@604Bronco Love the lights. Any interference with sensors or air flow? Any plans to get new wheels?

Thanks! There’s slight interference with the front camera, but nothing major. I’ve only had them on a short period, but don’t notice any issues with air flow.

And no for new wheels. I like the factory wheels, except I needed to paint those beauty rings as they are hideous in silver (IMO). Now they look much better.

Black Powder Coated Beauty Rings:

You can thank @Tricky Dick for creeping me out earlier and forcing me to install my black powder coated beauty rings. They look awesome, and I don’t have plans to buy new wheels at this time. Doing this completed the wheel look, IMO.

Sorry, not the greatest pictures, but you’ve all seen powder coated beauty rings before.

Baja Designs Lights #2:

Here are some night shots of the lights. Sorry, they aren’t the greatest but I think it showcases how awesome and bright they are!

Baja Designs Lights:

Wanted to post an update on my Baja Designs lights that were installed this week. These are the Baja Design 6XL Linkable Modular Bumper Light Bar (Baja Design Part # 447750UP) & Baja Designs Amber SAE Fog Pocket Kit (Baja Designs Part # 447762UP).

The light bar is hooked up to one AUX switch, the amber fog lights another, and then the other two pocket lights to another AUX switch. Love the look of them, and looking forward to testing them out at night one of these days.

Let me know what you think!

Turned out awesome, Curtis! So glad you're happy with your products and thank you again for your support!

Those look awesome! Did you have to rebalance the wheels afterwards?

Thank you!

I didn't; I don't think anyone who has painted or powder coated the beauty rings have. Never really thought about it but can't imagine there's that big of a weight difference.

Cargo Net:

Wanted to post a picture of the rear cargo net. Although that’s boring, I haven’t seen many pictures of it so it might be helpful for some folks.

I was also able to wash my Bronco for the first time since getting it. Thought I’d share some romantic sunset pictures These are actually the only pictures so far showing all my exterior mods in all their glory… thus far

Enjoy!

Finally had some nice weather. Only 6 degrees Celsius outside, but I wanted to try to drop the top and put it all back together while I’m not in a rush. Oh ya… and I wanted to see what my wrap looks like with the top down. I think it looks awesome!

Was pretty simple. Hardest part was lining up the bottom of the window with the bottom track, but even that wasn’t too difficult.

Looks really good. Very curious how that vinyl graphic would look on Cyber Orange.

StickerFab makes some good sill protectors.

I bought the Carbon overlay ones and am happy with them.

Do the 3D carbon ones have any texture to them at all, or are they just as smooth as regular vinyl? Wondering if they would provide any grip.

I assume the graphics would look amazing on any colour Bronco... Even a pink one I actually think it would look amazing even on a Shadow Black Bronco - With the matte black it could give a subtle texture to the vehicle. I've had matte black on black/dark grey vehicles before and it looked great (albeit, it wasn't as large as this wrap is).

There is some texture. Watch his install video, he uses carbon ones.

Front & rear Husky X-Act Contour floor mats:

So my Husky mats showed up today - Took about a month to get them, but they're finally here! The quality seems great so far! We'll see long term, but I love that they are more rubberized vs. the slippery Weathertech mats I've had in past vehicles. These also have a much higher lip and better coverage vs. the OEM Ford rubber mats. I also like that the Husky rear mat is one piece vs. Ford's two-piece setup.

I've included some pictures below of my Ford mats vs. the Husky ones.

I skipped the mats on mine intending to get them later. Looks like Husky is the way to go then.
