Awesome thanks for the link! Would be interested to see how these perform overtime and with some hard wheeling. I have a feeling folks might have an issue with the center section of that slider getting bent up and smashing into the rocker (personal experience on my old JK). This was a lesson learned with manufacturer's of JK/JL sliders with similar designs. That span between the front and back mounting point was too large, and the center section of the slider couldn't take impacts without bending. That's why all of the stronger sliders for JK/JL's now have a 3rd mounting spot somewhere in the middle to give things more structure. Something to keep an eye on with those potentially.

Inspired by recent B6G travel photo essays, we set out for the highest elevation in our state- High Point, New Jersey- topping off at a whopping 1,804 feet above sea level! I hear the snickers from several western states...but it's a beautiful spot.

Then we drove an hour north to a concert at Bethel Woods, NY- on the grounds of the Woodstock Music Festival in 1969. It got me wondering how many folks might have packed up their first-gen Bronco and set off for that event...

I just my Baja fog light kit today... they were ordered on 5/13/22. Got home from work, assembled and now ready to install...as soon as these kids find something to do that is... install could happen next week. Lol

Feels like I have been waiting on these lights for a year or more, even though it was only 3+ months...but still so nice to have them in and working.

The amber fogs are decent at night, the white brites....are just that...super brite

Would wait 3+ months all over again if I had too.

I'm finally done! Today I did my first 3k mile rotation and posted the last of the upgrades on my build thread, I'm done for now!! Leveling kits F/R, winch, tires, tie rod braces, shock skids, full stereo upgrade, RSE steps, ext/int lighting, rear power, all 6 aux switches are used up and it's outfitted for the trails. I started in April, lots of blood and tears invested!

I drove out to Duncanville, TX and bought the take offs from a 2022 OBX for $250!!

These things were in near perfect condition, got 'em for a steal. 60 miles driven, they still have the drive line on every tire between the treads and they came with all the hardware and TPM sensors.

We're going to put them on for long road trips that we don't plan on doing any major wheeling on. The 35's I have will be for off-road days.

Now to just find some non-squatch race red OBX fendors to complete the look. Good times.

Oh, these things weigh at least 25 lbs less than the Sasquatch tires and I figured out you can fit all five of them in the back of a 2 Door Bronco.

Did it myself. Considered powder-coating but it was crazy expensive around here and that made me realize touching up powder-coated ones that get boulder-rash is going to be expensive to maintain as well. So I grabbed some color-matched paint from automotivietouchup.com and just did them myself. Fairly simple.

• Remove
• Scuff with 3m pads
• wash with soap and water
• thoroughly dry
• couple coats of primer
• 3 coats of paint
• couple coats of matte clear coat
• Install

Touch up on these should be fairly easy and a heck of a lot cheaper.

They turned out pretty good.

Love the interior lighting do you have a how to guide of how you wired it up? What phone holder are you using for the picatinny rail. Been looking for a good one for a small ipad when I go off roading.

I posted this in the 2 door thread, but for people that don't frequent it, I finished up my rear seat delete today. I have a few minor things to add like tie downs but I think it came out really good.

Thanks!! Check out my build thread, linked in my signature, tons of info on what I did. Feel free to send me a message if you have questions.
