Got it stuck in sand. Had to dig it out

Detailed it from top to bottom, inside and out. Whew ?

Both rides actually. ?

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

Did you install the splash guards yourself?

Tint Works Plus in Prince Frederick. I installed the splash guards myself, rears were a bit of a challenge with wheels on.

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:

Has the question been asked as to how much this work ended up costing you for us to get an idea?

I got a pretty good price as the clear bra and some of the other work was a 1st sale for the product on the Bronco Sport, but normally it would have been in the $2k range for all the work.

Yowza! That’s a bit out of my price range, but looks great. Impressive for sure.

I ordered it today ?. Hopefully it arrives in a timely manner ?

Had my Fiesta ST done when I bought it about 6 years ago. Cost a little bit less back then (what didn't) but it still looks terrific. It's definitely not cheap but I tend to keep my cars for a long time.

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

Do you have the link for these?

I have meant to share what I have done during my first three weeks with our BL+BL.

Paint Protection front, headlights, door edges and cups, and front window tint. Here are some pix of how well this looks. The paint protection shop had cutting patterns for the Bronco Sport so did not use Ford's more expensive kit.

Rear bumper protection. Becuase we have a dog who jumps up and down. The Paint Protection guys applied this for me since it must be at least 65 degrees to apply and that isn't happening in Seattle any time soon.

Mud flaps front and back. (Front required drilling a few holes; rear was easy, even for me!)

Deflating the tires to 33 PSI (cuz Ford ships them with way too much air!). Also got the Viair inflator for when I need to go the other direction.

Yakima Jetstream crossbars (much better than Ford bars in my opinion) and a Yakima Megawarrior basket (lighter than LockNLoad which is important due to moonroof restrictions). The Megawarrior fits well. While not listed in accessories.ford.com, my Ford dealer got it for me at a cheaper price than anywhere else.

TGL Hitch Step. I like this. Has been helpful to get up higher and like the fact it can be used as a rear tow hook. Also added the Curt hitch lock and the StowAway Hitch Tightener to make sure the TGL does not rattle.

Cargo Area Protector for Full Size Spare. Has a lower mat and protectors for back of rear seat, encompassing the rear in rubber. (see the "dog" reference above).

Tent. I also bought the Napier Sportz SUV tent from my Ford dealer and the awesome, comfortable, lightweight, and insulated Kingdom Sleep System 40 air mattress from REI.

Finally, for now, I have decided that I kinda like the white letters on the Cactus Gray. I'm gonna keep that for now.

That's all for now.

Still trying to figure out how to go forward with mounting my mobile radio & antenna. That is a project for a bit warmer time.

I'm happy for suggestions.

How flexible are those mud flaps? I'd wonder how they hold up coming off of a curb or rock.

I have the Ford Cross bars and they are in a lock position and sit incredibly high SOAKING up wind. Do you think the ones you have sit lower while still clearing the moon roof? My rack also has an 18inch extension on it which I'm wondering is too long and allowing air to go underneath and through vs. over. Your expertise would be most appreciated

I noticed that only the 60" cross rails come up when you add the BS on most websites. Has anyone had a bad experience installing the 50" Yakimas or 53" Thules? I am trying to shorten up the length of them, but don't want to compromise their capacity.

Yes, the Yakima racks sit lower and still the moonroof opens. I bought through through the Ford dealer. There is a bit of wind noise but not terrible.

These are the ones I got: https://accessories.ford.com/kit-luggage-rack-12884.html#2021/Bronco Sport. They seem to fit the BS well. Yes, extend a bit but not terrible and does seem to give good options.
