What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[dakman]

Why did you have to modify the light mounting? Are the lights to deep to use the original mounting built into the light bar?

Exactly. The bar has threaded holes for mounting the lights and can be mounted with the lights up or down. When down there is not a lot of clearance between the lights and bumper. I either needed to poke holes in my bumper cover for the back of the lights (wire harness) to sit in or extend them out some. The lights protrude just a little out front giving it that little machine gun look. I wanted these lights because I use them mostly for the amber back lights and if I ever need some nice bights just flip the switch.

My Dad was stationed in North Dakota for a couple of years when I was growing up, and I was stationed in both North & South Dakota for nearly 8 years of my 20-year stint in the USAF, so I feel ya.

I was getting dressed in the locker room at the gym at Scott AFB (near St. Louis) shortly after retiring from the USAF. The forecast high for the day was 9°F. This was in November. A couple of other fellows were complaining about the cold. I had just come from two years in Grand Forks, ND, and I couldn't help but chuckle about their whining. One of them looked at me and said, "What, you don't think this is cold?"

"No," I said, "it's cold, but it's nothing to complain about. Now, if it was 9°F in November and you knew this would be the highest temperature you could expect until March? THEN you can complain."

yeah we are pretty close to the emerson border crossing, so if you lived in ND you def feel our pain here with the weather. on the flipside, the summer gets really hot .... only 6 months away ...

and thank you for your service!

Here you go: https://www.f150leds.com/collections/2021-ford-bronco/products/ford-bronco-raptor-style-extreme-amber-led-grill-kit

Be warned that I had to custom install this in the upper “Closed” grill section since it’s for a full size bronco grill.

It’ll install easy if you want to put them in the “Open” grill section below the “BRONCO” letters.

If you want the above like mine, then you’ll have to do some drilling and splicing of wires. I drilled 1/4” holes for the wires then cut them to fish them through the holes. Then spliced them back together, so there pretty permanent now plus way more secure on the grill. You’ll have to carefully count the honeycomb like sections to find perfect center for each first and mark things off with some painters tape. I also used my own 3M low profile 30lb rating two sided tape for added insurance, but keep in mind to dry fit several times before sticking down.

Also, the drivers light “large/thick brown wire is the running light wire to splice into for power and then ran the black wire to the drivers side Negative frame mount post bolt.

Good Luck!

Really wasn’t today, but last week with a really great Discount Tire Labor Day sale.
235/60R-18 BFG Trail Terrain T/A

Steers easier than the OEM Michelins, a little “firmer” but not rough, don’t really notice any noise increase.

Where did you get the Bronco side reflector covers? They look nice. I was about to go with just the tinted, but these have some character.

 

[BadlandsBear]

TECHNICALLY I didn't do anything to my bronco today other than drive it to work, but these did come FedEx today! Really tempted to put them on the stock tires but holding out to see if I can get a new set in 245/65R17 on a holiday sale later this month.

From an Etsy seller, think about $8.00 or so in the mail box. Go to Etsy.com & search on Bronco Sport.

 

[CrazyKZ]

Oh, yea...I always forget about Etsy. Thank you!

Second oil change on the 1.5, just rolled over 8k miles, first change was at 3k. Installed a Fumoto F106S oil drain valve. Been using these things for years. Usually changing oil every 2.5 - 3 months, lots of miles for work. Ford synthetic blend with a fl910s filter.

On my first edition 22 months old , added some running lights up front by ORACLE LIGHTING , THE ONES I PICKED OUT ARE A PERFECT FIT . My model is the badlands grille ,

 

[Jrl]

New running lights upfront.

 

[Elegance]

I'm literally counting down the minutes until it gets dark so I can see my Bronco in all its newfound glory. Installed my Oracle LED letters and painted the tow hooks to match the Badlands emblem while the front end was off anyway.

 

[CrazyKZ]

Nice! But it’s not dark yet….
