Merry Christmas to me

[ep67bro]

I have owned both two and four door. There are pros and cons to each. But for daily life and if you need to haul more than 2 people the four door just makes more sense. I traded my two door in for a four door after about 1.5 years of owning it. If I was wheeling it all the time I would have kept the 2 door, the four door can be a little long for east coast trails.

Anyone have a good solution for a front plate? We are a mandatory two plate state and I have the modular front bumper:

And I really don’t want to drill anywhere. I did get the dealer to leave the front plate mount off so they did not drill into the Bronco up front.

I got a front plate mount from Sticker Fab that uses the three existing bolt holes in the center of the front bumper. It looks much better than mounting it on the grill. Check most of the new bronco vendor sites and they offer something. The one I got was made out of powered coated metal so it matches the bumper well.

ALREADY told you what to use!

Move to a state that doesn’t require it

Just clocked over 800 miles on the ODO and dang, this is a hoot to drive! Of course after years in a Scion Xb as a daily with 240k on its clock might have something to do with it.

I got the BuiltRight front license plate mount for our '21 FE. Just assemble it and loosen a few Bronco Bolts to slip it behind them. It is also adjustable to put it just were you want it.

Have you tried Sport mode yet? Really wakes it up!

I did @tasker ‘s suggestion. I really need to explore the goat modes more.

I just ordered one, crazy expensive, but I never want to be known as “The PO did this or that”, not that I ever plan to sell.

Will hit 2250 miles on my way home from work tonight. My vanity plates showed up in the mail yesterday so I will get those on tomorrow.

It’s still a joy to drive! It likes playing in the snow.

I really like my Badsquatch. About a year and a half now and I've put 40K miles on it. It is great in the snow - we got 14 inches yesterday!

How will you mount your front plate? Ford's solution is a bracket screwed into the lower plastic grille surround piece. There are aftermarket options that bolt to the bumper without having to drill holes. My bracket had already been mounted (holes drilled) and I wish it hadn't. I left it in place when I mounted my winch. I may have to move it if I ever get pulled over!

The dealer asked me about that and I said please don’t. I actually just finished installing them.

Really nice product but a bit spendy at $75.

Came from these guys:

It uses the existing bolts on the modular bumper so no new holes anywhere!

Your bumper does not look like the modular one though.

You are correct. My Bronco originally came with the modular bumper. The PO bought a new Bronco and swapped bumpers before he sold it to me. It's the "capable" bumper. Only bonus is it came with factory fog lights. But I don't have a factory fog light switch so they're wired to one of the upfitter switches.
