Beautiful. That looks like a $500 box of McMaster goodies. Haha. Have you rattle-tested it yet? Or is that after powdercoating and foam?

Correct, it does not include shipping.

Barely used AAL fire extinguisher mount. With two sets of hose clamps. $40 OBO.

Haha. If we had more dunes out here I could definitely see the appeal of a Raptor. Sierras are rocky, though, so that's our primary play area. And the trails can be narrow.

We ordered a '25 Badlands Sasquatch w/ Lux and HOSS 3.0. Got the employee pricing when that was offered last summer. Over my wife's objections we went with the washout interior (she really wanted leather and power seats). To me, this is the perfect spec. This may be an unpopular take, but to me...

Oh damn. Yes, those would have been perfect for my application.

unexpected monty python. haha.

The Apex stuff is pretty. I'd already committed to a Morrflate system, but I kinda wish I'd found Apex first.

Thanks for the inspiration (and the parts list). My install here.

My attempt at cleaner engine bay wiring here. SAPS plus a PDM and lots of Deutsch connectors, heat shrink, and braided loom.

I like your brackets. Re: the relays, I can now run all six AUX switches with 30A relays if I want to. The SAPS has four 20A standard automotive fuse holders, plus three midi fuse holders. I’m using one of the 20A fuses for my light bar, and two of the midis for the ARB. The PDM still has...

Despite putting an order in for a '21 Bronco, it took us until 2025 to actually pull the trigger on our Bronco Badlands w/ Lux and HOSS 3.0. This has given me LOTS of time to see what others have done on the forums and to generate an expensive wishlist of upgrades and best practices. After...

I originally asked the question because I'm about to install the ARB brushless twin and am navigating the wiring. It appears I'll have to extend the power leads a smidge to connect them to my power distribution, so I was looking to re-pin the connectors supplied by ARB rather than use a butt...

Yes, but the fuse is supposed to protect the circuit. It's really an ARB issue, since they supplied a connector that is right at the limit for the listed current draw. Metri Pack 630 (I incorrectly said 480 previously) connectors are rated to 46A. It just means the fuses aren't really doing what...

I understand that you'd want the fuse to be higher than the load, even if using a slow-blow fuse. And that each motor should draw a max of 45A. But am I wrong to think that the connector should at least be rated higher than the fuse? I was under the impression that the fuse is there to protect...
