What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[Desert Bronco.]

I’m probably going to get 245s and keep a second set for when I want to either go off road. That way I can get the best of both worlds. I like the scorpions for the mpg and highway ride, it would be nice to have something more aggressive for the backwoods, fire roads, logging roads, driving in the high desert or Baja Mexico. Not worrying about damaging the rims.

Remember the parking lot hit and run fiasco a few weeks ago resulting in a caved in door. Well today it was confirmed by the body shop and insurance company that I get a brand new door. Now I’m allowed to do what I can to make it somewhat more presentable. So, my many years as a body shop employee back in the ‘90’s came back into play. Suction cups, heat and quenching brought it out somewhat. It’s not perfect because of the body lines but it’ll do until the new door shell comes in.

Actually did it yesterday, but took pics today. Installed roof rail crossbars. These are "universal" fit, will hold 150#, and only cost $79 at Harbor Freight.
Additional details in the roof rails thread.

Installed Yakima roof rack the other day, forgot to get some daylight pics. Had a spare set of corebars (Yakima sent replacements for them because the plastic coating on the outside was splitting, didn't make them unusable, props to them for replacing) Just had to buy the timberline towers. Was worried that they wouldn't look good, but was surprised how much I like the look. I thought the timberline towers would look goofy and that the cross bars would sit too high but they look great.

Damn Dude! Looks decent, I think I'd tell the Insurance company to give you the $$ and leave the door alone.

Yah, it came out not too bad. but not perfect. I guess some things stay with you after huffing paint fumes for over a decade yet not doing body work for the past 20+ years. I could live with it as is if it was years old and I did the damage. But not 3 months and someone else’s fault. A new door it shall receive.

Today, Baby B got a Rough Country nudge bar and four more LED spots wired two center and two outer spots on separate switches. Tomorrow I’ll finish wiring up and test. Then I can clean up the wiring and tidy up the engine bay. Rock lights are in and the canopy was installed a few weeks ago. Tires upgraded to BFG KO2s. Last two bits are Ford installing the lift kit ( too much for me to do alone) and the rear facing light bar. Then I’m done…. For now?

What tires you got on that?

Didn't want to remove the bumper just to paint my tow hooks; maybe when/if I add lighting I'll do a more permanent solution. But the black was killing me and no way I'm going red like EVERYONE else on the road.

I have been wondering how you did that. Thanks, I didn't want to remove the bumper when I decide to do something similar

Great job!

The one I call wife thought it would look good with red letters. An hour later and I have to agree with her

I took the Bronco center medallions from my stock wheels and put them on the new ones.
