Second this. I'm looking at a few. I can get GOAT fab sliders for a good discount but they are body mount. RCI and LOD has frame mount ones but the discount isn't as good.
@Moving Chicane

these are red rock side armor with step pads. Got them from extremeterrain

My daily update - dealer says should be there by 9/18. Their window is 9/13-9/18 (as of yesterday).

An estimated delivery date finally populated on the tracker with 9/13-9/26.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to track the 18 wheeler from final rail to dealer? Apart from asking the dealer over and over?

Just ordered one of these for the Bronco

That one looks solid. I couldn't find the install PDF, do you know how it is secured to the top of the dash? Is it just the bronco accesory mount holding it? It looks like it has slots in the front edge that may be used too? I wasn't sure if there are screws in the Bronco dash there.

I think it attaches to the accessory mount and has adhesive backing on both side that sits down on the dash. I though it had screws that mount into the dash too and that was a no-go if that was the case.

Update: I watched another video with a guy installing this on a Bronco Raptor and he actually drilled some self tapping screws into the dash vs just using the adhesive backing and the accessory ready screw. I’m going to try it without using the self tapping screws into the dash and go from there.

This is the first video with the guy from Long McArthur Ford…


This is the guy using the self tapping screws

Ford Bronco Bronco build week 8/7/2023 20230916_163739659_iOS

Picked up Saturday - very pleased with the Heritage trim. Azure Grey Metallic was totally worth if for this look.
Drives great - not as noisy as i was expecting at highway. Limited wind noise, mud tire hum is the biggest noise culprit but not bad. Well done Ford.

Wow, that’s a really nice looking Bronco! I have never seen that color in person. You have a unique one for sure. Too pretty to mod!!
