What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[Mighty3]

Outside water is shut off for the fall/winter. Car wasn't a mess. I used waterless (no water) wash/wax with lots of microfiber towels. Came out good. I even did the wheels. Kind of surprised how easy it was. Many brands out there and they all are good for this but I used a 'waterless' product (not 'rinseless' product) with a bunch of microfiber towels.

Today I started installing a switch panel. The under-hood fuse box is a no-go for the supplied accessory power tapping fuse, as the lid won't shut, and I'm not going to cut into it. I either need to tap a wire somewhere or order some wire and tap into the internal fuse box?

Mounting the switch panel wasn't too difficult. I only had to drop the upper console, remove the sun visor, and the pillar trim panel. I used a stiff wire to fish the cable from the corner of the headliner to the console opening. I then ran the wire down the factory harness and out of the unused grommet under the dash. The hardest part was removing and reinstalling the pillar trim panel.

There really isn't a whole lot of available real estate under the hood to work with. This was the best I could come up with while keeping it looking somewhat tidy.

It's a tight fit in that corner, but by removing the visible mounting bolt, I'm able to pivot the box and remove the cover to access the internals. The circuit breaker does look somewhat getto, so I'll probably order a more visually pleasing one when I order some more supplies.

I fought off Black Friday demons in the malls and found myself squaring off with a Subu! Blood was split, that's all I'll say : )

Average car sold is now over $50,000. Insurance rates, parts and repairs all go up to keep pace with that. I really wish a lot more people would accept a simple, well done job like that mobile body shop. I bet that was a fraction of a full body shop cost and it looks great.

My sister-in-law saw what he did, and got a quote from him for damage on her 10-year old Nissan Cube. He said $1,500. My brother said that was too expensive, to go to a body shop. She went to a body shop, and they quoted her $4,500 for the same work! Needless to say, she hired to mobile guy. He did a great job for her.

Bob, do you mind sharing info for this mobile body guy? Not sure where you are located, but if you happen to be anywhere near me (out west) I’d love to know someone good if I ever need them.

or pm me if you prefer. Thanks

Thank you. No they are not the stock tire size. When we replaced them last year, we went up one size to a 235 65/R17.

Is there any rubbing issues with the larger tires?

 

[CasaMarPe]

Nice choices! The hood sits so low otherwise. The steeda bar looks great... did you install on a 2025 BS model? Cheers.

What are the advantages of the steeds bar? It looks sturdy and heavy duty.

Our BS/BB is at stock ride height & there are no rubbing issues.

Shortened the OEM antenna. We have a very low garage (73" of clearance). Lost no noticeable reception.

Didn’t do anything to it today, but I learned 8” of snow is no big deal.

You circumcised your Bronco! Was it a good Sport?
