keep us posted on how it performs! looks solid ??Installed the JLT Air/Oil Separator,
was quick an easy to install.
Just a quick dress-up thing, but like many other Ford owners, I'm not a big fan of the factory lug nuts, especially after a particularly annoying experience on the side of a freeway once where the little metal cap stripped off while trying to change a flat.
I've had very good luck with VMS Lug Nuts on my other cars and treated my Badlands to a set of red ones:
Such a small modification but very cool! Especially works great with the reddish color... makes it pop

I don't get the purpose of these, especially since the 1.5L engine includes a factory air/oil separator.

The oil pulled out of the PCV system by the OEM air/oil separator goes back into the sump instead of into a can that you must empty. Yes, the oil contains contaminants, but this engine has a relatively large sump, and the oil is designed to hold contaminants in suspension until you change it. The recommended change interval accounts for oil contamination, and as long as you change it at the proper interval the contaminant level will not harm the engine.
Tint. Needs a bath. Man, this color is hard to keep clean.
I installed the JLT on my Big Bend at about 3k miles. I have 10,650 now. The can has filled 3-4 times. Keeps the oil and vapors off the valves in these direct injected engines.
Someone else with more knowledge and a better explanation can chime in.
Added Ford floor liners. Had ordered Husky weather beaters but they did not fit. I assumed it was because I have a Badlands and perhaps these were made for carpeted versions. Found out later today as I packed them up the box said they were for a full size Bronco 4 door! I guess even the suppliers mix the two up. Happy with the Ford liners. Coverage under the gas pedal is lacking but I have rubber floors already so no real concern. Tomorrow’s chore is mud flaps.

I have about 4 more things I'm doing to my base. Today I started feeling lucky I had something to work with. Times are crazy

But why let the contaminates go back in the first place ? This will take care of that. Call me anal I guess, but I strongly believe in Preventative maintenance. If you take care of it, it will take care of you. Call me old school I guess too. I just like piece of mind if ya no what I mean, better to be safe than sorry.
Dan, exactly as you stated, the port injected engines keep the oil vapors from building up on the valves. The direct injection engines don’t. These catch cans help keep the vapors from building up on the valves.
