Took the grandkids to their last day of school with the roof and doors off

Made my final change and confirmed for my Armadillo Slantback HT. Went to White Top, and ordered the Ext Molle panels.

Changed from Raw Aluminum and no Molle panels.

I'm excited to see how this looks/feels. I might bite the bullet and get one myself.

Since my Bronco sadly did not come with Aux switches, I installed the F150 LEDs kit.


Feedback:

These are all the same units as other companies out there like Auxbeam, etc, but this kit has the little bracket that fits well for the control pad.


The cables are hilariously too long. Again it's a generic kit that they are marketing for the Bronco. I would have liked for all of the cables to be half the length if not less.


The install video does things in an odd order and makes a few mistakes. Don't follow it.


The video also doesn't disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Absolutely do this. The video also neglects to show trimming the positive battery cover and the fuse box cover. In fact, I think in the video they didn't cut the fuse box cover at all. Bad.


First mock up the box and mark the holes to drill. Double check, drill a pilot hole. Check alignment again, then drill.


Don't install the box to the fender yet. Lay it on the driver's front corner of the radiator shroud.


Now I recommend installing the fuse tap. Then trim the fuse box cover on the fender side. Then install that wire to the box.


Next install the power cable to the battery. Make sure it is above the fuse tap wire for future cable management.


Then install the ground to the battery. You only need to barely loosen the nut. Don't use power tools like in the video. That is a bad idea. Very easy to either over tighten or break a wire/ terminal. I made sure that this wire is on top of the cable to the battery and the in line fuse wire, that way there is room and slack when removing the negative battery terminal in the future.


Cable manage a bit, get ready to mount the box.


Run the control pad wire to the grommet behind and on top of the fuse box.


Now secure the box to the fender and cable manage.


Ok in the video they had you just pull the grommet out and run the cable around the edge. Don't do that. Instead carefully stab the grommet in an x pattern. Look where the wire harness goes from the engine bay to above the pedals. Don't cut into the harness. There is tons of room to cut into the grommet while missing the wires.


Now install the control pad to the center console. Connect the control cable. Cable manage it. I cable tied the excess into a bunch and tucked it near the kicker speaker. Then I zip tied the cable in two spots, by the pedal light and near the center console. You don't want the cable falling down and interfering with the pedals. Make sure that can't happen.

Finally got around to putting the trailrax shovel/axe mount on.

Now I'm fire season legal.

That is next on my list.

I took the doors off for the first time last week and had to put them back on last night due to weather forecast. Removing was relatively easy. Getting them back on was a challenge with only two hands & eyes... Will search for tips on making the next time easier.

A 2nd pair of hands makes putting them back on MUCH easier!

I need to find an axe with a UV resistant synthetic handle.

Not sure how well wood will hold up to a soggy oregon winter, fall, spring, and occasional summer rain.

I refreshed the module tracker 50 times, checked the Pizza tracker another 50, and looked at my Ford App another 50 to see if she was built yet.

Ask the trees ;-)

Ask the trees ;-)

Or ask any yard tool that gets left outside and the handle splits.

Just like many of us here, we’ve all done that at one time or another ! Your in the home stretch now

Added the trans and crossmember protection today. Ready to hit the trails!!

Went visit my daughter during her work break this evening. Good shot of Area51 and Azure.
