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.

I put on the mabett seat covers this morning. I really like them.Even with my dainty hands it was a bitch sometimes

I wanted these… but I thought I’d die trying to install a cheap set from autozone. Wonder if Ford would install.

I finally got around to installing lights. I bought the amber SS3 from Diode Dynamics a while back then bought some some Ssc2 lights at their open house. I decided to mount all on the A-pillars. I used the harnesses from Diode mounted on Bodyguard A-pillar mounts. It was a challenge getting it all to fit but so happy with the result. Shout out to Diode for their help with getting the wiring configuration right. The lights have a back-lit feature for regular driving plus I got the amber for fog and the ditch lights in white.

"Modeled" my new dune flag from HANDY FLAG. I love it!

Now I just have to take this beast ONTO the dunes. Sporting it in the city is just antithetical. 😝

Looking good brother! IMHO DD makes great products. Completely outfitted my ‘05 F150 several years ago and were still going strong when I sold her recently. Excellent warranty and service. And made in the USA.

Yup and for me it's right down the road. I can just go down and pick them up.

Finally purchased and got around to installing Sassy's 4k front and rear dash cams today. Used the Dongar adapter jumper in dimming rear view mirror to power it. Cams turn on when you touch start button and turn off when shut it down. Also installed overlays to sun visors to cover the obnoxious warning labels no one ever read.

Definitely on my wish list, especially because I cannot stop watching car crash videos on YouTube! Seems like a worthwhile investment.

Do you have a link for the visor warning labels overlays? They look nice.

I changed the oil and rotated the tires on my 2.3 Bronco this weekend. It took me a little while to get the tires rotated because my grandkids were around, and I put a tire in the wrong place several times. A bit of a pain when all you have is a floor jack and these 34.5" tires to move around.

I pulled the driver's side tire to help get the filter, and even then, it was a pain in the ass due to the fender liner and the location of brackets for the brake line and sensor harness. My god Ford, couldn't you have moved that an inch to the front and give us a bone?

With the right tool, this would have been easy, but I didn't have the right tool. It chewed up my arm, about as well as changing the passenger side spark plugs on my 93 thunderbird sc.

I also installed a MAIKER Tailgate Table I picked up off Amazon. Most others are single shelves, and I like the idea of two shelves in this one. Installation was pretty easy, though I broke two tabs off the plastic insert that I removed to install this. Generally, it's decent quality and should work well. It includes adjustable stops that are there to help reduce noise from it when closed. The clips, though, are low quality and seem smaller than they should be in this area. They are also riveted in and don't look that great. There seems to be enough material around there to replace it with something stronger if needed.

I work in city government and a primary driver and installed one in my work truck for my own protection in the event an accident happens. I could make you tube videos galore with footage of close calls on duty. Constantly bleeping in the cab "Don't do it bro".

Relocated the Hi-Lift from the front bumper to the rear rack. Taking that 35 lbs off the the front end stopped the diving while braking that was going on since the aftermarket bumper and winch are out there as well.

I really wish the aftermarket would have some options for replacement front springs that give similar to factory ride quality but just support the extra weight as we add accessories. I get that lifting is the big draw, but many broncos come high enough already.

I would also look into Old Man Emu medium springs which should be rated for the additional weight. I haven't tried this myself, but they are an example of just swapping out the springs to address this issue. https://www.extremeterrain.com/old-...4SUOSc3nKkGaXuZ42asaAnhREALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
