What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[Meanderthal]

Finally got a chance to install the rear sway bar. In theory it's a super easy install. In reality, getting the oem bar out and the steeda bar in is a real PITA; unless you disconnect the drive shaft. I decided to leave the drive shaft alone. Several hours later, after lots of hand nicks, some sledge hammering, metal on metal surface damage and lots of four letter words, I was able to get the steeda bar on. The geometry of the bar and the tight space is just a bad combo. Thank goodness the bar is under the car and not visible because it definitely no longer looks new. Alas, I got it installed and will update you once I take it for a test drive. Here are some before and after shots, whatever I could manage anyway.

They appear to be the same diameter. Is the Steeda supposed to be stiffer or softer?

Youch. Sounds painful. Glad you got it in before having to take out the shaft. Here's hoping the drive is better with all the effort you put in!

The heat shield has very sharp edges

I noticed that as well. It's supposed to be stiffer but the biggest change is the ability to change the end link position on the steeda bar. I'm guessing it increases stiffness due to increased resistance of the bar thus reducing twisting on the bar itself and thus less movement in rear wheels relative to each other.

Added light covers to my Baja Designs lights to help protect against all the debris kicked up or off dump trucks on the roads these days.

Got this today from Amazon for $15, it has the ring around the neck so it hangs there while filling up.

For a minute there I thought this might be another part Ford left off to save money.

Installed HRG molle panel. Easy install and seems pretty solid

Hitch wiring finally arrived & installed - so added a 4th brake light - lights up for brake - 4 way - turn signals and park lights.

I hate to be a pain in the ass, but could you please take some more pictures of this? Most specifically, from the outside and from the hatch. I think this looks likes it fits my needs but I’m having a hard time visualizing from this pic.

Awesome! Which wiring harness did you end up installing?

OEM Ford and Dealership install.

OEM Ford and Dealership install.

That’s exactly the route I want to go as well. If you don’t mind my asking, how much did that cost where your at?

From original purchase the service order shows 1 hour labor hitch and wiring @ $120 an hour. Trailer hitch kit @ $220.

The wiring kit should be a separate parts price.

But no additional charge to me this week for the parts or install. Dealing with a the small town dealership. *PRICELESS*

They had it all day - looks like they have to take things apart in the back cargo area to get it wired.

Overall the dealership has been very fair - free window tint when transport didn't show in 2 weeks as they expected - $600 tire credit for the take-off tires.

Gave the baby Bronco a bath today. I also think this is the first time I’ve posted her in this thread so I guess I’ll mention the script emblem on the side, the red vinyl “R” on the front grill and back hatch which I think pops really nice on the blue, and lastly the BFG KO2s (245/65).

My favorite story to tell is the mechanic who installed the tires had a full size Bronco and when he saw how good the KO2s looked on the BS he said “If the sport would have came with those wheels stock I would have been very inclined to get that instead of the full size.”

Okay. I’ve seen this a few times, but admittedly, I don’t know what the significance is of the red R. Can you please inform me? I have a thought or two, but I just may be a little too political on one & maybe too race minded on the other. ??

Hey. Kinda like that ring. I’ve just been putting my ringless version in my pocket so I don’t drive off without it! ?

I applaud your front plate space filler choice. Looks great! Unfortunately, I live in a state that requires tags front & back, and they can be sticklers. Got a warning ticket on my Mustang after the Cobra front cover was installed, so I hadda fabricate a tag mounting bracket. ?

 

[Dude]

don’t know what the significance of the red R
