What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[kenmitch]

When I hit the trail last week, I lost cell reception and my map. I did come across a fork or two in the trail, but managed to stay on course. I decided I'll take no chances next time and opted for a tablet with built-in GPS. Maybe they all have GPS now? I haven't bought a tablet in forever....lol

The tablet has 256GB's of storage so I've been downloading low-res maps of most of Southern and Central California, parts of Nevada and Utah, all the way to Bronco Off-Roadeo so far. The areas with trails I might try in the future, I've downloaded higher-resolution maps.

I'll probably have to rethink the mount as it might not be sturdy enough. It was an Amazon used, like-new offering and cheap, so worst case, I'll give it to my granddaughter to use with her tablet.

I'm pretty happy with this one for functionality and build quality: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D571YPSX?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Tired of the rear dash cam un-sticking! I've tried 3 different types of 3M double sided adhesive. It lasts until it gets really hot for a day or two then I notice the camera is hanging.

No more!
I got an extra garmin magnetic mounting attachment with extra magnets. The rear camera didn't have the magnetic base that the front one came with, so now they match. I drilled a hole through the (almost) center, and beveled the edges best I could so the head of the machine thread screw will sit flush. Took a worn out flappy paddle on the grinder and made sure it was a flat surface for the receiving end of the magnet to mate up as best as possible. Fender washer and nylock nut on the other side.

Haven't had issues with the front one. But did the same. Also crazy glued the annoying white plastic clips that are almost worthless and like to fall off.

Added donut spare for my peace of mind, also tried my full size tire for fit in the “trunk”

Where’d you get that donut spare?

My last up-grade was a Stubby for the fin on the top, from Amazon as well. I have found no issues with the reception on XM, AM, or FM. and looks so much better then that long dong they install from the factory. The huge plus is it is make in the USA not the local chop shop in China.

Thanks for posting this. I’ve had it in my amazon cart for a while, and now I know how it’ll look. I added the Stubby to my full-size Bronco; it looks good and receives fine.

EBay, I was lucky enough to find one with a tire only 3 years old.

I Bronco'd up and took advantage of the 20% off Ford accessory Labor Day promotion and ordered the Cargo Area Liner yesterday. I wasn't expecting to get it the next day....lol

I used Ford points twice with Ford parts buying a black Ford emblem and Tufskinz Bronco Sport black letter overlays and delivery is super quick.

I did the same, but only had $7.76 worth from my last purchase. It's nice they stack with the coupon promotions.

Got both with a discount too. Tufskins were delivered a couple of days ago with the 20% Labor Day discount.
