Early Bronco

Just playin’ the hand we’re dealt without even knowing what cards are in the deck

Sometimes it’s harder looking back than forward, or at the very least, just leave one amazed at how it all happened, especially with absolutely no planning.

26 years ago today, I landed the post-Navy retirement job that would ultimately take me across America and beyond, put me in a plane seat for nearly 3 million miles, hotel rooms for over six years day-for-day, and ultimately land me in Afghanistan and Iraq for five years, with side trips to Australia, Italy, Germany, the UK, Mexico…

I had my windshield replaced do I need to re-calibrate the camera?

I had my windshield replaced do I need to re-calibrate the camera? The Safelite guy that did it says it is not necessary as there are no error messages after the replacement. Then I get an auto generated email two weeks later from Safelite saying I need to have it re-calibrated??? Do I really need to or is it ok as the first guy said because there are no error messages? Thanks in advance.

Removing steel bumper guards on 2025 Outer Banks with Sasquatch and Tech packages

I want to paint the bumper overlays to match the body color but have two question –
A couple of the bolts free spin when half way loosened, like there is a capure bolt loose. How do I remove those?
I have the front and rear sensors in the bumpers, how do they disconnect to pull the bumper overlays off? Are the sensor covers on the outside of the bumpers removable or are they built in?

Thanks for any advice.

Curt Trailer Hitch Install Woes

I stalled the wire harness yesterday and went to tackle to hitch today. Couple of problems..

The holes on the side of the frame rail are too small for the bolt heads(or the bolt heads are too big for the holes, ;^] ). Also, I have some felt/paper partitions that attach where the hitch attaches, (the hitch would be covering up the small holes for the partition.)

And the printed instructions are lame, does not show how to get the hitch between the exhaust heat shield and the bumper cover…
