Did some meandering around the Mojave

I can't wait to retire! This is what I want to do, just travel and explore!!!

 

[BK1]

Added black lug nuts, new center caps, plugged the ugly empty holes on spare and installed the smoked grill led markers from SPV parts on the Everglades. Have a few things to install this weekend

 

[THE Buckeye Bronco]

What mount did you use?

Power Tank has a nice custom mount for both the 2 and 4 door Broncos. It is a modular design and side specific (Driver or Passenger). Installation was simple (less than 20 minutes).

Installed a Buckleup Offroad winch mount, Badlands winch, LOD frame reinforcements and Lumen8 Hybrid R Dual Fog Lights. Also switched out the stock goodyears after 32000 miles to 35" Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/Ts. Man, these tires are beefy compared to the stock tires.

How was the install?

This is on my to do list, but I know I'll need to swap my front springs, so I am slacking.

Install was pretty straight forward. The LOD frame reinforcements required some cutting to work with the factory bumper.

Luckily, I don't have to swap springs or anything otherwise it would take me quite a bit longer to do haha.

Gotta love tax season

All since this past weekend:
Rockslide Engineering powered steps to replace a nerf bar
Rockslide Engineering EZ-Rack
Turn Offroad Tailgate Reinforcement
Turn Offroad Adjustable Spare TIre carrier
Mountains2Metal rear molle panels
Mountains2Metal tailgate limiter

Still have to install
Turn Offroad Tailgate table - need a rivetnut tool and don't have one yet.
Still waiting on my Spicer locker coil to finish up the rear locker

Then... I'm done for a bit, at least until I break something new or the aftermarket carpet replacement gets to market

The rear molle panels are something I've wanted for a bit so I can stop carrying a bunch of crap around in a milk carton in the back. I need to get all my crap mounted there, will do that once the table is in. I'll have to redo my rear mat, the weathertech doesn't fit any longer, and the mabett cargo cover won't work with this, so I'll have to either live without it or do something else. I very nearly went for the cargo shelf as well, but held off to see how this does first. The shelf would have to be easily removable, if it's bolts then... harder sell.

The Steps - well, they are just nice. I justified them to the wife by saying her parents can now get in the Bronco without needing a step, and once I got them in she loved them herself. I'm glad you guys talked me into them a while back.

The table replaces one of those knockoff canvas tailgate molle panels. It sagged in the heat and looks like crap - the metal one will hopefully look much better, and hey, a table so I can ... do tabley things with it.

The tailgate reinforcement - holy cow is that thing stout. It goes to prevent further damage from where my Bronco came with aftermarket tires and the spare wasn't adjusted properly. The entire tailgate is twisted a bit, this reenforcement doesn't get rid of the twist, but it sure isn't going to twist any further. And - it gets rid of that last final squeak that I could never get rid of in the back! One thing I didn't realize with the Turn - it isn't just a reenforcement bracket. It completely replaces the tailgate hinges and is an entirely separate external frame for the tailgate, and the tailgate mounts to the new frame and isn't directly connected to the Bronco at all any more. The tailgate itself doesn't carry any weight any longer - the frame carries everything (well, I guess when I put the table back in, it will carry that weight, but that's like ... a few pounds?)

Spare tire carrier - figured since I was doing the re-enforcement I may as well just do this at the same time. It's nice not needing the bump stops any longer, although I haven't taken them off. And the third break light doesn't look like it's wedged in there like a fat kid in skinny jeans any longer. It also has the benefit of raising the spare tire up some so the trailer hitch isn't nearly as tight of a fit / doesn't need as big of a drop.

The limiter - again, figured since I was doing it may as well do this at the same time. I don't have anything mounted to the tire carrier that needs a limiter, but it does move that hydraulic stop to 2 mounting points rather than 1, and if I ever did want to throw a rotopax or something back on the tailgate I can without crushing the tail light -- although my current hard top the back end can't open unless the tailgate is ~all~ the way open.

EZ-Rack - I thought it was a neat idea. I don't have anything mounted to this yet, it isn't something I would leave installed, but thought it might be nice to mount crap on out on the trail, like a highjack or come-along.

I have installed the Rock Hard Aluminum Front Bumper and the Warn 10k Winch. Then I saw issues with the frame. Planning to install the horn reinforcements. Any recommendations between Addictive Designs Frame Horn Gusset Kit and LOD Frame Tie In Brackets? I will add Rock Hards Flat towing plates one day.

Was jacking up Betty white when it fell off the jack and pinned me between the spare tire and my shop door 2 fracture ribs and a bruised lung air lift to a truma center where I pass out and hit My head so I think I win for most expensive mods. Bronco is ok

Wow that sucks - get well soon.

Looks like a fun time. Where did you get the windshield light mounts?

Made them…

 

[Dialtone]

Added the Ford hoop steps. The wife's favorite and it's her vehicle. Happy wife, happy life.
No rock crawling for us so the drop is fine.

Borne off road rear shock skids, bone fish front license plate hawse failrad mount, Barricade rear bumper, and homemade rear license plate mount. Getting ready for UBB next week...

 

[PheeNix]

I took the top off for the first time and did my first beach drive… from south of Houston, north and east to down the Bolivar Peninsula, through Galveston, and then back home.

it was amazing.
