Looks really sharp. If you haven't yet Ford offers an official smoked Oval for the tailgate which I think would look really nice on your BS. I think they offer a black one, but not sure.
Winter Wash & Under-Carriage Care + Subtle Mods
I drive a 2023 Shadow Black Bronco Sport (Big Bend trim), and winter conditions here can be rough—especially with all the road salt. The temperature swings don’t help either. This morning it was -22℃ (-7.6℉), but by midday, it had warmed up to -10℃...
NEW TO FAT BIKING!
Happy with the 1UP USA "Equip'D" hitch bike rack. Very easy to mount to the car, so there is no need to leave it mounted to the vehicle when not hauling a bicycle.
So simple to mount a bike and go. Lots of clearance. Designed to accept up to a 4.5" tire out of the box.
The...
A little, little Bronco story. I came across the Susie Islands Overlook quite by accident. It’s a few kilometres past the Pigeon River border as one drives into Grand Portage. It's right off the highway. If you don't keep an eye out you'll drive by completely unaware it exists. The sun was...
My reply above was from this time last year. When I ended up doing was obtaining a block heater extension cord routing it around the engine bay to the bottom of the windshield. Works beautifully.
I feel you on this! Personally, I find the 2-door a bit too limited on it's cargo space. I wish it came somewhere in the middle between the full-size Bronco and the Bronco Sport.
The BS Big Ben '23 got a good wash today. I drive in the country a lot and the amount of insects smushed on the front end of the vehicle is disgusting. Wasps wedged right in between the seam of the front headlamps and the car body. That, and flying geese frequently use the BS for target...
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!
A long list of small things from the...
Installed the side window deflectors / rain guards. These are the ones available from Ford. I like their low profile compared to third party options I've seen. I've included a few pics b/c it was difficult for me to figure out how to mount them, even with the instructions Ford provides. There...
My note wasn't meant to offend (in the event it did). I was clear I enjoy creative solutions. Though I hope the whistle may be an option to others that weren't aware such an option exists. I'm not affiliated with the Save-a-Deer whistle. I drive in areas where there is a lot of deer and was...
Enjoy seeing creative solutions. BTW, there's a Save-a-Deer Whistle that can be mounted to the front of your vehicle which emits a high frequency sound that deer can hear, and freezes them in their tracks. Apparently it works when driving over 35mph, and is 90% effective. Costs approx USD $15 on...
Today the 2023 Bronco Sport Big Bend got:
Matte Black Overlay Letters Front & Rear
Rear Smoked Chrome Ford Oval
Rival Hood Gas Struts
I was going over the list of minor mods and accessories I've bought for the BS. It's easy to spend spend spend. That Chrome Oval, for example, is...
Thanks for that. I managed to find it over the weekend. Is the main reason for the install to keep the engine surface clean? Are there other benefits or negatives you're aware of? Cheers.
