We went riding to Summertown, TN last Saturday and I forgot to ask you if you wanted to go with us... We're planning on another ride the 2nd weekend of December, if you're interested?

KRAKEN got a breath of fresh air. I installed a COBB Tuning Cold Air Intake. Uses the OEM air box & intake and provides a larger air box lid that holds a larger filter. Advantages: clear panel for monitoring the filter and the COBB air filter is much larger... and it looks cool.

OEM air filter vs Cobb air filter

KRAKEN got an overhead molle panel installed over the cargo area. I bought a Hooke Road overhead molle for a 4 door and used one of the panels and brackets mounted backwards placing it back over the cargo area. The other long panel will be mounted on my SxS ATV.

Upgraded my ancient air compressor with an ALL-TOP dual compressor and a nice short 15 foot air hose for one at a time tire inflation. Stows nicely under my custom seat delete raised platform. Onboard ARB dual was not in the budget and this will be much more useful around the farm with 4 vehicles, 2 tractors, & an ATV.

After reading about the low voltage battery problems with Broncos that aren’t driven enough to keep the battery charged, I realized I fall into that category and started paying more attention to battery maintenance. Mine is not a daily driver and is driven on a lot of short trips around town and was routinely showing low voltage so I picked up a NOCO GENIUS5 battery charger/tender. I also got a short extension to hard wire to the battery and leave in the vehicle that allows the charger to simply plug into a connector and forgo the battery clamps.

SIDE NOTE: I made a couple round trips to Nashville, about 450 miles total, all highway/interstate. Half of the mileage was cruising 75 on cruise control and the other half was in heavy rain with some slow traffic. I got 18.3 MPG on Normal Mode with the Ridge Grapplers inflated to 37 PSI cold.

Our Bronco's stay inside :) But my F-150 had about 1"-2" of snow on it this morning. Yall should've gotten more than we did?

We had to go to work regardless of the weather, so I was taking pics most of the morning, before all the snow disappeared...

Did a couple of small things. Installed some Mod Crate blue anodized bushings on the door pocket frames. I said I was done installing any more blue accents, but those door pocket frames with their silver screws just looked so lonely... so, I invited them to the party.

Got a couple different sunglasses holders off of Amazon that go above the sun visors. The one on the left sits pretty high up against the roof with the top on, but it is kinda rubbery and flexible so you can get your fingers in there. It looks more OEM than the one on the right which is hard plastic. This one sits lower and is easy to access.
