What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

[JimmyG]

With thanks to @JimmyG for the inspiration, I installed a DV8 Offroad bumper bull bar and 20" light bar. I went with the dual-row light bar, fits perfectly.

I was stumped at where to route the power cable but finally found a spot behind the L/F headlight and it was an easy install after that. I used the #1 Aux switch for power, but that is a simple change if needed.

The downside of this bull bar is that it blocks about 25% of the front camera if your Bronco is so equipped. I'll live...

Looks awesome (I'm biased )!!

How did you mount the light bar? Does the bull bar have a mounting point on it?

I have a 20" light bar arriving soon and I've got some 2" clamp mounting brackets that attach to the bull bar (mine is not a DV8 bull bar).

Just interested in how you mounted yours. Thanks!

The bull/brush bar mounts in the 8 OEM mounts on the bumper. It's simply a remove existing bumper bolt line up and bolt it back up. The light bar required a mounting kit that was extra with DV8. Pretty simple.

Did a couple of simple add ons. Curt trailer hitch and some @StickerFab mods.

After I installed a DV8 light bar (see above) I was buzzing around town and saw the dealer had a BRaptor on the lot so I stopped in to have a look. As an encore to my Bronco Everglades ADM post, I give you...

To be honest, I had higher expectaion$. Only $50K, HB Ford? Thought you'd go for way more than that.

And it's probably stolen from some poor soul that got hit with a surprise ADM and had to walk away.

Well, 6 months to the day of pickup my son and I got pulled over on the way to flush some pheasants… now I am searching for the best front license plate mount. I am actually relieved as I thought he was pulling me over for rolling through the stop sign.

Side note: he is seeing a lot of Broncos and likes their look. He said he was a Chevy guy. I couldn’t resist and said, “The new Blazer is cute for a crossover.”

Got the perfect one for you.

Just a friendly word if warning regarding the seatbelt clips. Take them out if the clips before you let passengers or give instructions, especially with kids. Both of my rear ones have been ripped off by kids pulling harder when they met resistance with the seat belt. Replaced the 3m tape, just annoying.

The bull bar comes with 2 mounting tabs that are bolted to the back of the bar. The bull bar does not come with any mounting hardware as you are intended to use the Bronco bolts that come from the factory on the modular bumper.

The light bar is then mounted to these tabs using an "Elite Series Light Bar Mount" that the DV8 website recommends.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I have this 2” diameter bar but it doesn’t have a mounting rail for a light bar like some do. So I’ve ordered these universal 2” mounts from Lasfit.

If you have the modular bumper, this is what I did as a mounting solution:

Installed hood struts!

Sunglasses holder install. Have to say it's pretty nice and sturdy.

How do you get the sunglasses into the basket? It looks like there's not enough clearance between the roof and the front top of the basket.

The picture is deceiving, there is plenty of room to get your hand in there unless you have sausages for fingers. At least there is with my hardtop, I can't speak to the soft top.

Actually plenty of room. That's a sun shade.
