Camera is below the license plate angled down...pretty well sorted out bracket.

I finally got mine all dialed in and I am liking it... I also sourced the super cool off-road shovel from back East that straps to my Raptor hinges and I have the 4 gallon fuel carrier and a 1.5 gallon water carrier all tucked nicely without taking up my entire rear window. I also found the...

Perfectly flat.

The plate does sit directly on the tailgate...even with several different plates on and off on my Bronco there has been no paint damage, with no protectant, but if you do want to get a couple inch wide strip of the 3M from Amazon that would do it. After you snug the eight M8 bolts to about 15 lb...

My pleasure! Great product you make... something that might work for the folks who need only slightly more clearance is to remove the washer from the ball stud, but they would then have to cut off several threads from the ball stud in order to keep it from contacting the tailgate when snugging...

I just mounted my tailgate limiter from M2M and it was a quick and easy install. I also have the shorter strut that I had been using, which is also a great solution for limiting the tailgate opening to 90°, however it is a charged strut and not a damper...so the tailgate springs open and you...

These?

Probably not a big deal for experienced wrenchers but I imagine someone's going to not pay attention to the torque values or holding the shaft and then they're going to go gorilla on it or they're going to go kid gloves on it and have some kind of a failure as a result of either technique... the...

Street cred for the flying Bronco but note that per Ford the rack shaft needs to be held in place whilst removing or installing the tie rod to prevent damage and there is a torque spec for the tie rod for both ends (and the jam nut)...I used a crescent wrench to hold the shaft and crow foot...

That is a good trick. If speed is what we are after, I posit that while crawling under a hot Bronco after repairing something on the trail that it is still easier and faster to throw an Oetiker clamp on (one-handed if need be) and to also use the simple pincer tool to tighten it (also one-handed...

I like simplicity as much as many...but for me, having a couple extra Oetikers on hand (especially considering other clamps on our vehicles use the same 10 dollar tool) is not a big hardship. It takes me less time to use the same tool to squeeze hard enough to break the old clamp as is does to...

The bonus is that the OEM one and the McMaster-Carr are both Oetiker 69.5...same same.

I especially like that they ship a logo that screws on but you can simply choose to not screw it on and then little teeny plugs cover the holes and it's not very noticeable at all...much better than the manufacturers who cut their logos into the bumper itself and you can't get rid of it IMHO.

An inquiring mind would like to know...if we can get the OEM clamps for just over 50 cents a piece, and they work as originally intended, and the company generally ships within one day (a bag of 10 clamps for just over $6) why do some folks choose to use other types of clamps which granted will...

McMaster-Carr.

If you want OEM ones cheap (exact matches) these are the ones:

It doesn't stick out too far...you can get it without swing out carrier...it works with tow hitch...if you don't want sensors it comes with plugs. It is also cheaper at Northridge 4x4 than from manufacturer.

That is a very valid point...in all honesty I think a lot of people get excited about all the cool stuff they can add, when in fact the reality of it ever being used is probably slim to none. Even so, I also added a water carrier (Rollpax) and with my limited two-door interior space now I can...

...yet...here is hoping it remains issue free! I suspect all of us running up to 37s would probably be okay it's just that for anybody who wants to carry anything extra on the back that a reinforcement plate becomes more attractive/necessary. I have a two-door and I figured that adding a gas can...
