What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[CrazyKZ]

Today I ordered a Shackle hitch receiver from Ambull and a license plate frame from Etsy and paid 50 cents to transfer my personalized plates to my Bronco. It's the little things that count sometimes. I also put "tire wet" on my Mickey Thompsons to give them that new wheel shine.

Inspired by this site. Very happy with it... Thanks so much for the inspiration!

After 5 hours of fumbling around i've successfully installed interior footwell accent lighting front and rear, blackout front "Bronco" caps and Diode Dynamics Front Fog light replacements with amber backlight running lights.

How do you feel the Thules do for noise? I have the same ones and I feel they are noisy (compared to how the bars were on previous vehicles) but I haven't had a different bar set on the car to compare.

Drove a couple hours today on the highway. It’s about the same as the OEM bars. I didn’t notice a difference one way or another.

That's good to know, thanks! I will say that the Rapid Crossroad feet do keep the rack surprisingly secure given its a rubber strap.

I appreciate you checking that out and posting back!

It’s actually a rubber coated steel strap. It’s definitely sturdy once you tighten it down.

Got my RC Nudge Bar installed with Audexen 7” 3-way LEDs
Raptor Trim Under Grille Accent Lights

RC 1.5” Level/Lift
Side vent LED signal markers (replaces the plastic vent clip-ins in front of driver/passenger door)

Looks good! I'm getting my nudge bar installed this weekend with the 4 RC rounds and we'll see how the CoPilot Assist 360+ works with those. (It looks like you have that on your BS too.) If it doesn't work, I'm assuming the two rounds work good then.

I can't tell from your picture how you mounted the two rounds to the nudge bar. Did you do some kind of fabrication to mount them?

What I did today:
Installed the AMBULL D-ring shackle.

Now I guess I need a tow strap if I'm ever going to use that thing. Any recommendations?

I'd recommend a high quality kinetic energy rope, to go with those KICK A$$ tires, like a Bubba Rope or a Yankum Rope. You will want a 3/4" -7/8" diameter and 20-30' long. I think "Matt's Off Road Recovery" uses a re-branded Yankum with a different color, yellow. You will want to get a couple of soft shackles, as well.
I sort of cheaped out and got this but I haven't needed it yet, though I have used my Heavy duty come-along once and my traction Boards several times. https://www.amazon.com/Miolle-Recovery-19000lbs-Shackles-Snowmobile/dp/B0891W9BRK?ref_=ast_sto_dp

The DRL lights were not available from RC when I ordered the bar, so I found these on Amazon. They do not interfere with the CoPilot sensors at all.

I used a combo of the mounting hardware that came with the 7” rounds from Amazon and the hardware that came with the RC lightbar they sent me instead of the 4x DRL rounds. But, there wasn’t enough clearance to fit the lights within the nudge bar frame itself, so I got some steel brackets and dropped them out about 45 degrees and they fit perfectly.

That description and picture helps! I'll have to go your route if the 4 rounds cause any issues. It seems that no one really knows.

glad to help! I wish I could give you an answer on if the 4 RC lights block the sensor or not. But I do know that there is a sensor re-location mount on the market as well.

also keep in mind front license plate (if applicable). I know there are separate relocation mounts for that too after installing the nudge bar. I ended up removing OEM and then riveting it to the bottom of the nudge bar instead of getting a new mount/bracket.

Really? I didn't know that about a re-location mount. Can you share what you know about that? I often wondered about that. Just needs to be pushed out in line of the bar and all should work. Surely I am not the first person to have this need.

I also couldn't tell from your picture if there are two light brackets that are just blank...or perhaps your license plate covers those. Texas is iffy with the front plate laws. I often don't have one. Shhh

The nudge bar has 4 mounts, I used the outside mounts for my 2 lights.

my front license plate - I drilled 2 holes in the front of the nudge barjust so I could take the OEM plate holder and rivet it on. About 2 inches of the mount raises above the bar, while the rest hangs below.

let me find the post about the sensor relocating bracket and I’ll post it for you

RainX wipers. I do not recommend Michelin front wipers. Felt like 2 rags dragging across my windshield.
