Circling back to pass along that if you are interested in a heated blade option, I'd suggest to order direct from ThermalBlade. The GateKeeper kit is an attractive option as it is promoted as fairly turnkey and everything you need. Based on my experience, however.... At the time I ordered...

I ordered the Gatekeeper kit and had a couple of follow up questions for you - any issues with the 18" size blade in the kti versus the 17" OEM on the Bronco? I know these are a pretty straight forward install, but I had my rig at the shop for some other mods and just had them do this at the...

Ah ha... I just realized you replied to my post that was a question to @AWDSOME, who did use the brushless and also had pics of the install in a red bronco.... Sorry for the confusion of not recognizing the mix up.

thank you - I did start to look through that photo gallery and noticed it was the classic compressor, so I didn't catch it was the same install.... Did you end up swapping from the classic to the brushless? If so, what was your comparison of the two - especially with operating temp.

So you ran electrical and ground through the cab and the airline under the body? Where did you route the airline after leaving the DV8 box, since you put the chuck along the hitch in the other direction? Did you need to make any mods to mount the brushless to the DV8 box mounting points? Did...

Curious - do your slide mounts sit flat on the cargo floor, of do you have spacers below them? I havent' seen the newer mounting option (yet) and this looks like you may be using that.

Initial report out that the tray performed as expected on my trip. There are 3 items I'm working with Chris on for some additional refinements - but he has been very responsive and I fully expect items will be resolved for my specific needs. The items we are working on... Floor attachments -...

Sorry for the delay - weather and life delayed the install. So, first I'll start off by saying Chris included a personallized bonus surprise for me that I had no idea was included until I finally got around to opening the boxes. I feel bad it took me multiple months to know it and thank him...

Normally I wouldn't jump back into the thread to add to the above, but this was too head shaking worthy not to. A Warn Technical Service Representative responded to one of my emails, couldn't speak to the cause of the water penetration, but did mention it could have been a bad seal (which was...

It's on my weekend plans - hopefully will have both dry and warm enough weather here in mid-Michigan.

Just sharing for awarness what I hope won't be a common occurence with the Warn Zeon XD winch platform. My winch was installed on an ADD bumper on my Raptor last February-ish. It stays on year-around. It's not covered and the winch gets minimal use. My Bronco is my everday driver, in...

I know folks have used the ARB dual in the DV8 storage box without issue - but when I was looking at options and asked DV8 about running the compressor with that lid closed - this is the response I got. I generally don't plan to empty the back of the rig to need to air up, so being able to run...

The shop I worked with for the install ended up having a custom bracket fabricated. When all was done, I put together a build thread - https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/2024-bronco-raptor-bumpers-winch-and-lights-build.117710/

I liked the look and function of that when it first came out (which was after I was already down the build path with OffRoadRelics). Broaddict was not in favor of using the top panel to mount other things to when I reached out to them (other than the existing mounting points on the sides) - and...

Chris was awesome and meticulous to work with, which also equated to it taking considerably longer than I expected. That said, two large boxes with the custom configuration he put together for me arrived while I was away on my last off road trip for the seaon and it's been sitting in its boxes...
