How is the adhesive? I've tried multiple aftermarket ones due to how much cheaper they are. They have been very disappointing though due to the adhesive wearing off rather quickly.Put the Ford, rear bumper protectors on both BSs.

That’s my plan and I don’t doubt it won’t change. I’m trying to chase the elusive 30 mpg that everyone says they get. It’s a data driven experiment. ?
Yeah, I’m one of the lucky ones in my 23 OBX with original Michelin's on. I always get well over 30 on my long highway trips. Cruise control most of the time set at 65-70 max. Sometimes I remember to do Eco but mostly Normal mode.

It's a pretty strong adhesive. Time will tell.
It's all about the surface preparation, though. You gotta get all the wax and oil off the bumper.
21,800 miles and got a fast blink. Changed a rear brake light bulb to solve it. Considering how much of that mileage was open highway, that's really poor bulb life IMO. Luckily I already had a 3157 in the drawer. Boo to Ford for making the rear lights come out with those spring clips.
Anyone that hasn't had to do this, it's easy and you can find how to videos. But you have to pry off the rubber trim piece between the light and hatch(with the metal clips), then take off two 10mm nuts holding the light assembly that come set from the factory at seven ugga duggas. Don't even reach for a nutdriver. I had to put it away and get a 1/2" socket and extension. The light pulls out from the outer body side with two more pushpin assemblies.

I've been wanting to do this since I bought the Bronco. I painted the rear aluminum looking struts black. (What do you call those anyway?) They always made the truck look cheap. Now I'm happy. Picture with left side painted and right side the old way for comparison.
Also shows darkened reflector lights and darkened top rear brake light.
Oh, and a side-note. I paid off the Bronco today. Now I'm really happy.

Added sticker from Moab Off Roadeo, and activated inclinometer screen on driver display (which I had seen a photo of somewhere and learned where it was in menu system at Off Roadeo-- see you learn stuff there!).
Right here it shows 9 degree lean angle, that was parking off pavement at Canyonlands NP, which was pretty crowded all day yesterday due to the eclipse.
During the Off Roadeo we hit 15 degrees off vertical. That seemed pretty impressive to me, but our trail guide said Ford had tested it and told the guides the Sport can handle 30 degrees off vertical-YMMV!!!*
*Forward looking statement, past performance is no guarantee of future profits, etc etc.

Everyone has different driving habits. My experience recently is not many people drive <75-80 on interstates.
I guess that depends on where one drives. Route 80 across NJ where the speed limit is 65, cars doing 75-80 eastbound is not unusual. The parallel highway in NJ, Route 78, people drive closer to the 65 mph limit. Route 80 across Pennsylvania: people seem to drive at the limits, which vary in regions from 55 to 70. Similarly in Ohio. Perhaps it depends on how much law enforcement is present.
