What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[AndyMac204]

Finished up my HRG lift install tonight. It's dark so no pics but I did take it for a test drive. Had to come back and adjust a dust shield on the front through the rim. I added a little more camber and it's seems to drive even better. Can't wait to pull up along side some vehicles tomorrow.

fun!
i might take a stab at mine on sunday. weather permitting.

That looks great! I'm waiting on a 3rd pair of hands to remount my front fascia.

I could have used a second set of hands for sure. I think at 60 now this will be my last build.

I've emailed Rough Country about my bull bar installation and am waiting on their response. I made the bumper cuts exactly as specified in the instructions and then bolted on the mounting brackets as instructed. However, the distance between the portion of the brackets that protrudes through the bumper is 35". The distance between the cuts is 36". Installing the brackets first and measuring would have been a better strategy, but I followed the directions.

I think I like the RangerLifts push bar because of the attachment and it doesn’t come up so far and cause issues with the camera and front sensors. I think they are back ordering them though.

I like the look and don't have fog lights or front sensors. But I'm not going to be happy with widening my perfect 3/8" cuts to 1" wide.

Sorry about the cuts, that really sucks. That part is probably pretty expensive to replace too. A big reason I‘m not a fan of that push bar Is making those cuts.

I'm working on a mounting bracket for my onboard air compressor.

What compressor you going to use?

What compressor you going to use?

The ARB single.

The ARB single.

Just wondering why you would do this? I know that while out on the trail you will want to air down and then back up when off trail. It just seems weird to me that anyone would carry a long air hose versus a standard pump with the 12V plug that has a short hose but long cord. Given that the BS has 120V outlets, you could even carry a larger pump and use that for power but that seems like too much to carry too.

Nice work on the bracket, btw. When I first saw your post I was thinking it would just be a storage thing. A nice place to keep the pump handy but out of the way. I am just curious, not being critical.

Nice work I might have to copy it, if I don't decide to pry to put one under the seats

My guess is to save on cargo space and it is less setup and put away time.
Those ARB compressors typically have more capability on than the run off the mill portable compressors so they air up faster.

Hose hits all four tires and stores in a 12"x3"x3" bag which is not that big a deal.

I'm considering this as well. Why? Because it's convenient. You have to prioritize inside storage based on weight, size of the item, and access. Having the compressor hard mounted eliminates one item from the prioritization list. It's safely stored under the hood, and you don't have to move anything to get to it if you need it.

Couple minor appearance enhancements. Finally added the front and rear letter overlays. Added some black lug nut covers.

Thanks, and no offense taken.

This will free up a bit of space, as others have noted, but the main reason is these pumps that hook straight into your battery can air up a lot faster than those that plug into a standard 12V outlet. Those outlets are fed with long lengths of small gauge wire so they can't pull a whole lot of amperage. It's better to have short, heavy gauge wires and a long hose than long wires (of any gauge) and a short hose.

As far as use-case, airing back up coming off the trail is part of it but also to air back up when I have to fix a flat. I can't fit my spare in the back anymore and I'm not going to carry my hitch-mount carrier for daily driving. So I'm carrying plugs and a compressor.
