What did you do to your Bronco today?

I had to ditch the fender stickers because I figure they're just going to eventually get weathered, dried out and start peeling.
So I decided to install Bronco emblems (always liked the retro 1990 version).
I think these chrome emblems match up pretty good with the dark antimatter blue color.

Real happy with the new look ..... much better than stickers IMO.

Looks good! I like the script badging, but this is something no one else has! Very nice!

I installed the Bomba Blow Off Adaptor on my Bronco Sport Badlands

I normally like to wrench, but I hated this job. First hate, Ford uses Torks to bolt down the blow off valve that vents to the manifold. It's in a god-awful place, there's no room to wrench whatsoever. What should have been a 30 minute job, took 2 hours and I said so many bad words, I have no chance of ever going to Heaven.

It's impossible to see it, but the Allen bolt are my proof I mad the mod



Rubbed Raw

Mac Tools ball end torx socket set, P/N STS10RBRT. Makes life easier on this job.

I added IAG Soft top struts. It started raining so I couldn’t test them out or add their paint protection film yet.

I'm going to put my 3" lift on and 37"tires with method 703's with 0 offset. My question is what mud flaps would be good. Any advice would be helpful

I’m leaning rokblokz. Their site has some pics with 37s, you’re going to have more poke (than the pics) but the xl longs should cover. And relatively easy t remove when ya hit the trail. What tires are you getting?

I always get BFGoodrich KO2, but I like the Cooper SST Pro. I retired from BFG so I get one tire for free so I guess I made up my mind

The only problem is those are male and you need the female sockets to get the factory Torx bolts out. I'm not sure why Bomba included Allen bolts, a regular hex would have been better.

These struts are excellent & a must have for soft top owners.
Makes opening up the back so much easier.

I agree with @sdakota. I have much respect for the script badging but I want something to match the modernized look of my 2022 Bronco. I like more of a resto-mod look vs full classic if that makes sense to anyone. Just IMO. You've got me thinking. Nice work!

I added the Bronco factory tube doors on the front, just to see how they look. What do you think??View attachment 39019

How did you get the yellow handles? I have only seen black.

I bought my Bronco emblems from Bronco Graveyard.
Emblems are good quality, well made.

I installed the Diode Dynamics SS3 Pods as Ditch Lights, and I did a little off roading today!

I’m still working on my Rock Slide Engineering rock sliders. This install is becoming a saga. I thought they were done, but the driver side rattles and squeaks like crazy. The extra armor plates didn’t quite fit right on both sides.

So tonight I drilled out the tap rivets on the driver side to remove the armor, and then loosened and re-torqued all the bolts to correct the fitment. That has fixed the rattles and squeaking.

Tomorrow I’ll reinstall the armor plate on the driver side and then start working on the passenger side.

Put a hole in my rear passenger tire :rolleyes:
Piece of metal got me on my way to the beach. Thankful for the full size spare and tire plugs. Maybe this will incentivize me to get better tires than the Duellers that are on there lol

Same here I have to remove the armor and do some additional fitting. Also be to find out how to adjust closing to stop the hard closure. Also recommend stronger adhesive for magnets, mine kept falling out, I used weather strip adhesive and it seems to be holding better.

Luckily I have redeemed the trip. Finally got the Bronco a little dirty today!

Sometimes even the best tires get holed from road debris. Semi blew a tire in front of us and steel belts exploded, wire everywhere, got a piece in 33" KO2 only 12k miles on it, but put a plug in it and made it home, then had it patched. Stuff Happens

Going to Rocky Mountain National Park today some hiking and driving old fall creek road.
