Exactly what the title states - putting a thread together where we can come and post little tidbits of anything we have done today, and as we build them to our own tastes.

Love the matte look. How much did that set you back if you don’t mind my asking?
Down in the Valley of AZ, most full coverage XPEL clear quotes run between 6000 and 6500. The highest price was with the actual XPEL flagship install shop at 7500. Plus they all added 500 for stealth PPF. And extra for paint prep and ceramic coating. I was fortunate to find a one man shop. The guy has been doing PPF for 20 years and specifically XPEL for around 15 years. He does 3-4 jobs a week. Can’t recommend him enough. He did all the prep, no extra up charge for the stealth. All exterior painted surfaces, out the door for 3500. But like everything else his costs on materials are going up like 30%. Prices are gonna go up, but will still be way better than all the other places I looked at.

Sounds like a heck of a deal. Turned out great

Wow, that is a great deal. The place that quoted me, an actual Xpel place was around $5,500 I believe with ceramic coat. I would love to do it eventually. Xpel has pre-cut kits available on their site but they are pricy. Your's turned out awesome.

Yeah this guy is a factory certified XPEL installer. He has very little overhead costs so he charges less. The computer program and the computer linked cutting machine is cool. And if you remove the side appliqués or the Bronco he can just delete the cutout. He does everything in house. He gets the big rolls and prints out the kit. way cheaper for him. And the price they quoted you for the XPEL and ceramic coat is pretty good.

You say you can’t recommend him enough but don’t recall a link or location or contact information

Wow, that's cool. Ya, I didn't think it sounded horrible but more than I can afford for now. I'll have to start a savings fund just for Bronco mods LOL. I usually take a road trip every summer to AZ, maybe I can plan a trip and get it done by your guy at some point.

I figured that he is local here to AZ and people can PM me or at the meet up on the 17th I could give out his information then. I would rather they take a look at his work up close and decide for themselves. Also if people have FB I believe he posted on the BN page yesterday.

RokBlokZ Mud flaps. I installed the XL version on my non-sas, non-lifted, factory 33” I think they look ok.

Also installed the GPCA roof tie down anchors. I went with the red because lord knows the interior needs some color.

Big changes, finally added some 35s onto my 2 Door OBX. Changes the whole feel of the Bronco and makes it feel like a beast.

Shoutout to fifteen52 for some great wheels. D3E558A2-6CC1-4ADC-A41E-9C1DB0C37163.jpeg

I’ve been looking at the same rims, but it’s not on my short list (Santa). Cool retro look and should be easier to clean with fewer nooks and crannies.

I also really like the Everglades wheels. And these remind me of those too.

Did they go on without any spacers or drama??

Hi Everyone! Been a while since I posted. Not sure why I've been away. Just realized how much I've missed you all!

I'm so giddy with how I decorated Buttercup for Christmas!
