What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[MNBronco]

Installed the Redline gas springs for the hood. Without them I would let the hood drop the last few inches to close tight on it's own. I'll have to keep a clean microfiber cloth handy for closing now (to avoid smudging the hood).

What did I do to my Bronco today?
As always I kissed it good morning. Then, a bit later, I drove it to and from the library.
Until the temperature humidity index stays below 100 degrees here in North Carolina, my exciting life remains on hold. ?

What’s a library? ?

A library is the place where one goes to read Popular Science , Popular Mechanics, that one used to subscribe via Publishers Clearing House. Also to read newspapers so one doesn't have to pay for a subscription and deal with bundlng them for recycling pickup.

Back at it with stubborn intentions I decided it was time for a win, and sitting on my kitchen counter for 2 months has been a 30mm deep socket impact socket head (one of the few times I was able to predict a problem ahead of time) so it was officially time to remove the tow hooks, and for once things went well. All I had to do was remove 4 two-stage plastic fasteners in both wheel well in order to pull the wheel well liner out enough to reach the 30mm bolt on the back of the two tow hooks. Rear mega bolt off, all that was left were the two bolts right at the front of each hook, easily reachable through the opening for the hooks, however there isn't a ton of space to use a ratcheting socket or a ratcheting wrench, but I was technically making progress it was just slow, and loud, because the wrench was ringing the hook like a dinner bell.

Day 2 with a very short list. Put the hooks back on after a paint job. Two layers or rattlecan followed by sanding followed by a final layer of rattlecan. Install was as annoying as taking them off as there is little to no room to work on the two front bolts on each side but I'm happy with the results. Bonus picture of all the O.E. pieces removed from the S&B Intake install

Heck yeah, tow hook twins!

I so want to do this to my tow hooks. I have all the time, just not sure about the motivation. I don’t think the prep and painting will be a problem. It’s the removing them and putting them back on.

For my what did I do today, I installed the Tectico side/turn lights. The hardest step was removing the OEM plates. Fortunately I have small hands. Unfortunately I don’t have great grip strength. I tested function before final snap in. I still need to cover some wires, but I need more wrap for that.
Thank you to whoever created the first harness. I’m sorry I’ve forgotten who it was, but your photos saved my install with the Tectico harness.

Next project will either be grill lights or hard wiring the dash (front and rear) cameras.

I didn't want to remove them either. Just paint them while they are still on. Takes ten minutes to make sure you've got them isolated.

It will take me ten minutes to get down on the ground and another 30 to get back up. I think I’ll have a friend assist with the removal. I would be interested in finding out what brand/color you used. Horse n Buggy too. I know Kris had hers done by the paint shop when her bumper was off for her light install.

I'd genuinely consider calling around to a few body shops to see if they'll do it for you. I paid $50 for them to paint mine, I'm sure removal wouldn't have been much more. Yeah, they look good, but not at the cost of potentially hurting yourself.

I wouldn’t hurt myself and it might not take as long as I estimated. I’m still adjusting to a weight loss and aging. If I can find someone, I prefer that option. ?

Today I dropped mine off for rustproofing. I miss her already!

I got this hitch light kit from Amazon.
