Agree completely.
As a early reservation holder and only had to wait 965 days for my Badlands order to come through, in that time I lost the formerly-standard-bit-of-kit "HD" bumper (also not very heavy duty).
Went aftermarket front and rear then sold the factory partial sheet metal OEM...
If i'm caught out in the rain sans roof, I will just remind myself that my skin is essentially waterproof and I have a clothes dryer.
As for the Bronco: Well, the roof comes off, these things will happen. Hope the "waterproofing" of the dials and buttons works!
NP, It was awesome that the other thread gave you the input to sort out this rats nest (pun intended).
Sadly they won't cover rodent damage under warranty, and the wiring harnesses for coil packs are usually fairly integrated with the ignition system. This one is going to suck to fix :(
Would be good housekeeping to request your other thread get taken down as it's duplicative.

Glad you found the problem, sorry it's rodent related though.
Those newer post-war cars like your '56, and especially the Ford's with their higher output generators, always had 2 good starts in them.
Heck, your little space ship even has drum brakes, another post-war engineering marvel. Bet you can get THREE good stops in, you lucky bastard.
Only...
And here I thought I had enough history here for people to take me seriously. It's a bitter pill to swallow.
The tac-4 went on my Fico just like you say, bolted right up! (With minor modifications)
Stumbled across this off road rig on 50" tires and think I want to try and fit a similar set on the Bronco.
What will I need to modify? UCA's and crash bar relocation? What else?
Tires are 1000/50R25's
If you're going north from Texas to Wyoming, assume you'll hit snow.
FWIW, if I was going to hit Zion, I would plan for all 5 major national parks in SE Utah. Our personal ranking from hitting them all was:
1. Bryce
2. Canyonlands
Bonus: Moab!
3. Capitol Reef
4. Zion (assume you won't be...
Few product questions on the Jerry mount and brace:
1. What gauge steel are you using on the brace?
2. Do you intend to include a range limiter with the (eventual) jerry mount or just use existing products available (M2M being the currently available limiter)
3. Do you intend to make a 5 gal...
Personal opinion here, but I won't be timorous because having any counter opinion must be silenced on these digital pages. It would be very difficult to put the IAG as a top performer due to the quizzical choice of using cast aluminum.
No doubt it will work when new, but cast aluminum is far...
A valid question.
FWIW, just purchased a trailer hitch 2 days ago and would have compared this as it has a nice 4-pin mount.
But you just can't beat Curt's 2-stage paint system. Better than powdercoating.
I'll repost this again, again. But you do need to have more knowledge on what an UCA is doing and what you're trying to solve more so than a blanket "will this work".
There is an excellent video you should watch on thesubject.
Thats confusing. If they just knock down the surface with wet sanding you shouldn't have to spray anything (ie: color match).
Knocking down the imperfections flat absolutely won't prevent there from being issues in the tinted clear that remains, it will be visible.
Or they take the area down...
Hot Pepper Red? Tri-coats are always a bit more tricky to spray but the factory should be able to do that without dried nozzles flecking goop into the wet paint.
If it's HPR, color matching that will be an epic PITA, you really have to weigh if you like the color match more than you like the...
