I wanted to share a few thoughts on some @Mountains2Metal products I recently picked up. A couple of these are pretty new, and I couldn’t find much info on them beforehand, so I figured this might help anyone else considering them.
Drop Down Attic (2-door)
I bought this right after it was...
This spring, I’ll be taking a road trip from Ohio to North Carolina with my wife and our niece. We’ll be staying with family, but we’re also planning a “side quest” to the coast to camp on the beach for one night. I know we’ll need something to expand the cargo capacity of my 2-door.
Right now...
I noticed that Ford Performance Parts is now selling the Raptor headlights as an upgrade kit for all Broncos (link below). From looking at the photos, it appears as though they come with the headlights themselves and some sort of module. For those of you who have installed pull-off Raptor...
Currently, my Black Diamond has both MIC fender flares and a MIC grille. While I don’t love the design of the grille, I do appreciate that it matches the fender flares (and hard top). When I started looking into buying either a Badlands or Wildtrack grille to replace mine, I was a little...
I purchased a set of Form Lighting headlights and tail lights from @4x4TruckLEDs.com during their Black Friday sale. I received them last week and have a few observations/questions after installing and using them for the past week. I’m hoping others who have them can chime in. If what I’m seeing...
Are there specific torque specs for the three bolts that attach the headlights (2x 10mm and 1x 8mm)? I just installed the Form Lighting headlights, and I want to make sure I don’t over tighten the bolts (and risk breaking the plastic), but I also don’t want the headlights to be too loose.
I received my Form Lighting headlights and taillights yesterday that I ordered during the Black Friday sale. I installed the headlights this morning, and I noticed that mine were slightly different than the ones that the installation video and guide show. Specifically, the connector that...
I drive to work right at that peak time just before sunrise, when there tend to be a lot of deer out and about. It’s not uncommon for me to come across three to five groups of deer crossing the road, or standing on the side of the road, each morning. I’m trying to come up with the best solution...
Today, the Ford Pass app on my iPhone stopped working to remote start, lock, and unlock my Bronco. The app still reports the vehicle location, mileage, fuel, tire pressure, etc. correctly. It’s just the ability to control the vehicle that doesn’t work. I tried restarting my phone, and logging...
The grille on my Black Diamond is the same color/material as my fender flares (a matte black and slightly textured plastic). Does the grille that comes with the Badlands (smaller holes) come in that same color/material, or is it only in carbonized gray or painted black?
I’m looking to replace my current grille (Black Diamond) with either an OEM Badlands grille or an aftermarket one with the same appearance. I’ve found a few used options online in the $250 range, but I’m not familiar enough with the market to know if that’s a good price. I was hoping someone...
For Broncos that are prewired for trailer wiring, but don’t have the module installed, does the connector do anything? I thought I remembered reading somewhere that it was partially functional even without the wiring (like it had reverse lights but no brake/turns), but I could be imagining things.
When I purchased my Bronco, it had a front license plate bracket. I removed it, and noticed some scuffing on the capable bumper where it rubbed. Today, I noticed some of the paint in that scuffed area started to chip. What is my best option to touch up this area? I did some searching, and found...
I currently have the factory fog lights that came with my 2024 Black Diamond. I’m considering getting the Morimoto XB EVO+ lights to replace them. I like the fact that they can switch between amber and white. I’m curious, though, how much (if any) of an improvement they’d be over what I already...
I’m considering getting new headlights and tail lights this week (thanks to BF sales). I’m curious if anyone can weigh in on the pros/cons of purchasing from someplace like @4x4TruckLEDs.com over buying straight from the manufacturer. Typically I would buy straight from the source, but I’m open...
I have a 2024 Bronco. I previously installed a Curt hitch. I'm now interested in completing the wiring so I can use the connector that is pre-wired to the back of the vehicle. I know Ford sells the complete kit (including a hitch), but I'm hoping to just buy the trailer module itself since I...
Last night, I came up with what I think is a slightly creative solution to the lack of interior lighting in the Bronco. As I was doing some other interior work, I realized the strap on my Sofirn HS21 headlamp was about the same width as the velcro straps I occasionally use to attach things to my...
I currently have a Wolfbox G900 TriPro installed, and one of the primary uses for me is the time lapse parking mode while I'm parked at work (9-10 hours a day). My commute is relatively short (~15 min), so I've been trying to figure out the best things I can do to keep my battery as charged as...
I’m interested in upgrading my base headlights. I’m currently leaning towards either the Form Lighting headlights, or finding a pair of Raptor headlights on ebay. I like the Form lights, but there’s an appeal in getting something that is OEM in terms of reliability. From what I can tell, a pair...
With Black Friday sales just around the corner, I'm considering an upgrade to my current power station. Whichever brand I go with, I'm planning on getting an alternator charger to go with it. From comparing the three companies mentioned in the title, it seems like EcoFlow is the only one that...
