Charger1 done. I’ve got it temp in place due to the “the 7 clear space from all the sides”. Although other Bluetti YouTube seem a little lax on that, “just needs proper airflow”. lol which seems to be to Their unpublished discretion. I’ll probably move it this winter..
zip tied to head...
No, not a tow kit. I was back to the Bluetti Charger1 install. I started it. Got the B&M shifter in and switched to installing the shifter. This was going BACK to work on the Bluetti.
Looks like 4’ of washer line… I was thinking I should‘ve got longer but 4‘ just made it. it’s not much $$ to get 5’, to be safe. I brought that little part that connects to the camera with me to make sure it fit. We just went to the back were they have bulk tubing, checked the fit, then...
Pretty much. Used that license plate bracket in the kit. It's pretty beefy. Figured it would be a good support. Just needed to drill two holes in it.
I used what looks like a DV8 clone (cheapest camera mount I could find on amazon to try..)
Camera Relocate Mount
But that also meant I...
Back to Bluetti.
Got the cargo panel out. Broke one white clip. Sigh, Also seems ford shorted me on an orange clip. But I’ve got the cabing all run and zip ties. Thinking I will exit via the same opening as the washer and wiper cables. Should fit…. Not quite sure where to mount it...
B and M shifter. Install wasn’t too bad. Although I do break the top tab on both clips. Sigh. snapped it in with one tab and tossed on a zip tie until someone either 3d printed these, or ford sales them separately. It did have first gear issues, so cable adjustments were needed and got...
Had some energy, so I started in the Bluetti Charger1 install.
Pulled up the chase ways…
A lot of trying to figure it out, sliced the grommet and ran the cables out to the battery. This has to be the hardest part. What a huge pain. now that done, need to remove more panels and finish...
Installed Mabett Under-Hood Wiring Harness Bracket Kit I do like it. Not as utilitarian as I usually am. But it really cleaned up the engine firewall. Supported my arb inflator power cables and gave them a nice supported path. Didn’t even occur to me that the vacuum line was just hovering...
Got it today. Installed it today. Sure seems like something Ford shoulda done without a second thought. that firewall bracket is great to support the factory line, and arb inflator switch line and power cables. I had them kinda hangin there all droopy, and now it’s cleaned up. Well...
Looks like something I didn’t know I wanted. I’m in. I was just looking under the hood to see how to route some cables earlier for dc dc charger…. With the arb power running on the firewall, this looks like it’ll appear a lot nicer, and better supported.
Only concern, will water pool up on...
Almost finished this morning. Only need to add the replacement black Bronco Emblem The rubber bumper was a pain! I managed to pull it off screw holding it in place, used pliers amd a screwdriver on it to open it and yank the screw out. So glad kit comes with a replacement! But it’s done...
Got some motivation today! It's also too hot.. but I guess that's better than raining.
Installed one of the Ford Reinforcement hinges at lunch:
yes, it's dirty. Got back from a fun weekend, and my pressure washer is being borrowed :sadface: I did clean under the old hinge though. Used...
Somehow I had time finished up the camera. Had a the camera cable part from Amazon. Ran to o’reily’s, because they open late. Bought 4’ of washer line. And some plastic tube. Decided is just jumper it over. Doesn’t look half bad.
Even the split screen lines up really nice!
Just short...
New Rack! - Grabbed a rack from Ruxer Sale Great price. No issues. Installed that right quick. Got the clamps for my factory Rack, a pack of tie downs, and a truck bed net to keep it all secure.
Ended up with 10x10 canopy, popup tent, tables on it. A lot easier to pack and out...
Slacked on updates. Need to spool it out, add hook. Use the Rough County Extensions and Chon's sensor mounts. Also need to run camera and washer cable. Mounted camera onto the warn license plate. I just drilled a couple holes in it to mount the relocate bracket.
ACC works fine...
