Out with the old and in with the new. I’m excited to be done with optimas. I’m so tired of it being drained or the battery being dead and getting warranty replacements.
I like the classic black look of this XS AGM battery and they get amazing reviews. I also decided to go back to a stock style battery tray and hold down.

Doesn't one county have smog checks in the Treasure Valley area around Boise? My Buddy lives in Caldwell and keeps suggesting I should retire there, but he has smogs to do... nothing like here though...


Ada and Canyon county have emissions testing.

I installed the bosch 1996 explorer mini starter and a 2006 mustang mini relay setup. It works so much easier and I like the look better.

A little love and it’s all getting better, still more to do.

I’m not doing this work. Just FYI. I don’t do bodywork.

Now the decision on the grill inner area, white, black or silver. I’m leaning towards silver

White grill on a white Bronco? um no, Silver or Argent, I believe Argent was the factory color starting in mid 1970, not exactly sure though. I do like the "silver" on your white Bronco. Good Choice.
Mark.

This is the basic look I’m going for. I couldn’t find a white bronco with a white grill I loved.
