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.

Attached the hook side of black velcro to the bottom of things we like to have in the cargo area; cooler, tool kit, etc. The velcro holds nicely to the cargo bed floor (carpeted or what ever Ford calls that) and items don't tip over or slide around.

I know I'm way late to the party, but after 22 months (lol) I finally had a chance to remove the MIC top yesterday (after installing my lift mechanism last Sunday). I just want to give kudos to FoMoCo for such a well-designed top. I know Ford has received a lot of crap over the MIC, but I have always been impressed with it. My further experience with removal/re-installation yesterday, just reinforced my impressions of the MIC Top. It came off and went back on without a hitch. The alignment pins make the job quite easy, no fussing with bolt alignment as I was expecting.

Well done.

I took my top and doors off for the 1st time yesterday also . I've had the hoist mounted for a few months now over the Winter. It levels out right as it reaches the top of the roll bar but tilts with the roof pitch as it is lifted. Worked great.

Added a new half-rack from badass tents took the front panels off for the day

That's really nice. I had to take off the factory rails on our 4-dr to open the center top section. I like these half racks. Do you remove the back clamshell? If so, could you hoist the top and rails together?

Had the Foutz lower trailing arm skids installed. The front brackets had to be “massaged“ to get the new skids on. If you are planning to do any substantial off roading, I would suggest that you put your armor on first thing if possible. Especially for the lower trailing arms,(front and back) and the rear shock brackets. These take a lot of abuse.

Since the Moab trip, I've been shopping skids.
I saw everything that got kissed. trailing arms, rear shock mount and cross member.
I'm zeroing in on RCI for the both the cross member and rear track/shock.
What made you pick Foutz skids?

How's that phone arm attachment option working for you? is that the factory Ford mount screw/port or something else?

We have the same color Bronco inside/out as you. We got black and "tabasco" colored towels to keep in the cabin for whatever may happen.
3” lift and level with a little high lite for the knobs

Switched back to the (Bestop) soft top today. Us New Englanders have to wait a bit longer than the rest of you . Also added the Mabett Fuse Box Cover, and the Mabett Roll Bar Covers. The installation of the roll bar covers wasn't quite as simple as the instructions said...if you have the speaker pods, you have to remove the lower bolt and loosen the upper bolts to get the inside piece in place.

Well i traded in Bronco sport badlands for new 2023 bronco 2dr Badlands Sas

Good call! I have a big issue with the term "Bronco Sport" like I had back in the "Mustang II" days. They need completely different names. Congrats on joining the "real" Bronco family!😏

Installed a bucking horse that my son made for me on his 3D printer. Bucking the opposite way of the logo (couldn't find an STL file that looked like the Bronco logo). Per other advice on the forum, used a 1/4"-20 tripod screw and a 1/4" wood insert (similar to this, but I got mine from the assorted parts drawers at the hardware store) that I screwed into the bottom of the horse. Painted it with a purple-blue reflective paint that changes color as you change your viewing angle.
Note that Bronco Buddies has a smaller horse that looks like the logo and installs into dash mount.

I was going to say get a can of paint that matches your Ford color, but color changing paint is "way" cooler!!

Happy to oblige, @OrangecrushBronco! Looks great on the ceiling of your Bronco. 😎

I'm already working on more designs for Bronco Nation members. As we discussed, I'll be happy to work one up for you. For me, this isn't work. It's play. And it helps keep my design chops sharp, so it's a win-win.

Chris here. I drive a 2-door Velocity Blue 2023 Ford Bronco Badlands with Sasquatch, Lux, a 2.7L V6, and an automatic transmission. It’s fun.

So I do have the RCI shock/rear lower trailing arm skid combo along with the cross member skids. The front lower trailing arms I went with Foutz on a recommendation from Adam @Roughstock11. They are an excellent product. Difficult, if not impossible to install myself without a lift.

So how do I get one of those Moab Utah off Roadeo patches ? That looks cool.

The phone arm works great. Lots of articulation to get it just where you need it and it doesn't move around. Price was reasonable also. The BYOD rail is a cheap one from Mabett but it works well . I have no complaints with it but I did replace the double sided tape at the ends with my own .
