Body ground location?

Anyone know where the body ground connection is on the Badlands – before I go out and look through the spaghetti.

Amber wrench indicator light on instrument panel

When I started my BS BB tonight, the amber wrench indicator light came on, and an information message popped up Service vehicle soon. I pressed OK to clear the message. As I drove home, the wrench light stayed on and the message continued to pop up after each time I cleared it. I checked the manual and the amber wrench indicator light signals a problem with the powertrain and/or 4WD.
After reading the manual for about 20 minutes, I went back out and started the vehicle. No amber wrench…

Noticed this the other day. Had a tire replaced a while ago. Called the place, they don’t have the piece, because of course they don’t. Can that be replaced?? I don’t even know what that middle piece on the rim is called. Any ideas? It’s driving me nuts knowing it’s not there.

I bought my BS about a month ago. It hasn’t rained since, but it is pouring today. I got to use Slippery Mode for the first time. I guess it did it’s thing. 😀 Nothing more to see here. Lol

Removal of Sun Visor’s warning labels

Has anyone removed these ugly yellow warning labels? Since the visor is vinyl it seems relatively easy with a little heat from a blow dryer and maybe a little clean up with Goo Gone?

Brake Calipers Covers?

Brake Calipers Covers?
Has anyone covered, wrapped or painted their brake calipers? I’m more interested in protection and safety than I am appearance. There are lots of options and opinions on-line, but I’d be interested in your opinions and input.

2 Months with My Bronco Sport Badlands – Real-World Experience (On & Off-Road) – Argentina Style

Hi group,
Today marks 2 months since I picked up my Bronco Sport Badlands from the dealership, so I wanted to share my experience. I’ll leave some photos as a way to represent these first months. The idea is to share comments and experiences and also hear from you to see what your opinions are.

General evaluation
Overall, I’m very satisfied. I think it’s a very well-balanced vehicle between daily use and off-road. It delivers what it promises within its segment and for my goals.

Front license plate install – 2026 FBS Badlands

Front license plate install – 2026 FBS Badlands
How do I install the front license plate on my 2026 Ford Bronco Sport Badlands? I can’t seem to find any specific instructions or videos. Am I drilling? Screwing? Am I undoing the existing bolts from metal front? Feel free to point me to a video. Thank you!
