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

[35tires]

Highpockets helped me with forscan - stereo and seatbelt chime. The stereo sounds easily 25% louder and I can finally hear it with the top off on the highway. Bass is completely missing but I’m fixing that with a whole system upgrade this week.

Installed some Bronco Script badges today.

What size are you Mickey Thompson tires? I’d like to keep my stock BIg Bend wheels and upgrade to either 33 Mickey Baja Boss or BF Goodrich KO3 and still keep crash bars in place. Waiting on a few more reviews on the KO3 to see if rain performance in better than KO2s were. Thanks

Today I did what FoMoCo couldn't do in 2022 – installed an HVAC control with the temp readout dials. I happened to find this 2023 unit on eBay for $115.

Was it a easy plug and play?

Yes, it didn't require any coding.

I probably missed it, what stereo forscan changes are you referring to?
I did the seatbelt one and double honk already thankfully

Ripped out the crappy B&O amplifier... Weak sauce... 168 watts with overhead. Maybe 140 watts RMS total? That's a massive 14 watts per speaker.

Goodbye! Replaced it with a Mobridge Amp kit for the Bronco.

Did this make a big difference? is there a write up on how to to do this by any chance? Think something like this is on my list next

Finished installing the Hooke overhead MOLLE panels.

You do not have to take the roof panels off to install these, it is MUCH easier to install if you do remove them.

They are 285/70/17 they fit my Big Bend wheels great. I got the Mickey’s because they are supposed to be great in the rain. I ran KO2’s on my Tacoma and I always had to be careful on the wet roads

Thank you! I was hoping LT 285/70/17 would fit without issue since Mickey Thompson’s webste states minimum rim with for that size as 8.57. I really don’t want to do a lift/level either until I can find either Badlands or Sasquatch takeoff suspension for a decent price. If I go that route, may try the 255/85/17s.

Turned off the EQ, turned the rear speakers to speakers with tweeters to remove the filter and enabled the subwoofer.

I’ve got a really nice system getting installed this week, so I’m super grateful for the help. It sounds way better and I can’t wait to hear it once it has more low end.

What rear cargo mat is that?

CARESA brand on amazon
It's pretty dope since u have full access to the D rings. Obviously the holes make them less waterproof but that's fine in my book. Mine is a mall crawler and tofu delivery

Yes, it's not completely tuned yet, but replacing the speakers and the amp/dsp make a significant difference... How huge of a difference is pending tuning when I return from Mexico, but the speakers are now capable of handling roughly double the stock power and the amp is 1150 watts RMS.

I went with 5 Morel Maximo Ultra Coax 402 Mk II, 2 Morel Maximo Ultra Coax 602 Mk II, and a Kicker 48CWR84 sub-woofer. The Amp/DSP replacing the B&O is a MoBridge Bronco kit which takes the factory A2B output and comes with a plug and play wiring harness. It's a very straightforward installation.

Cletus got Mabett hood struts, Rockworkx top bolt kit , Ford door sill protectors, sun shade, cargo logic rear mat,4 door bags and the middle top bag as well.
Waiting on Amazon delivery of the Mabett light kits.

Got her some new shoes.

Your new MT tires look great! I’m thinking about putting the same size MT Boss ATs on my 2 door Big Bend. Have you noticed any significant drop in your fuel economy? I’ve been averaging a combined 23.5 mpg with the stock Bridgestone Duelers on my 2.3L auto but I’m willing to sacrifice economy for a better looking tire.
