What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[davidb1841]

Today I FINALLY got my gloss black tuffskinz for the rear hatch. I think they look like Ford did them....really makes it pop. I especially like the way the white letters underneath outline all the black. I am super happy!

This was super easy to do also!

Finished installing the lift kit and had an alignment done. Ford didn't want to provide the alignment specs saying it was proprietary info and i should have the bs towed to the dealership.... i found the specs i needed a different way but it caused some delays.

Was that alignment done under warranty? I think I saw Ford covers alignment for 12 months, 12k miles on a new Ford. I was thinking of having them check mine during my first oil change. It feels like it's driving fine but now that I think of it, I usually have lane keeping assist turned on.

That looks pretty good! I might do that on my Oxford White BS. The letters just blend in and it looks like they didn't think that through. Where did you find them?

They don't because i lifted it and replaced the way bar links. therwise they would have.

I finally had some days off and took it out of town to run some errands. I tried going to the beach but apparently there was high tide and the Gulf was up to the road. I didn't want to risk it... but it could've been fun!

I did run it through Quick Quack wash to get all the sand and sea I did get on it. It hasn't been washed since I bought it. I really hate to hand wash (it's hard for me to find the time and I really don't have a good place at home) but I don't want to mess up the paint going through those car washes. From the reviews I read, Quick Quack should be one of the better ones, at least the one I went to. The car washes in town are junky and don't work.

Ford is really dropping the ball here by keeping the info "secret". Sometimes towing isn't an option and I honestly didn't want to wait 1 week to get an appointment for this to be done and meanwhile wearing out my brand new tires.

Get a Better Dealer

I wish it was that easy but after calling 4 different dealers and getting turned down on all of them.... Doesn't leave me with a lot of options....

In something that I'm sure wasn't worth the money or effort (the swap isn't quick... You need to remove many dash pieces to get it out), I bought the temperature controls from a 2021 BS BL (that have the temperatures on a small displays within the dials) and put it in my 23 BS BL (which lacked those displays on the dials).

Pain in the rear, but happy that myself and any front seat passengers will be able to see the set temp without fiddling with the knobs so it pops up on the Sync 3 screen instead. I spend 99.99% of the time in Apple Carplay so the temp doesn't display on the screen all the time.

Well been a little busy today, installed my 4 Ford Mudflaps, the rears you can just install after removing the push pins. The fronts not so much, you have to drill 3. 1/4 inch holes on each side. to install the fronts. Then after I was done with that I installed the hood struts.

Just spent 4.5 hours giving it a very detailed wash and wax. Wanted to be thorough since our new home doesn't have a garage and it's living outside 24/7 now. It's very very shiny. Tomorrow, I do the interior!

Also got my first oil change today at 5k miles.

Added a little flair to Juice today. Got the obligatory fender script badges and horsey on the tailgate. Also replaced the valve stem covers thanks to the idea from another forum member. Going by local Ford dealer tomorrow to order a Aeroskin II.

Today was "paint the tow hooks" day.
They need a little more touch-up, but way better than black.

Looks good! Nice job working around the bar

It was a little scary, to say the least. Red spray paint wouldn't be very forgiving.
I really wanted to get them powder coated, but that would be a huge pain and expense. A $10 can of paint did the trick for now.

Do you plan on getting a spoiler? I’m curious how they’ll look on the white BSs. I was considering the grey one to match the grill… at least I think it should.

Back again from a bit of hiatus.

Really haven't been doing a whole lot with our Badlands other than enjoying it.

But one thing that I have been contemplating was installing JcrOffroad's Catalytic Converter Skid Plate as between wanting to get out onto more of the trails around Big Sur and the Central Coast as well as (sadly) cat theft definitely being a thing around here, it was next on my wish list of mods.

Ordered it when it went on sale (and I believe it still is), took about a month to get. Installation is definitely doable in a driveway or garage.
