What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻🔧🧰🚿🛠
Installed some Baja Design pocket lights from @4x4TruckLEDs.com. Also discovered two of my upfitter switches don't work (#3 and #6). Sadly I don't have a multimeter to trouble shoot so it will be a trip to the dealership at some point.

How do you know they don't work? Because the light does not turn on? Make sure you didn't insert the connector incorrectly. Sometimes if you don't line up the barrels on those WP connectors you can CRUSH them. There is a female and a male side and it... well ya know... it slides inInstalled some Baja Design pocket lights from @4x4TruckLEDs.com.

(anatomy class folks)But what might happen is on the barrel connector (female side) the male side might not line up and you CRUSH the connector instead of making a proper connection. So before you take a trip to the dealer just double check your WP connectors on the harness/light and make sure nothing got CRUSHED.
Little addition to the back seats once summer comes around. Hope to protect against the sand from the beach and my dogs muddy paws.

80° in AZ so of course the top was off in December! Figured while I had it off, throw on some @Rockworkx!
Any benefit beyond cosmetics?Here you go...
It can take a bigger hit. It's thick cast iron, not thin stamped steel. Plus it has a drain plug!
I may ask the dealer to install one when I do the diff fluid change in a few months. Should be near zero labor charges since they have to pull off the old diff cover anyway. Not too bad for $300. With a drain plug I may be more inclined to do my own diff fluid changes.

Changed the fluids in my front and rear diff this weekend. Only 11k miles on the rig but it needed it. Front diff fluid looked like mud. Brown and milky like some water got in there. Metal shavings on the magnets on both plugs piled up. T case didn’t look bad at all with no shavings.
Rear diff fluid was pitch black with some shavings on the fill plug but not as bad as the front. However I did break a bolt off in the rear diff when I went to take the cover off. About 1/2” deep in the hole. Let the games (and swearing) begin. Couldn’t get it out on night 1. Maybe later this week.
I also installed the Transmission (and front diff) skid plate from Talons Garage. Fantastic coverage and protection (with a little frustration on installation).
It completely covered the transmission, front diff, and crossmembers.

DIY’d a SunStrip with some cheap Amazon tinting material
The bottom picture is my driving POV. The strip was sized to reduce glare from the harsh angled winter sun, as well as some scattered light from the lightbar

These were what I used recently:
