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.

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).

Ok, that is awesome. Thanks for the info. This is what I wanted but for the Bronco letters. Fingers crossed they come out with that. I reached out to Oracle but they said they don't have that planned. I need to reach out to these guys and ask.

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"
The whole setup looks great. Love the bangers! I’m pretty sure that is how I will go as well.

Finally decided which bumper to replace my damaged OEM one. I managed to bend up the factory one backing into my garage. Caught the side on the garage door opening, then pulled forward which wasn't good.20230127_222906.jpg
Got this installed today. Nice and easy. I think it looks great and the price wasn't bad!20230211_120534.jpg

I had a friend come over and help me pre-tension my Ironman winch. Which basically means I’m done, and ready to use it.
The pre-tension process was helpful in getting to know the operation of the winch.

So how much heat do you need to apply to get the horse off? I assume if you don't use heat the paint comes with it?
My recommendation would be to use a hairdryer. Far lower temps, and very unlikely to damage the paint. The heat just softens the adhesive. You can easily damage paint with a heat gun if you aren’t careful.

Heat gun temperature range (typical) is from 100 up to 1300 degrees F
Hairdryer runs at much lower temperatures, usually 70 to 140 degrees F

Lots of videos showing the technique for either decals or for badges with dental floss or fishing line.

I messaged them, they said to follow their social media for new product releases, sooo, not a Yes but not a No. I told them I reached out to Oracle asking the same thing and was told that they didn't plan to offer that anytime soon, if at all. Fingers crossed, I think it would be a really cool feature. I think for now I am going to try to do something similar with light strips, if I can figure it out and look good.

I got a skid plate kit from Ford that I put on yesterday & today. This is a must have if going off road in rocky terrain ,there are too many vulnerable spots on the bottom of the Bronco. I'm befuddled why this is not standard on the Sasquatch package. The plate that protects the transfer case is like 10 gauge, that's .145 thickness and its quite heavy. Fergybikes

I kinda finished blacking out my stockSquatch wheels.
Removed the rings, sanded painted and primed last week, and then today did a 5 tire rotation and replaced the stock lug nuts with some black ones.

The only bad news is that the stock lugs are smaller, and they didn't fully paint the rims at the factory, so you can see the raw wheel around the black lugs. Harrumph. Too lazy to solve that problem today - that's an issue for future me.

I did use the TPMS calibration scanner I got from amazon and proved it is working properly, so that was also gratifying.

That new bumper is very cool looking. Love the angular design. Looks like a win to me!!

Not pictured is a dash rail system by 67 Designs.

Over the next 3-6 months planning to add lighting (fog, ditch, rock, chase, roof bar), auxiliary electrical, winch bumper, cargo management, and onboard air.

Finally got my TrailRax roof rack installed that I received before my Bronco came in.
Added the DMOS shovel also but not sure about the location yet.

I put my catch can back on, installed Redline hood struts, put my mudflaps back on and gave it a good bath after wheeling yesterday! Busy day! No pictures because I am terrible at taking pictures. 🙄
