Funny story...
So my wife gets home from work, pulling in the driveway behind my Bronco. She walks in the door and comes into the living room where she cheerfully says hello to me and my son sitting on the couch. My son says to me, "She didn't notice."
I should probably explain a little. Earlier that day, my son and I went to AOAA. It was the Monday after Christmas. He's home from college and I wanted to get out for a ride. This was the second time we went to AOAA. Last time was around Thanksgiving.
The last ride, we stayed on the western side of the property. We had a great time, some hairy spots but it was a blast. This ride e decided to check out the eastern reserve. To navigate, I use GAIA on the Bronco screen and my son reads the map to fill in any gaps. We pick a trail off to the right and motor around. Nothing too bad. after driving around for 15 minutes, we ended up on a trail that continued only for ATVs. There was no room to turn around so we had to back out of it about 100 feet. Well, I can back up pretty good. So I put it in reverse and hit the gas. between using the mirrors and the backup screen, I 'ahem' missed seeing a small tree to the rear passenger side. One quick beep from the parking sensors and CRACK! We got out to assess the damage. No body damage, good. Small scuff marks on the bumper, oh well. Shattered tail light, Sh!t.
Back to the wife. She knew where we were earlier. "So, you didn't see it?", I said. "What did you do?!?!", as she runs out the door. As she looks at the damage, she just shakes her head as she heads back inside.
Now alot of wives would get pissed if their husbands just damaged their new $60k vehicle. She just laughed it off. God I love her.
So anyways, If anyone knows of a passenger side rear tail light for a 2021 Badlands, DM me!
PS. The tree was leaning just ever so slightly towards the Bronco, hence the damage to the tail light and not much else.
