I just purchased and installed the latest version of the stabilizer bar, MB3Z-5482-Y. I wired it up as suggested in this thread, but it is not working. I have power out of the plug. When the aux switch is flipped on and off I can hear a clicking sound within the sta bar but nothing happens...
I had good luck with this one for over a year but it stopped working recently and I haven't had time to troubleshoot it. I wired it to an upfitter switch and connect to it with a tablet mounted in the cabin. If I can't get it to work I will connect the 2nd one I bought and see how long that...
I have had the one from Goat Fabrication mounted for a couple of years. I appreciate the simple, clean look and it allows me to mount items at the edges of the dash to avoid cluttering everything in the middle. It also works with a USB dash hub to power everything easily.
My Bronco lives outside during the cold winters so I keep a small cooler with Gatorade bottles and emergency food bars in it. The Gatorade supposedly has a lower freezing point than water and the cooler also seems to help it resist freezing.
I would prefer the cross bars on the rack have T slots. Also, has the rack been confirmed to fit all of the painted tops or does it have issues like other racks? I believe it is due to differing depths of the mounting slots of the hardtop.
You can find them on Amazon for a lot less. I have the ones from Mabett. Mine don't see hard use but after a couple of years I have had no issues with them.
