What did you do to your Bronco today?

Here is the part number for the tabbed nuts that Tim sent me. So much easier!

If I had only known about these a few weeks ago... 😂

Thanks for posting the part number..

Liking that metal cloak differential set up. And are those RCI shock/trailing arm skids?

They are the DV8s, I have DV8 rear shock skids, metal cloak diff cover and diff skid, and Stinky fab front lower a arm skids. Spreading the wealth. Lol
Not one place had everything I was looking for the way I wanted it.

My OCD is in a state of panic after reading this... 😂

Ordered Dobinson's coilovers.

Currently sitting in the waiting room for my Bronco to get its windshield replaced.

Was a yearly thing with my Jeeps so it is what it is..

Oh the joy..

LR shock has arrived! Will drop off tomorrow and hopefully all done by Wednesday!

Installed some Carbon Fiber. Tru Fiber overlays so no cheesy wrap nor overpriced panel replacements. Probably not everyone's cup of tea on a Bronco but I just hate the look of plastic. 1

It’s your cup of tea…enjoy it!

Glamorous stuff going on today! Time to change the oil and rotate the tires.

Much to my wife’s dismay, I took some time out of my vacation to northern lower Michigan to Install a set of dual Ford Performance (Rigid) Mirror Lights on my 2025 Heritage Edition Bronco with Sasquatch package. This was my first wiring job tapping into the “plug & play” Aux switches in the cab. While it was certainly not plug and play, I found the following attached references extremely helpful in figuring out the Bronco wiring scheme:

The video was especially helpful. The lights work great and I can’t wait to try them on the trail.

Enabled Starter interrupt via Perimeter Plus alarm. Didn’t realize it is an added feature beside the shock sensor.

Ok, huge sigh of relief! New suspension upgrades are complete. Bilstein 8112 DSA+ coil overs, Icon Tublar UCA’s and Icon XD tie rods. Along with an alignment. All four corners from ground to bottom of fender flairs are now at 40.5” rides excellent on road. Ran it over several rain drainage culverts in the road at 45-50 MPH and felt nothing. Over double train track crossing at 35 MPH and felt zip. we are doing a trail run with Arizona Bronco’s on Saturday for a test run and will adjust accordingly. So far so good and very happy with Shock Surplus hustling to find a replacement for a damaged LR shock. Can’t wait to get to Nevada at the end of next week and the Colorado at the end of August. Gained 3/4” in the rear and about 2 1/2” in front. The new UCA’s gave a little bump up. Staying with 35” tires. Last two photos are of stock suspension.

Nice! 👉 💪 💪 💪 👈

Not today, but lately.

I added an IAG I-line folding table with the slide out cutting board today.

If anyone is struggling with AC blower... I just had my 2023 2d BaseSquatch serviced due to low volume of air coming out of the dash registers and the air box (top box) needed replaced. Works great now

Got my skids on today. And had a few helpers too.

How do you like the MetalCloak Rear Diff skid plate? The only review of it on their web site suggests it is not a tight fit and rattles. Has this been your experience?

Finished my dash rail installation for my GMRS radio mic. Can’t wait to hit the trail tomorrow for our shakedown run!

Says on the photo it was taken March 2025..

Also, the RAM in the photo is now gone as it was traded last week for a 2025 Ford F150 SuperCab Lariat with the 3.5L PowerBoost engine.

Nice move on the pickup. The snow could be in the summer....don't forget we now live with global warming, colding, climate change, what ever...so there could be snow anytime.

Hmm mine was really tight fit but. The brackets tighten up as you tighten them but they only can go so far. I haven’t even driven it yet so I will tell you how it goes this weekend and I will have a long term test starting next Friday spending a week in the desert. I’ll report back.
