This is my wife’s daily driver now but she works just a couple miles from home so not many miles will be put on ours.

So your extended warranty will run out before your first oil change.

Very possible. But we will do annual oil changes anyway.

So I was looking on Ford Pass this evening, and according to it based on my driving so far I won't have to change the oil until Dec 22. I'll do it at either 5k or 7500 miles haven't decided yet, I do my Raptor once a year cause it barely gets 7k miles a year on the odometer. What does everyone else Ford Pass say?

I just noticed mine is saying Sept 2022. I already have almost 2000 miles and have only had my baby for about 6 weeks

Well, I reached 1K miles yesterday. Took a run up to Canada to visit a friend and get some bling on the WildTrack.

The Sound Wave in front of the Bronco is a copy of my actual voice recording. It says, "Ford, 609 Days" (days between reservation and delivery).

In addition, my Canadian friend @Bad_Bronco, who has a MY21 two-door Bronco, designed and produced unique 3D Sasquatch WildTrak badges for our fenders.

Here is his Bronco. His Sound Wave says, "Ford Bad_Bronco", and the ghosting effect is pretty cool. He applied Linex to his flares, roof and grill...and WOW! Is it awesome...it even glitters in the sunshine!

With the painted mirrors, handles and tow hooks, installs of graphics, badges, lights, and nudge bar, I am pretty much done with the exterior mods.

I will probably re-install the OEM muffler; the MRT King of the Hill Dual Tips exhaust is just too aggressive sounding for me. Too much drone at highway speeds.

I built a carpeted plywood platform to level out the cargo area with the seats down; it sure helps with sliding heavy golf bags in and out. These are the 4" legs I used: (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09PD4XCRV?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title# )

I also purchased a cargo protector mat from @Mabett to go on top of the platform and seats. I like this one because the sides go up the cargo walls and really protects the cargo area. Easy to shake out debris. (Mabett for Ford Bronco Accessories 2021 2022 Cargo Liner for Dogs Pet Trunk Protector Mat https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B09QMBM2YX/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_MHHXVHA0V0GA42FE56JH )

I installed the GPCA quick disconnects in place of the MIC Roof bolts. They serve a dual purpose in their ability to be used as gear hangers.

I still have the ARB Compressor and A.S.S. Eliminator left to install.

We leave next week for the 8-day road trip to Vegas for the Off Rodeo...that will be fun! Of course, we will mix in some golf, caves and off -roading along the way!

You will have to post audio @Cat , please. I definitely want to change exhaust, but don’t want obnoxious either.

I’ve installed that exhaust. It sounds great. The only part I dislike is you distinctly hear EVERY shift. And the fact it is a 10 speed it is A LOT of shifts

What’s the story on the Line X on the roof and fenders? Very interesting

He took it to a LineX shop. It looks amazing. I bought the Raptor brand...geared for the DIYer. I just need to get the gumption up to do it.

Here is his build info......

Oh yes yes

I’ve asked him about his seats before. I really want cooled seats ha!

 

[Cat]

I think I can handle setting it up. If anyone is interested, just smack a like on this post and then I'll send a zoom link out in a private message next week prior to.

Ok, thank you, Bradley.

...these folks who, "liked", this post are in, as well as @PaulBrownSr and @Panmort.

Today’s Project

Instal BajaDesign XL-80 A Pillar Light Kit

Pretty easy install, other than Alvin tends to over complicate everything and needed to know all possible failures before we started.

Also welcome to Springtime in Houston.
Wired to Upfitter SW2
I’ll get some night shots soon.

after seeing how much pollen was on the Bronco, i was forced to do a quick wash and dry.

I ordered this today. Really great solution for all three roof panels.

I'll keep that in mind. I was mostly hanging around the airport / international plaza area where my office is. We checked out cigar city brewing which was pretty good. Then we went out to dinner in Ybor city at Columbia (it was overrated, in my opinion) and checked out some bars after.

Well, whenever you are back this way, feel free to give me a shout. Sorry about Columbia. I actually like the food there quite a bit. Plenty of other choices though!
