Meet Minty, my 2dr on 37's, "Vintage" Build Thread!

It was actually a cooler day today, so I got the upgraded, longer SS bolts put in the spare tire carrier!

I found a rear camera extension fiber wire, so I used it this time and it made installing the modified carrier much easier to install!

I ordered extended length lugnuts, but whatever the morons at Extreme Terrain sold me are not extended length..., hell they're not even what I ordered! They're standard black lugnuts...

Made sure the cameras both still worked afterwards?

Well, I noticed Friday night, as I was hooking up my trailer, to run grab something at Lowe's, that my passengers side light has done the same as the rest.

Mine are just a hair over 2 years old... No other light looks good to me, so I'll be throwing the stock ones back in!

I'm glad I had a bad feeling about these lights, after reading the reviews a couple years ago, and kept them! I hate the OEM tail lights, but have no choice now...

Mine died a couple of weeks ago after almost three years. They do make a version 2 that is supposed to address the issues with them. I agree, best looking 6G taillight out there.

First - this has to be one of the coolest 6G Bronco's on here!! Reading through this thread is like a master-class on how to go from Awesome to "Unbelievable"! Nice work on the Bronco and documenting it all!

Second - you clearly have the coolest wife on earth to let you get away with spending so much $ and time on your car! Some guys have all the luck!

Thanks, but we have no children, which helps a lot. But she has her own Bronco too.

Both my parents have passed, left a decent inheritance, what better way to spend it

And if you do all of the work yourself, it's definitely easier on the wallet, LOL!

Tonight, I removed the junky Oracle tail lights and reinstalled my OEM lights and grateful that I kept the OEM ones! Took a couple of days to get my FORScan license so I could change the settings back to the OEM LED's lights...

Finally found something, on Etsy, for the 4x4 shifter to "hopefully" keep our dogs from accidentally stepping on the buttons and putting our Broncos into 4wd? It's quite bulky, but as long as it works like the seller says it should, it shouldn't be an issue for us. The flipping up lid is the only issues I see that may fail...? I wish the seller just made it without the flip up part, as it's a friction fit over the know, meaning it's not difficult to remove, put into 4lo and stick it back on... Or just remove it and put it back on once you're done off-roading...
