lol I’ll be dead before that happens

We will all get complimentary brand new painted tops and shortly after that, they will introduce a Lincoln badged Bronco!

Did you delete the honeycomb piece? Or reinstall it?

Replaced with the Metalcloak clearance kit. It's the shiny zinc coated pieces you can see bolted on now. I was getting really bad rubbing and tearing things up.

A question for @Ducati1098 relating to recalls. I had the front driveshaft recall and removed my Asfir transmission skid before taking it in and plan to do the same when I get the fuel pump recall done as the skid is not OEM and maybe not considered part of the covered recall repairs. I also have a RC hidden winch which could in theory be in the way for this one (and would be a pain to remove), wiring for various aftermarket stuff on the drivers inner fender and mudflaps which would be in the way if it's the fenderwell harness.

What's the policy on dealing with non OEM parts that need to be removed to complete recall repairs?

I was kind of wondering about this as well. I feel like a lot of us with air compressor mounts in that front passenger side area could possibly be a hindrance.

This is the reason I haven’t done the rear camera recall. Tailgate table + tailgate air compressor install would need to be removed. I wouldn’t want the dealer to remove and reinstall it. Heck I don’t want to do it!

Yeah I'm already thinking I don't really want them doing this with my engine harness. Once I get more info I will probably just plan on doing it myself.

I love how they generalize the fix as being just "tape" . When obviously the tape is just holding the protective sheathing in place...

Could this be what's causing my non-front-camera-having bronco to be telling me that my front camera is temporarily unavailable for the last few weeks??

All broncos have a front camera. It's in the windshield.

Dealer would need to get any additional labor to remove and reinstall aftermarket parts approved by SSSC

Poked around my engine bay and general visible harness points. Everything seems fine. But I did notice the part of the harness that runs across the crossmember by the pass. side radiator fan shroud was making some contact with one of the shroud sections.

These pics are after I pried it away a bit, but it was resting solidly on the shroud - no real damage noticed and still had plenty of clearance from the fan itself. Going to throw a zip tie down there in a bit. Crazy, this is the third plumbing/wiring spot in my engine bay that I've had to throw a zip tie or make small adjustments to, due to chafing and contact.

EDIT: Threw on a zip tie, much more clearance now.

Seems like this could be linked to what started my fire, given the description and general location (passenger side).

In the meantime...double-checked the gauge on my fire extinguisher.

Do you happen to have a link to that bracket? I just ordered an H3R fire extinguisher but looking for a mounting bracket. Also, does it get in the way with seat movement or passengers legs?

Recalls are handled free of charge, in or out of factory warranty.

Yeah, but they are still a pain. Takes several hours, and I don't know any dealers who do warranty or recall work on weekends. So, unless it's really important, I'm going to continue to ignore them.

Yea, recall being weekday only really sucks.
