Congratulations Hunter. Hope you already got all your mods done.

I tell people the secret to a long marrige is 2 words, "yes dear" 46 years and counting, 2 or 3 of those were happy.

That dumb freedom convoy crap is still going?

Freedom - yeah, I looked up freedom online and this is what I found…

Got a new garage door remote. Couldn't figure out the programming so using dremel modded some plastic and swapped the circuit board over to the new case/shell.

Essentially all that work just so I can have a god damn visor clip.. so a what did you do to your home post.

Hmm, shiny plastic.

Usually you have a learn button on your garage door motor and you need to activate it and then press the button you want to program.

Organized my recovery gear some. Had 33 feet of 3/8 chain laying in the shop so I threw that in the box along with a couple of come alongs. I also have a tow strap, tree saver, shackles, a bottle jack, hatchet, and 2 entrenching shovels in the husky box. Then I secured another large shovel and recovery boards.

Also installed a matching spare tire which is also off a black diamond Bronco

Isn’t the factory spare black steel wheel the same as the black diamond wheels?

Stock the angle from the bottom of the tire to the bottom the bumper was likely good enough to not need them, you've modified the back and increased the ride height, both increased the angle rocks and such can get launched upward behind the truck, mud flaps should be there at this point. I don't know about the legality of it, I'm guessing it depends on the areas you drive if it's really a legal issue, but as good road citizen having them would be advantageous, maybe even more so offroad since you are more likely to kick up rocks if you spin some there.

Problem with mud flaps off-road is the hard ones can catch on rocks and ledges on departure. The soft ones can get pinched between rocks and tires in reverse and then get ripped off.

Had to call Ford Roadside Assist, pretty quick response too. The battery finally died at 2.5 years old and just over 11.5k. Warranty should cover all this, and then I picked up a Ford Battery Charger.

I know, I had the OE front flap on my Civic get between my tire and a root and rip the fender from it's lower bolt.

Since he has custom rear work already, adding removable soft flaps would not be that hard. Also, the further back from the tire it is the shorter it can be while still providing better protection than the stock bumper, I'm sure he could find the right distance:length that would not get caught between tire and rock.

HA!

If you only knew how many batteries for Fords I have bought and I am all too familiar with a Tow Truck.

SO here is the best part. Batteries are on backorder. NO ETA! The plant that makes them is on strike. How long will it sit? and when do I buy my own battery?

That is ridiculous! Yes, they should reimburse you to buy a battery elsewhere.
