What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[Me3]

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?

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?

Hardly gave up a fight

Replaced the cabin air filter today at 13,3xx miles. I love how easy it is on this car. My focus is a pain to get to.

Both sides are pretty hammered.

long story here. The main reason I got a replacement was because this little tree air freshener i threw in there literally smells like the freezers at the mourge where I need to work at times. Not an enjoyable scent.

I seen chemical guys make a bug bomb style air refresher. I've used the megiar's one before but I know the chemical guys new car scent deodorizer spray smells exactly like new car. So I got the bomb to kill the mourge smell.

The chemical guys new car scent bomb doesn't smell AT ALL like new car. It does smell exactly like used up old spice pure sport. So now the car smelled like a gym locker. It killed the formaldehyde and cold corpse smell, but still not pleasant.

So I just ran the ac for about 15 minutes full blast on recycle and sprayed Ozium, an ozone type odor eliminator throughout the cabin and under the passenger dash to get sucked into the blower. Then replaced the cabin air filter. I have a meguiar's new car scent bomb on hand if necessary. But will let the new motorcraft filter do its job for a day or two first.

looks great! Is that the OEM front plate bracket or did you use something else? Glad to see you were able to make the plate work with the HRG bracket.

Added an HRG Offroad 20" Light bar bracket and a Sylvania Altra 20" Light bar this weekend.

Got my first oil change and they did the instrument cluster recall.

Found a mag-safe charger while Christmas shopping w/wife. 15a charger with over-charge and heat protection (according to the box) and mounted it to back of console with wire into the console. We’ll see how long it lasts, but at $9.99 (discounted at Marshall’s) and no more than I need to charge in car I couldn’t pass it up.

Changed cabin and engine air filters at 40,000 mi they were filthy. Cabin filter was a breeze, even though I couldn’t get the glove box completely out of the way — my old, skinny arms got me into it.
Engine filter was a b***h as I couldn’t get the stinking plumbing out of the way. Managed to tear off a chunk of skin on my hand and I’m on several blood thinners so looked like I’d been in a knife fight. But got it all done in under half an hour for about $30, so the cut was worth it as I probably saved a couple hundred off what I’d have to pay for parts/labor at Ford.
