You've done good looking things, I really like that little guy.
Don't know if you knew it, but "mdmay" at the other place is now dealing with Diode Dynamics, I think he's become a seller. I looked to see what he's got, and there's some good looking light pods and mounts for the Bronco. Thought you might be interested.

Thanks John, I'm still sorting out what I want light wise, ATM it's a mini bar light on the front grille guard, some fog, spots for the modular bumper and some kind of reverse lighting. I do have a local shop that is a distributor of DD, Rigid, and a couple of other brands I never heard of...lol plus they do the installs. I just got my RokBlokz mud flaps yesterday and it took some time to put them together so I didn't get a chance to get them installed before the rain started.

Nope... went down to the dealership Monday eve to see "mine" with the auto and took it for a drive, I'm "supposed" to be 1st on the list for the 2023 order since they screwed up my first one.
Think I'm going to eliminate the factory brush guard as it covers the Bronco on the grill, was debating going 4 dr since we've added a Malinois to the fam, but I think I'll make my son ride in the truck instead

Too bad they didn't get it right, that won't sit on the lot long and they're going to make a bundle over MSRP.

Get the two door and make the back area for your pup, that's what I did...lol who needs passengers besides the mrs.

I did get the RokBlokz installed the other day. The installation took 1/2 the time of the assembly.

Did a few little mods today, some more cosmetic and functional bling. The rear cargo area and under the rear hatch is the new Oracle LED Cargo Light Module and the K9 Interceptor badge has been on my last three vehicles.

Yep, they will make some $$ off of it for sure, spoke with the owner of the dealership Scott, he's pretty irked at Ford, says they are trying to go like tesla, no dealers, he can't get inventory from them... had a good convo, hopefully they will open up the dang '23 order banks soon! After driving it, I really liked it, kiddos will just have to suffer in the back seat with Oakie I'm sticking with the 2 door!

Yes I have heard rumors to that statement. They do still need the dealers for service and such, which will weed out the crappy service dealers. The last two years have changed the face of how a lot of businesses operate.

Having the two door has eliminated carting everyone around

My OEM roof rack finally showed up, was ordered 7/1/22 and showed up at the dealer 9/15/22. I did add the additional cross bar too.

Installed the Steeda Strut Tower Brace, very nice construction and easy install. Only takes 5 minutes to remove for off-road.
