What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[SenzeiReese]

My last vehicle I had a light Batman theme that brought joy each time I walked up to it. I like the small additions that aren't in your face.

Doing the same here. The color scheme felt more like Cap, so that's where I'm going with it. I thought the trim badges felt cheap already, so removing them and going with the shield was an easy choice. Still cheap, but something I actually like instead.

I installed my H&R springs. Just need to get it aligned.

How is the ride with those? Mine are ordered; just awaiting their arrival.

Did this. So glad I did.

Sweet! OK I have to ask, because I’ve collected a few parts already for a Cap theme… (though given I ordered silver, it could be any theme). What are those center caps? Just a decal over the factory ones? That’s awesomely subtle.

They're pretty cheap vinyl stickers with a few millimeters of clear resin on top of them that a friend found online. I was searching for a hard plastic replacement and wasn't having luck, but apparently those were $10 on Amazon and I threw them on while I hold out for something a bit more durable.

They overly on the Bronco logo caps, but you can tell it's sitting on something. I popped the larger plastic off the rim, heated up the middle with a heat gun (thanks to a suggestion on this forum) and pulled off the surprisingly thin metal bronco cap. Hot glue gun and now they sit pretty flush.

They're probably easy to pull off, but then, the original caps came off in less than 5 minutes of work. The subtle additions are my favorite.

Today I disconnect my B&O “Subwoofer” and hooked up and Rocksville 8” Spare Tire Subwoofer and it makes a huge difference! Totally recommend it!

Awesome work! Subtle indeed, they work great. I’m not sure I’d have the patience to get them as flush as you did.

Stiffens things up a bit. I quite like it honestly. Makes it seem a little more planted on the road.

That is too bad. I was hoping for the opposite.

Are those 245/65/16s?
Assume the cargo cover does not fit flat now?

245/65 17. It fits flat, but sticks up about 1 cm or so.

You could add some backer rod and sealant to the outside edges / gap areas in the liner too. I noticed lots of dirt coming through into the engine bay.

Wow, you've stumbled into the secret project I have been working on! I hate how much crud comes in through the gaps in those things. I picked up some 3/8" backer and I'm putting it up under the plastic not-flares between the wheel liner and the plastic. It seems to stay in really well but I'm too chicken to use liquid nails or caulk and too chicken to just leave it pressed in and call it good. I have been trying to use Flextape to improve the seal but that stuff is hard to work with. Unless you're building a screen door boat I guess. Black duct tape will just turn brittle and break off.

Then I decided I need to take the rear liners out so I can clean first, because I'm 1000% sure there's beach sand and organic debris up there. The passenger front too, because the wash bottle blocks access. That's added enough complexity to the project that it really got back-burner'd.

Have you actually rigged up a seal? Be interested to see a pic of what you achieved.

I started the project but still need to finish it this weekend. You can use duct tape just spray bed liner over it. Paint bed liner on the felt wheel wells too. Water and dirt won’t be able to penetrate it anymore and will stay 10 times cleaner.

How did the wring go for this sub? Fairly simple?

Fairly easy in my opinion. All you do is access the factory 6x9 sub and tap into it with a Line Output Converter. Once that’s done just run your power wire, find a good ground, and leave the factory sub disconnected and enjoy clean/deep bass. Sounds 1000x better now. Makes the B&O on my F150 sound weak. Lol
