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

[Aonarch]

I am a bit confused.... Did you try turning the wheel.... OR just remove the wheel for the install, should be plenty of room.

I installed mine today with no fuss.

I drilled a pilot hole for the top screw.

Having the right tools is 90% of the battle.

Finally got JRC slider/steps installed

IAG full length EZ-Steps, installed!

Every fastener received a dab of antiseize, and I followed the example of @BroncoAZ and used stainless washers and rubber plumbing washers to stop the set screws digging into the rock rails. As usual, I'm making things more difficult for myself (for marginal gains), but happy with the results.

Now the shorter relatives can complain about bonking their heads on the roof while getting in.

Good choice!

-BEST hood struts: Rough Country
-WORST hood struts: MRT
Everything else is just middle of the road

MRT ?? I have MRT and I have zero issues. I also have an ADV hood and MRT was one of the two (Steeda was the other) that would actually work.

Put my DV8 and Ultrahook on today.

Since I was missing two bolts from the factory I went with the Rockworkx toolless kit.

Why are hood struts a thing? What am I missing? It's not like lifting the hood manually is an exertion. Do you guys pop it open once an hour to make sure the engine is still there?

Got a wild hair up my ass and decided to go rambling for a few days on a whim. Today, I found myself on some open road between two different indian reservations and didnt see another car or person for almost two hours, nearly 140 miles. Open highway at 65mph with not one other car on the entire strip of road in either direction! Im happy to report there are still empty stretches of blacktop to be found.

Enjoy the journey. God Bless America!

I went about 860 miles in mine yesterday going from TN to the SW corner of MN
Seen two other Broncos on lots and a hand full on the highway

Hood struts raise the hood higher. That is my #1 perceived benefit. Another is not having the prop rod in the way.

Very nice! I've had a few butt clinching moments when you realize... umm when is the last time you saw a gas station, because I'm at 1/4 of a tank.

Looks like a fun adventure! Thanks for sharing!

Added a Maiker molle basket, finally somewhere to clip the radio. It doesn't come with standoffs and it looked like it would crush into the plastic without them so I found some nuts of suitable thickness to go in between.

Finally pulled the trigger on wrapping the hood black. I went back and forth for the last year trying to decide if I’d like it or not. Glad I finally did it.
