveway with the A/C blasting and watched fireworks from the driver’s seat. I was house sitting in the area so I checked out McConnells Mill State Park before driving home.

Overall fun weekend with the Bronco aside from narrowly avoiding a head on collision with an elderly driver going the wrong way… dashcam is going in next week.

I had the same fear as you and followed the same procedure, not at all bad once I commited.

Glacier is a fun place. Just recently received about 3ft of snow at the "Going to the Sun" road and I heard they have some flooding in the lower areas. We were there 3yrs ago, I think.

I am in the Bismarck, ND area.

Ticked over 100k earlier this week. Took ownership Aug of 2022. A little over 25k a year. Kicking off the next 100k this Sat with a 15-day round trip MN to MT (Glacier), and wherever I can get to in-between.

Wired in 2 6 AWG power cables for my EcoFlow alternator charger. Ran through driver side grommet and for any fellow 7MT people out there, not the easiest task.. mounted in a temp spot to see how I like it. Pics are crap, sorry. Back has been giving me problems and by the time the job was done so was I

I heard about the flooding, hope it's dried out by next week. Didn't hear about the snow, dang, hope that's melted too. Stayed at Theodore Roosevelt NP a couple years ago, beautiful.

Yeah the snow was last week. We heard about it during our family reunion. We were talking about it because thats where we had our last reunion. Montana mountains got quite a bit of snow last week.

Hope is all good and you have a great trip.
If you happen to be stopping in Bismarck, I'm usually around town. LOL

Today I finished up the install of the Wolfbox G900 TriPro on my Bronco. Yesterday I ran the wiring. Today I got the sd card and fired it up. Screen film, fuse based hard wiring and universal mount to replace my flip review it is strapped to arrive Friday.

So far I am digging it. There may be a few adjustments here and there. Especially for the front grill mounted camera. But I can now see out the back of my Bronco without my dogs head blocking the view.

firing it up and we’ve got a great picture.

and I finally took the time to get the wiring tucked away cleanly, tonighy

And in case you lose the set screw for the manual mirror down the dash vent, like I did, I found the a good replacement. Apparently Ford does not just sell the set screws.

How about how did you run the wire on the gate ? Through the vent flap ? or ?

i ran it along with the other wires to the tailgate. I looked into using the grommet that passes the 3rd brake light wiring to the outside, but the connector would not pass through that tight opening. I ran the line, connected things up, tucked it into the tailgate apexing and then ran directly up to the third brake light on the surface. I have a tailgate table and it hides behind that.

To avoid feeling stupid while sometimes having to look around each of my wheels 2 or 3 times for the valve stem, I've added some, "right here, ya dumb s#!t" indicators using nail polish.

I also split more kindling to add to the stacks of firewood I have in the garage.
Ready for fire ring and campsite fires now that it is summer camping season!
.....oh, and it's red flag warning, and burn ban, and tinderbox seasons as well. sigh...

Here's an option that's a bit more blingy than nail polish:
