Just picked up my tow hitch package today. It looks like this sucker is going to require removal of the bumper. The fastener nuts are welded to the hitch.
I am doing the wiring myself and then the dealer said they would charge 1hr shop labor ($150) to do the programming.
Burned my pass points...
Take a peek under your brand new car. I was a bit surprised to see rust. Dealer says there shouldnāt be any rust, they are all coated or treated to prevent rust. He shrugged it off as nothing to be concerned about.
Iāve been reading about rust coverter (spray paint), rust removers, and WD-40...
I picked up a 24 Everglades from a dealer that a customer backed out of. It pretty much had all the specs I wanted except it does not have a tow hitch (yet).
The dealer removed the Everglades decal for me.

Thank you for this information @RagnarKon I really appreciate the insight.
On the Accessories site none of the dealers near me show up as available to do the installation. The nearest dealer is 3 1/2 hours away. I called them and the parts guy quoted me $1290 for parts/install. I didn't...
I picked up my rig yesterday 2/17/24). It has rust on all of the bare metal parts.
I was planning to have rust prevention seal coating doneā¦.but looks like Iāll be asking about treating or using rust remover first.
Hopefully the shop guys have a solution or some experience with the issue.
I just played an exciting game of āwill the cooler fit?!ā
turns out I won!
The Way Cooler MP90 does fit in the back of the 24 Everglades. There is room to spare on each side to lift/drop handles too.
Iām really glad I donāt need to buy a new cooler that fits.
this cooler is: 40l x 19d x 17h
The parts guy at the for dealer or probably a good off road mod shop can suggest several options that will give your buddy a bumper, winch and front camera relocation kit. This is not the only person that needs a front camera / winch solution. When money is not an issue there are options.

I just picked up a stock Everglades today. The wiring is in and ready for plug/tow.
If you have a Bronco with a tow package itās time to buy a raft and trailer. Problem solved.
This pencils out to $507 installed.
I am curious to know if you install without the dealer programming will the brake/blinker/running lights work on the 4 pin trailer lights?
Is the dealer programming for the 7 pin functionality?
I have about 1k miles to burn before I need to know.
Iām like an 8 yr old waiting for Christmas morningā¦.pickup time is noon on Saturday! Dealer called tonight to explain they went through my OCD for expectant owners checklist.
The UPS guy is dropping off Amazon packages almost daily.

Rock rails, running boards, pinch weld covers, factory rock rails....there are a lot of options out there...
I ordered the IAG EZ step full length board for the 4 door. These connect directly to the factory "rock rails" or whatever they call them. I...
This whole thread is making me thirsty. Thank you for sharing your build. Very impressive work on the DIY vinyl.
I didnāt catch if you tinted the front windows. I saw some DIY tint kits posted recently. That would give your Kraken that dark eye look.
The cargo space build looks great too...
The reservation window is open now for Honeyman Memorial State Park for the Northwest Roundup Week/weekend. I just reserved Aug 13-18th. You can reserve a site now and cancel or change your reservation later if your plans change. I think a small fee to reserve or cancel. I know the OR coast in...
The tracker wonāt tell you thatā¦.only mods, tear tag, built, shipped.
My tear tag was 1/9, Built 1/11, Shipped 1/17.
The ford tracker is also not instantaneousā¦.it might update with dates for you 2-3 days after the event.
Once itās on the train though, is when the realtime tracking fun...
