What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

[66GT]

Added an engine cover from the Ranger.

Nice. I've got one from a F150 2.7 (and the mounting hardware) on order at my dealer... because 42000 Fordpoints... lol

Installed Mabett mud flaps. Once you do one side the other side is a breeze. Both front and back are very easy to do. They have install video on Amazon and excellent instructions in the box. I can see where folks that don't work on stuff everyday might get a little hung up but work through it. Really glad Mabett came out with these and they only cost $119 not $400 like everyone else is charging.

The 40% off was a huge bonus. Didn't need or want the rears... but nice to have the matching set on hand at that price. @Mabett just keeps killing it.

Winched a '66 Merc onto a trailer.

Started the paint correction on that 66 Merc. There's actually factory Ford Candyapple Red (Mercury calls Paint Code "T" Cardinal Red) paint under all that orange oxidation.

Installed this GBmall Central Control Side Storage Mesh Bag. Great addition of easy storage.

 

[DaveInSA]

Installed the Hammer Built tailgate reinforcement with accessory mount and antenna mount.

Need to twist the antenna mount a little so the wire isn't touching the paint though.

Got naked and put on the tube doors.

Seriously considered taking the Carvanna offer for it.

One of the several projects this 3-day weekend (and the only one Bronco-related).
I Made this quick 24x48 cargo cover, reinforced it underneath with a 1x6 in the middle for strength, sanded, cleared it.
Kayak/boat waterproof mat incoming to cover it with (wanted to do something other than standard speaker box carpet or Raptor liner).

Didn't wanna put the top allll the way back on just in case it rains to go to work, just to take it back off again tomorrow. Lol So improvised.

@iamcris ... agreed, the Mabett mudflaps are definitely worth the little bit of aggravation for the price. The instructions are terrible and it took a little tinkering to get them installed.

Some of the things that helped:
While installing the fronts trim about an 1/8" off the edge of the wheel well lining where the bracket gets installed. It makes it easier to get the bolts in. Sorry I didn't take a picture but you'll see what I mean.

Had to do a little surgery with a multi tool on the passenger side flap. Not sure if it was made wrong or the factory installed rock rail was longer on that side:

Install the foam padding on the surfaces of the truck before installing the flaps:

For the rear ones, on my OBX with the factory plastic bumper, it was impossible to bolt the flaps to the lower bracket once the bracket is installed as per the directions.
I had to remove the bar, bolt it to the flap and then install it as one unit:

Lastly, not sure if all trim levels are the same under the fender flares but they make no mention of the existing bolt and retaining nut that has to come out in order to install the upper bracket. I removed the bolt, bent the flange holding the factory retaining nut up out of the way in order to install the bracket with the clip on nut they provide. I was able to reuse the factory bolt which made me feel better about bending stuff out of the way lol:

A few pics…

That's awesome. Hope you weren't out there by yourself. Looks like you need stronger sidewalls.
The first scratch is the hardest.
