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.

Installed Rough Country fog lamps/DRL today. Wired the grill lights and the RC and Rigid DRLs to the running light circuit to free up accessory switches. Really impressed with the quality of the Rough Country lights.DRLS.jpgFog lighst.jpg

Installed Morimoto XRGB LED Headlights. Hereโ€™s my how to, and video of how they look, comparison to OEM. Very pleased - like , VERY. THey are basically twice the brightness of the OEM.

I installed an Ironman 12,000 lbs. Monster Winch using the Lobo hidden winch mount.
I will be making a video of the process, which was not entirely straightforward.
But I think the end result is nice:

I got my Bronco "trail-ready" with a full body PPF wrap and ceramic coating. I'm doing what I can to mitigate the "custom pinstriping" that narrow trails are known to produce. I also added a 20% window tint for the door glass while I was at it. Very pleased with the results!

Here's a link to more photos: Chris' Bronco Pix

I got my 21 bad sas an older brother- 95 xlt, to replace our 93 xlt. Screenshot_20230205_104914_Facebook.jpg
And I found out there is no eta on oem glass to fix the broken window on the badsas. Window was punched out by vandals. At least it's on the top- and topless summer is coming.

Thank you, @EGBronc! Benchmark Auto Salon did an outstanding job. I couldn't take my eyes off it. The surface feels as smooth as glass.

I gave it some thought, and despite being a purist, I decided to delete the stickers entirely. For the price, I think Ford should have sprung for some real metal badges. So I'm going to keep the fenders clean for now. At some point, I may apply the satin Badlands Sasquatch Bronco script badges offered by Archetype Racing. They're pretty sweet.

The shop carefully removed the decals and placed them on wax paper so I could transfer them to something else down the road if I choose to do so. I might slap 'em on a cooler or one of my YETI mugs.

How do you like the 4Bangers? Iโ€™ve been looking at those - like the lower profile and mount design a lot.

Looks awesome. I did the tint on mine too. Tint really looks sharp IMO, and unifies the side profile having all the glass match. (Very nice for cutting glare in the interior as well)

Just read your signature! Did you really count the holes in the grill??? ๐Ÿคฃ thatโ€™s too funny!! I want to have mine painted matte black. I feel like it will match the matte black emblems and the fender flares better๐Ÿ˜Š

I did! OCD is one of my superpowers. I was curious if the Ford engineers had a specific number in mind, thinking there may be an Easter egg in there. Well, I guess they just decided that 100 sounded like a nice round number.

The PPF also covers the grille and headlamps. The headlight bezels are covered, up to where the holes begin on either side. Can you imagine if they had to install and align PPF over a grille with 100 openings? That would send me over the edge! LOL

I like your idea for painting the grille matte black. That front end is ALL business, which is why I will probably go with matte black shackles when the time comes. I'm not for one for doing the whole "matchy-matchy" thing. Color matches are rarely spot-on. I'd love to see what your grille looks like when you're done.

That is awesome!! I love it! I now know how many holes are in my grille! Thank you!!๐Ÿ˜„ I canโ€™t imagine doing PPF around all those holes!!

As for my grille, If I can convince my husband to do it I will definitely post pics. He is not about modifying anything! I also want to paint my beauty rings a gloss black. I have seen others do it and I think it should be pretty easy. I thought about the EG for the beauty rings but I am too paranoid that it will look terrible in person. I have seen pictures and it looks ok. We will see!

How do you change them, is there a switch you have to install or is it all through the light knob? The low beam on those look to be what the high beam on the OEM ones were, I see a big difference.
it is easily controlled through the "Happy Lighting" App (iOS or Android), as long as the headlights are powered, the App will automatically connect to them and control - no pairing needed. Whatever you set the lights to is what they will always return to with each start of the vehicle - app not needed to keep at your last setting. You can create your own custom settings - (with App connected to powered lights) and leave them as "presets". the App has presets, but you can completely customize them (again, as long as the lights are powered). With your presets, you can click them at any time to quickly adjust colors - I am doing that in the end of the video demo, just clicking on my presets. You can adjust presets with a slider, or adjust by entering a specific level, 0-255, for each color channel - R,G,B - giving you a total of 16,581,378 colors to choose from and set as a preset. (additionally, there is a brightness slider 1-100 for any setting you store, which directly dims/brightens the output for the halo/DRL (not the white projector beam of actual headlight).

Lighting app info HERE.

Made some small Mod's today. I installed the dash rail with one arm (for now) and cell phone holder from 67 Designs. Super sleek looking, very easy to install, and also not to fairly expensive compared to other dash kits I have seen around. Also put on a bullet antenna from SA company.

I think they are great. I have the amber wide beam so I can run them on the street. I got them for the snow at Lake Tahoe but I haven't gotten up there yet. They don't shine on the Trailsights because I don't have them. I got the DEEZEE Fender Sight Delete which I Really like. I have them pointed outward a bit because I will have 6 2Bangers above the bumper in a Y-W-Y-Y-W-Y combination. I don't recommend the wire harness as they are WAY overkill. I got the CRYSTALUX and cut the power line down as it is about 7' to long. I will update when I get the 2Bangers, I wanted to be different than everyone else with the Pocket Fogs. ZROADZ running boards to help my teenagers into the backseat. Being from Humboldt County, 4 Doors is not an option. Got rid of that Beer Keg under the back bumper too. CORSA Cat-Back is low key badass. I call him "The Bad Beauty"
