Found a pretty slick little vinyl decal for the lower door area prone to knicks from rocks.. used to be far worse before ditching the Goodyears and adding slider steps but 99% of the rock chips I had were all in the now-covered area. Might help/might not but ads a bit of subtle flare nonetheless. The spots above the vinyl are just road spray from rainy/dirty road

Looks great what tires are you running on it now instead of the Goodyear

37x12.5 Toyo MT’s on my stock SAS (wildtrak) wheels with a 1.2” hub centric spacer (= 0 offset) Since others might ask - Radflo coilovers and JKS kit, stock Mod bumper with end caps removed, full clearance at full articulation off-road

Thanks are they smooth at lower speeds I put 37” kanati trail hogs on mine after reading some reviews and seeing them on jcr bronco figured I would try them they’re super smooth at speeds over 55 but anything less and they shake your guts out had rebalance twice and changed air pressure multiple times I guess bronco just doesn’t like the tread design of them.

Yeah I could have seen that coming on cheap 37’s.. with that much rubber any little imperfection on that big of a radius is going to be terrible. My guess is the QC is lacking and some get a decent set and you got a lemon or two. Might be able to get away with it at 32-35 but 37+ is a lot of spinning weight. I’ve only had them on for 5k miles but they mounted up and balanced easily with very few weights and have been dead smooth since at all speeds. Just rotated them for the fist time last week and tread wear is perfectly symmetrical. Good mix of off-road and daily driving.. 32 PSI (chalk test) for daily and 18-20 off-road

Installed these goosegear plates today. They were worth the wait 🤌🪿
Looks very nice. I am trying to figure out what is going on behind your driver's seat. Does the Goosegear stop short (not referring to Seinfeld episode) so the driver's seat has full range sliding back and forth? If that is correct, does that mean you have access to the rear seat footwell to put things in there (assuming you do not want to push your seat back further). Is there an accessible "no-man's land" under the Goosegear platform where the seat used to be?

And, what was your reasoning for keeping the rear passenger side seat vs the rear drivers side seat.

Thanks so much.

The stock muffler is just too damn quiet. I'm used to being able to at least tell that the engine is running. I plan on adding an axle back or possibly cat back at some point, but I'd like to hear a few in person first. In the meantime, I can now hear it when it's on.
That really is the best use for the tach. If it says .8 it's running if it says 0 it is not. I do use the tach when running low range M mode to pick right gear, these things are quiet.

The upper plate there caps off the former seat area, so yes there is a small zone in the footwell to drop in a small bag or briefcase behind the seat if need be. The notch in the top allows the full range of seat movement which is nice. The plates sit very flush to the body, so there's very little room between the plates and the floor. Great quality from GG

I kept the pass. side seat in for the occasional extra homie, and since I also have a kicker 10" sub mounted under the drivers seat, it'll keep their feet off the electronics

Thanks for that explanation. I can now picture it. And your "side" reasoning makes perfect sense!

Cheers.

Added the passenger side tie down/recovery hook on the rear. Now it’s symmetrical and doesn’t make my eye twitch.

Looking Good!

I picked it up from my local dealers parts department part # MB3Z-17N808-B the bolts are already in place on the Bronco 18mm torque back down to 59 ft lbs a quick 5 minute job to have it like it should’ve been from the factory. I believe I paid around 45 for the hook.
