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

Skyrider install, now that winter is over. Wow. Wish I would have done this sooner. The convenience is unmatched, no need to store the front panels, and I really have not noticed significant increase in wind noise, whether top is open or closed. Thanks @Bestop_Team! Install was super easy.

And, Frank needed some slight cosmetic changes. Heritage Spear and Bronco Script from @Underground Graphics. Thanks guys! Install was a breeze, and everyone loves the look.

Looks great! I have my Sunrider on order with tentative arrival of May. THanks for your positive feedback! I took the front two panels off mine for the first time. IT wasn't bad, but the sunrider will make this so much easier!

Parked next to a Heritage Edition. Had to take a few group photos.
Also had my factory option Tow Hitch installed.

Did you swap out the hardware that connects the plate to the tailgate? Mine came with Allen head bolts, I was going to swap them out so they looked the same as the ones that the accessory plate attaches with.

No, mine came with all hex head bolts. Unfortunately, they were too short at 30 mm for the hinges but I had some 8 X 40 mm SS hex head's which did the job. With the bushings/plate thickness, I do not believe that 35 mm would have been long enough to provide enough thread engagement. I changed out all of the RotoPax mounts to SS as well.

Opens wallet. Sigh.

Yeah, the M2M tailgate limiter is spendy but I had to do it for the Hammer Built RotoPax mount. However, the machining is "excellent".

Notice any difference in the handling?

Ride is just a little bit firmer and more confidence inspiring when you hit bumps in the middle of off camber curves at highway speeds. Most noticeable is the reduction in brake dive. It is a little closer to the experience in my wife's stock Colorado ZR2, although the Bilsteins are not as sophisticated as the DSSVs on the ZR2.

Installed the Desert Does It Seat Jackers. I had them on my Jeep and they worked well.

I went with the single 3/8" shim.

I had to redo the installation, when I noticed on the product page it mentioned that they have a 1.5 degree slope.

The instructions didn't mention this and I didn't pay attention enough to notice a slope. My shims also had equally sized holes, instead of one round for the seat pin, and one oval for the bolt.

Just sitting in the seats it does feel better. Less of a flat seat bottom feel. It gives you more recline, which was my major complaint. I was sitting at a near 90* angle originally.

I wanted my driver seat higher. Had some hockey pucks around, drilled them, bought 4 longer bolts at the hdw store along with some washers, and put them under the seat runners. It was perfect for the trails at the highest setting, and it can be lowered for the road if I want. I can see the trail better.

Had a friend install on my 2023 Wildtrak, RPG Ucas and perch collars 3” front 2.25” rears. Method 321s with zero offset. Nitto Ridge grappler 37-12.5r17.

I included a couple of pics to compare to my kids 2023 Moar Door Badlands SAS, has a 1” Zone level. 315-70r17s also on methods with zero offset.

Yep... Nacho Light Bar. A little spendy, but good quality. I like the low profile. Install is easy... remove six bumper bolts, slide the light bar between the bumper & frame, reinstall six bolts.

...below is my post from a different thread (search NACHO light bar for more info)

"I installed a Nacho Offroad Technology capable bumper light mount bar and as stated, the depth between the mounting holes and the grill is narrow and some lights will not fit. However, here is a solution to gain some space. I fabricated an aluminum plate with a hole to act as a big washer to mount the lights forward of the mounting hole. The plate is installed underneath the mounting tab in the forward cut out gaining some additional room for lights. You could use a large fender washer, but the plate is thicker and provides more contact for a stable connection."

Anyone have luck installing this on the standard plastic bumper? Website says plastic/capable so I bought it, but having trouble getting the bumper to slide in over the bar. Any tips would be appreciated.

Update about $850 to repair it all
Well Thursday myself and two other 6G did the double black rated trail 16 at Windrock. We made it through mostly unscathed all of us took minor damage . But we all drove out and and no first aid kit needed.

Installed a set of Rockworkx hard top quick install bolts that double as a tie down point.

Nice they had a gray set to match the color (Carbonized Gray).

I was looking at these a while back. My concern is how do you get them tight enough if you are tightening them by hand? Am I missing something here?
