Ken and Kerry's 2023 BadSquach build (more mods than build.... )

Where did you get the spare ring light? I’ve seen the ring, but like how this one covers the holes.

Welcome to the Nation. That is one good looking Bronco and you are Off to a good start with the mods.
Often times I find my credit card is still smoking days after I start buying stuff for the Bronco. LOL.

This is where we'll post the work we'll be doing on our Bronco (announcement here: https://thebronconation.com/welcome-new-users-start-here-n.8/welcome-t.4/page-51#post-332003)

First five mods tonight (day 1):

* Spare Ring 3rd Brake Light (Silly fun)

* BulletPoint Phone Mount (will move to RokForm mount like in my Ram 2500.... but the RokForm Case for her iphone won't be in until tomorrow....so using the clamp for her for now

* Console Drop-in Organizer

* LED inside light (wow!)

* Bronco black out rear Tag Frame

Like many of us, the list is long. More stuff coming in over the next several days. The big stuff (internal storage) will begin next week after she gets back from her work schedule 5 hours up the road.

Gonna be fun.

Your Bronco is looking awesome, we look forward to following your build!

More silly fun

* De-badged front fender, relocated BadSquach logo to back Window. I'll add the black script Bronco logos to the front fender when they come in

* Speaking of Squach... 🤣

* Huge storage panels front doors to replace lame, stretched OEM netting

* Got my wife a Rokform phone case (like mine) for her phone so we can just click in and click out... Super nice in my Ram 2500 Diesel. Cool to have a uniform phone mount in both rides

* Hard back rear seats in Cargo area. We have dogs - rough coat collies. So we're hair farmers. It just makes sense to have as little carpet in this thing as possible.

* Speaking of Dogs... My wife is a veterinarian and surgeon, and this is her everyday driver. So gotta add a paw someplace (duh). Metal, chrome. Nice on back Window.


On the way this week is some additional storage, auto-stop override (idiotic feature, auto stop), stubby antenna, aluminum overhead grab handles and some other comfortable, functional stuff.

Love what I get to learn from the passionate, experienced owners in this forum.

It's cool that you started a thread on your build. I did that too.
Makes for a fun journey.
I definitely like the extra light you added inside.

Thanks for taking us along on your build. Looking forward to see what you go with for additional storage…

Dog's were a huge part of our build.
Not just the bronco, the pickup and expedition too.
Fur farmer, love it.

More today.

* Rigid Grab Handles front

* Stubby Antenna

* Back Seat Cup holder (removable from rack, so we can put the seat down ⤵️)

* Christmas Squach.... Because 🤣

Today's mods :

* added internal lights (this truly is the darkest car I've ever been in). HUGE improvement, plug and play, easy peasy

* Mountains to Metal awesome overhead basket (sunglasses, I'll mount the gate and garage remotes here too...) love this thing.

Today's work on the pony:

* Key fob covers. Yeah, a little goofy. But we live in a very large house with a lot of cars and one key bowl by the back door... And all the key fobs look the same. 🤣. Not now.

* Back door panel storage pockets added. Very cool.

* Script logos added. Found a template online, printed, carefully lined up and easy peasy. Looking soooo good 🥵

So much the last couple of days, thought I'd share:

* Installed the Auto Stop Override. YAYYYYY!!! Auto-stop resetting to ON everytime I get in the Bronco is lame. Now, with the override, it will retain the last setting at the time of exit.... so it is ALWAYS OFF!

* Installed a pull shade for the back cargo area. The ridiculous adhesive (plastic on plastic tape) is pretty poor, so I've been using JB Weld or Epoxy... and that works much better. I like this thing

* Dan's Bronco Bikini (https://broncobikini.com/) - this thing is legit! And Dan could not be a better guy. Walked me through some issues I was facing, got my top installed, and took myself on a date tonight (!) Support this guy and his business. He packed my order the night I called, and I had it 2 days later. Unreal. Nothing but love for this company, their products and the dude.

* I may have also stolen Dan's hoist design so I can get the top off and stored in, like, 6 minutes
