8-11-21 Reservation converted to order.

3-4-22 Bronco scheduled for production.

3-25-22 Bronco has been built!

3-28-22 Bronco shipped and is on its way to my dealer.

4-18-22 I finally pick her up!

I quickly realized that the nets on the doors had to go and I replaced them with WDG pockes from Amazon for $22. 2-20-22

Black Friday and Cyber Monday came along so I got Black Betty a new set of ditch lights. Diode dynamics SS3 Pros in amber. The Diode dynamics wiring harness that came with the kit purchased directly from Diode is garbage if you have AUX switches as it requires you to unplug the switch and add a pig tail to the aux wires leaving a huge mess of wires in your engine bay.
I purchased the CrystaLux, A-Pillar, 4 pin wiring harness from 4x4truckleds.com and am MUCH happier with that set up. 3-28-22

Now that I have ample light to see all the deer BEFORE they jump in front of Betty I could re-focus my efforts back to finding an inexpensive solution for leveling out the cargo area for a twin mattress. I considered the Deep Sleep Solo Mat but was turned off by the pricing. I ordered a Bedsure XL dog bed (44"x32"x4") off of amazon on sale for $54. I figured if I didn't like it, well my dogs needed a new dog bed anyway.
I ordered Mabett back seat covers at the same time. 3-29-22

Next up was time to try and stop all the rocks from flinging out of the tires and slamming against Betty's side. I'm still not completely sure what running boards I will end up with but am Leaning towards the IAG full length easy step as it will allow me to keep my factory rock rails. In the mean time I decided to go ahead and get Mabett front mud flaps to at least help mitigate the problem. 4-09-22

Ceramic tint installed today at Tex Sun in Kerrville, Tx. I called at 3pm yesterday and was able to get on the schedule for 9:30 am today! Very professional, reasonably priced ($399 for ciramic), and the tint came out looking amazing! If you're in the central TX hillcountry and looking for a tint shop, check 'em out.
