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.

A dream come true. Just installed 37โ€ Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T on Reika Rambler wheels. ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜



I think itโ€™s clear whoโ€™s gonna be the trail boss in Moab! ๐Ÿ˜‰

And those are KILLER wheels, sir!
Chris here. I drive a 2-door Velocity Blue 2023 Ford Bronco Badlands with Sasquatch, Lux, a 2.7L V6, and an automatic transmission. Itโ€™s fun.

Sheโ€™s almost dialed in for her big Moab debut in April. Iโ€™m heading to the Frost Bite event in Kansas at the end of the month to give her a proper shake out. Iโ€™m beyond excited!

I relocated my Black Diamond Stickers inside the door and replaced them with these chrome Bronco badges.

So stopped by HF yesterday and they had the Badland Apex on display just as I walk in the front door. Sign said "LIQUIDATION SALE" , so it's almost like they knew I drove a Badland and was coming in today . I take a look then go around to get what I came for , which was heat shrink ,wire loom and some other small electrical items that HF always has the best deals on. Then I see the "Apply and get 10% OFF EVERYTHING TODAY". OK , how do they know I just installed a winch mount last week ? This is getting spooky. So the Mgr walks by and I ask if that's the best deal for the winch and he says unless you're ex-military or a senior citizen. I love it when a plan comes together ...


Killer deal! Looks good sitting on there.
Which winch mount did you go with? Do you have adaptive cruise control? (looks high enough not to interfere with that).

Edit: actually now that I walked out and looked, it seems to be where the ACC is located, I was thinking of my F-150 maybe???

It is the winch mount from the Broaddict Amazon store. It appears to be a copy of the JCR mount. Both of them state it works with the adaptive cruise. I have the high pkg so that is just an empty box where the ACC supposed to be. I posted an install video a few pages back.

My Christmas present finally got here. What a pain when the only trust worthy tire shop is 35 miles away.

Seems like it took forever, but all my RCI parts have arrived!
Next up, work on getting them installed, then go slide over some rocks in Bridgeport. ;-)

LOL - That's quite the skid pile!! While visiting RCI, I asked about blue loctite. Scott suggested no thread lock, but using an anti-seize instead. I'm using this high temp copper based version. Probably don't need high temp, it's what I have on-hand to use on rifle barrel mounts.

Gotta say these skid bolts torque up nicely with this stuff though. Keep your impact driver bats fresh - You're good to go..

Cheers

I took advantage of the wife saying, just go ahead and order it all now at the same time. :-)
She still wants a winch too!

Installed an ARB air compressor with the Grimm Offroad engine bay mount. Not a bad install at all, but I had to remove the passenger side hood strut to make it fit.

Went to the hills with a group with the purpose of splashing through puddles. Especially a group three of them in a row. Lots of pics and vids were taken here's a few pics. I tell ya, that HOSS 3.0 is all it's cracked up to be. It gets to just floating over the pot holes and rocks when you up the speed a little. ;)


I am not the leader. I just like to go first.

Definitely agree with the HOSS3.0โ€ฆ been on several roads that are maintained only by mother nature and the joy they bring jockeying the Wildtrack!

Tested out my new EZ Flate 4-tire system with the ARB compressor. Filled all 4 37โ€ tires from 15 to 34 psi in 6 minutes 20 seconds. I went with the coil system so itโ€™s easier to store.

It looks like I purposely color matched the air hoses with my Velocity Blue Bronco and Amber Heretic lights. Gosh, what a coincidence. ๐Ÿ˜

I thought you did some fancy editing to change everything in the photo to black and white except the compressor, and then I realized that the rest of the engine just has a nice dirt patina!1707072864709.png

Do you find that the EZ flate fitting where the gauge is gets hot?

No, but where it plugs into the compressor got super hot. Too hot to touch. Had to let it cool for a minute.
