What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[JamesT]

Another weekend "to do" I've been working on is finding a way to make the best use of the neat little storage tray Ford provided in the spare tire well. I knew I wanted a better tire iron as I've yet to see one from the factory that worked worth a %$#$ and as I rule I always try to have a basic multi-tool and the handful of items needed if a wheel needs to be changed. This time around, with the nice power supply options in both front and rear of the Badlands, as well as this is meant to be the Wife's daily driver, I also wanted to see if I could find a portable air pump that fitted snugly into one those tray compartments.

This is what I've come up with:

One thing to keep in mind is that this is the full-tire optioned Bronco Sport, so the cargo tray sits higher to clear the larger spare. While the Audew air compressor fits perfectly into the triangular tray space, it is "thick" enough that I'm not sure if it will clear the lower height that Sport owners with the compact spare have. But in the Badlands it fits like it was meant to go there.

The rest of items should all fit fine.

A lot of the little stuff I got a various local big-box stores but if someone wanted to duplicate some or all of this here are the P/N's:

Amazon.com: Audew Portable Air Compressor Tire Inflator with Gauge, Auto Digital Air Pump for Car Tires with Extra LED Light, DC 12V 150 PSI Tire Pump for Car,Bicycle,Motorcycle,Basketball,Pool Toys: Automotive

A worthy addition to the Hitchhiker’s Guide.

Had to wait for the weekend to do a quick video post of the installed LEDs but here it is:

There is always the "your mileage may vary" challenge, but for myself the P/N's and Brand LEDs I used work great with no "hyperblink".

Looks great! Thanks for the video - I saw someone on the FB group that used another Amazon brand with no hyperflash as well - I am calling it bad bulbs now. I am returning home tomorrow and installing the new bulbs - so fingers crossed!

A bit off topic
I see all your Amazon links You might want to use smile.Amazon.com instead of www.Amazon.com They will donate a percentage of the money you spend to a charity of your choice.

Ordered a bug deflector from Ford over the weekend and got the all weather floor mats from Ford Saturday when I bought the Bronco.

I had 20% tint installed on the front windows.

 

[MrSoxo]

Got a quote for tints at $129 for my front windows. Deal or no deal?

 

[Bdub]

My guy charged $80. Ceramic would have been double (better heat rejection) but since I wasn’t doing the rest of the windows it would have been a waste of money.

Drove up to Cuzzino's Pizza, Got a Large one for the Superbowl..

Installed mud flaps. I’m not gonna lie, rears were a bit of a pain without removing wheels.

No so much what I did to my Bronco Sport today but what I had done to it this week. Been working with a local detailer in Springfield IL to get any of the paint imperfections worked out of it, have a self-healing bra installed, and the whole thing ceramic coated. Came out great:

I’m doing mine for $119 so it’s probably legit, I am going with their entry level film too. They had a mid-level for about $129-139, so perhaps you’re in that area for the price.

Where did you get your tint done? I live in the DMV as well.

Did you install the splash guards yourself?

Received the console tray from Amazon. Came with Blue and Red inserts. Perfect fit.
