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

I finally got my winch mount completed. I plan on doing some of off-roading but don't want my winch mounted on my vehicle and wanted a way to move it from front to back or vehicle to vehicle. This is what I came up with:

Bronco Badlands with Badland Winch

That looks great but I’m actually talking about the plastic covers that pop on the front. My bumper didn’t come with them. I already have plans to replace my factory fogs with triple cube lights on the ends.
The plastic covers are anywhere between $200 and $400 each in the ford parts book online depending on the dealer. I don’t want to pay that for plastic.

@Lowcountry Bronco Another member helped me find them on Ruxer Ford’s website last night for about $40 each and I ordered them. Thank you though!

Wanted to share this because it works so well. Second wireless charger (for the wife's phone) - my Lux package includes a wireless charger behind the (manual) gear-shift. I picked up the Mabett Console Organizer ($12.50 - I got the single shelf) and a REESTECQI 15w Wireless Charging Pad ($20). The pad includes a lighter-socket adapter and will work with Apple or Android phones (no MagSafe cases), AirPods, and many other Qi devices other than watches. Console organizer has a convenient pass-thru for the cable. First pic shows it installed, others show the cable routing. You could also put the pad in the gadget spots on top of the dash (Lux includes USB ports up there; another post here shows how to add one) or possibly in the change tray behind the gear shift (grab bar makes this a bit inconvenient).

Rough Country bumper with lighting. Just installed yesterday

Nice I have the RC bumpers front and back. I like how the front bumper tucks in and over the lower grille trim. And it hides the crash bars nicely. I also bought the RC front frame horns to rid the tow hooks and allowed me to install tow shackles.

Holy crap… is that a film container?!

Dropped it off at the dealer. Swapping 4DR 2.7 Tow springs into my 2DR… hopefully the increased spring rate will help with hauling the camper.

Also tackling the Network connector in the passenger footwell, passenger front panel MIC seal, MIC Cracks, looking at the seat and it’s cable that keeps popping out, and MGV seat cushion cracking…

Still waiting on rev -D synchros… that’ll be next up

It’s one of the rare times I get to hear the Bronco driven by someone else… still 10/10 on the MRT Axleback

Popped in another procal tune...this time on our Badlands 2.3 7sp.

Wow! what a difference the Rev match downshift makes....I felt like a blind man putting on glasses for the first time and thinking "I've been missing this my whole life"
What a fantastic feature!

The extra 30 horsepower combined with muffler delete, makes the little 4 banger sound and feel quick. And it's so fun to drive! This engine really impresses me! 21 lbs boost is incredible when used with the fairly high compression ratio, only a few years back car magazine articles were saying reliable 300hp outta this size engine with that much boost was unachievable....guess theve been proven wrong. And so are all the people who claimed there was no replacement for displacement....

So

If your buying 87 octane your engine has been de rated to 275 hp, per Fords info. Seems dumb to even try to get a tune with 87 in mind.... get the procal tune and 330hp with good fuel....that's a 55hp increase with good fuel and tune....no brainer. Saving a few cents per gallon is NOT worth the difference to me....we only live once.

The Rev match, is Awesome....if you don't have a clue how it works, when you down shift, the computer knows and adjusts the engine speed to MATCH the transmission speed, so shifts are way smoother and faster. I also believe theve changed the upshifts as well by allowing more throttle and spark cut during upshifts.

Clearly says PREMIUM FUEL REQUIRED.
