A cool shot would be to have that travel trailer hitched up to the BS!I got a 1 1/2" lift, Cooper Discoverer Road and Trail A/T 245/65/17, New wheels, New roof rack bars and EGR bug shield. Oh and side vent turn signals!![]()
The only thing that is on that I don't approve of is during a trip to Idaho last week, rocks caused the cracked windshield and 3 small chips in the hood, hence the bug deflector. New windshield next week. ???

Nice enhancements! Thanks for sharing with us.It was a perfect morning to wash the little 2023 Bronco Sport Big Bend, and review mods / accessories. I’m not the type to do major mods, however I have enjoyed personalizing the BS to make it a bit more functional and to appease my aesthetic sensibilities!

I recommend retorquing the lugnuts after 100 miles or so. I do this after every tire rotation and they always need it. Cheers!I replaced the factory 2 piece lugs nut today with chrome one piece. It took all of 10 minutes including torquing the new lug nuts. Got to love electric impact wrenches. And no didn't tighten them with the impact, just removed the old ones. By the way anyone need a set of 2 piece lugs nut, they are free to a good home.
Thanks for the advice, I always retorque as soon as I get home from getting new tires and then 50 to 100 miles latter. As was the phrase of the day during the cold war, Trust but Verify.I recommend retorquing the lugnuts after 100 miles or so. I do this after every tire rotation and they always need it. Cheers!
So you're one of those guys that takes your New Vehicle to Car Shows and Car Cruises.Finished spiffing him up for his first Cruise Night/Car Show tonight. ?

Among other things, yes, we enjoy allowing other people to appreciate our vehicles & the time, money, & efforts we put into them. Admittedly, our BS is almost entirely a Pavement Princess, but since we’re both now in our 70’s, even looking good on the pavement can be a real chore at times.So you're one of those guys that takes your New Vehicle to Car Shows and Car Cruises.
I just don't get taking newer cars to car shows unless it's a car that's rare. I'll go to Car Dealerships if i want to see newer cars. But it sounds like you have fun showing your BS at them so i guess that's all that matters.Among other things, yes, we enjoy allowing other people to appreciate our vehicles & the time, money, & efforts we put into them.

We use our Bronco as our daily driver, & have logged many cross country miles in our last couple of years of ownership too. Loving every bit of our Bronco experience thus far. Thanks for commenting. ???
Well, it was parked right next to our 2002 GT Mustang convertible. ?I just don't get taking newer cars to car shows unless it's a car that's rare. I'll go to Car Dealerships if i want to see newer cars. But it sounds like you have fun showing your BS at them so i guess that's all that matters.

Have you encountered any issues keeping the 225/65? I wanted to lift mine but was afraid that I needed to upgrade my tires and wheels when I wanted to install a liftInstalled the Fordrangerlifts 1.75" Badlands lift over the course of two days. I'll get new tires and or rims eventually. Great product, great install video, i'm my own worst enemy, you can read more about it on my build thread![]()
