What did you do to your Bronco today?

I see you mentioned the Dewalt Heat Gun. Im assuming you use that to adhere the new badges. I had NO idea. Is there a tutorial you can point me to? Thank you.

The heat gun helps with removing the old badges, not needed for application of the new. The heat just loosens the adhesive so they pull right off, but don't do so much that the badge becomes too hot to touch. If it's too hot for your fingers, it's too hot for your Bronco's paint job :)

Also, as a DeWalt distributor, I will say the DeWalt heat gun is indisputably the best tool for the job, but as a Bronco enthusiast I want to let you know your wife's hair dryer would be adequate! ;)

I put the Mabett seat protectors in the back of my Bronco. What can I say? It was a long day at work, and I'm half-assing it tonight, time for bed...

Looking forward to seeing what they look like installed. Had them on all my Subies. Saved myself from a few spills on more than one occasion!

I like those. I need something for the back of the two front seats. My little one has dirty feet that like to grum up the back of the seat.

Ok, couldn't quite bring myself to call it a night. I vacuumed up the dog hair from the seat backs and slapped them on. Ease of installation gets a 10/10, fit/finish 9.5/10 (you gotta look close to tell it's not a perfect fit, but it's pretty dang good), durability/protection feels like a 10/10, time will tell...

Installed the ROAM Rambler hardshell rooftop tent and Oracle fog lights (wired to Aux 1).

Looks absolutely amazing, such a good job.

Looks great! Which Bronco lettering are those you have on the sides? Looks 80's era? Would you have a link handy for them? Love it, thanks!

Hey! Thanks...and yes, they are the 80's original fender badges. I found them on eBay actually...original and in perfect condition. I am sure you can find some on there still. I received the F-O-R-D letters that I will be putting on the front of my hood like the 79/80 Bronco which I am excited about! I'll post pics once that is done. Good luck with your search!

Did the ones you bought have clips or were they adhesive?

They had the clips but I cut them off, filled the back and used adhesive tape.

I was hoping they could just be cut off, so good to know.

Installed my RokBlokz mud flaps, redline hood struts, IAG Performance soft top rear hatch strut, and my Bronco LED shop Raptor lights.

I have read members putting the Redline hood struts or the IAG hood struts on. Why did you all choose the Redline ones over IAG?

Has anyone put the IAG Performance soft top assist on? If so, what are your thoughts?

Great product. No issues at all during install and super convenient assist on the lift

Definitely agree. Would recommend adding them. Makes lifting the back so much easier and you don't have to worry about the kick stand

I can't say anything, I've already got plenty of scratches on my 2k mile Bronco, although mostly underneath and on the inside of the tailgate

Mine are on the inside of the tailgate too along with some rock chips on the drivers side door, and, mainly,. on the mirrors where the bushes lining the trails have got them.

I added some dirt, and a few scratches on the mirror doing what the Bronco was made to do...

I met a guy locally who installed the redline struts and was happy with them. I bought a set on Amazon and didn't feel good about the quality that I received in a no name brand so I returned them and saw additional good reviews on the redline struts so I went for it based on that. Zero regret.

Accessories! My brother makes fun of me, because at the office, I get a package, and he says “more accessories”!

I ordered some 6” Velcro from Amazon to put on the fiberglass header panel for the soft top to affix some patches to.

I ordered a RAM mount 1” Ball T to fit in the center section of my phone holder (see page 1 of this thread) so I can mount my GMRS Radio handset.

I got a new Diode Dynamics wiring harness….. I was hoping some “professionals” could clean up some wiring. So now I’m redoing it.

I got my JCR Rear Quarter Molle Panels installed and some items attached. Knife, handheld GMRS extras, a couple pouches with bungees, and I have a roll of shop towels hanging from it.

And I got a RC Thimble Shackle installed on my winch line, tying up that project.

This weekend I plan on removing the Rotopax mount, adding some locktite, and removing the JL CB bracket I installed for the WeBoost Antenna and moving it to the Rotopax mount I welded onto the Rough Country Tailgate Reinforcement, and I plan on changing out the RC Hardware for some stainless pieces.

I plan on reinstalling the Tuffy Drawer with my fridge slide as well, as Thursday I am having the 12v in the rear fixed under warranty. Organizing the drawer is a project in and of itself, now that I have the Molle Panels to affix things too.

I got the DesertDoesIt seat jacker and the seat mounted molle panel coming, and my roof rack will be shipping by the end of the month. 

I am hoping that by Mid October - most of my original idea will be complete (of course with some of the added things), but I’ll have the Overland Concept I thought of when I first reserved it.

Oh, and I need to figure out where to install an air tank.
