I have a soft top, but did ceramic coat all textured plastic surfaces of my bronco, including mirror caps, handles, and fender flares. Works great.
(as someone else said, just don't wax it 🤣 )
Me too...double yikes!
Is it weird that I'm sort of relieved that this is now happening on the HWY rather than off-road? I'd much rather this be a problem isolated to a bad batch of fuel pumps than an issue with the overall design when taking steep angles.
No problems here either. Maybe try slightly adjusting pitch and yaw angles of the lights.
Also, mine are on a JCR bracket. I'd imagine small tweaks could potentially make a big difference in windflow/noise.
Oh sweet! I actually like the Vanguard much better than the factory Capable plus winch plate. I think I'm just going to wait until then. Can we get on a waitlist for the new Vanguard?
This is fricking great news. I think my bumper search is over and I'm going to roll with the plate and camera relocate!
Edited to add: Before I pull the trigger on this, @JcrOffroad where are we with making the Vanguard bumper ACC compliant?
I also have a badsquatch, mine was delivered in April. I had to make a similar decision as you did. There are a couple of considerations:
If you go with the capable bumper you save like $800 and get a fog light switch, harness and lights (but you'll eventually be ditching the lights I would...
So the Badland Apex fits in the bumper, but the solenoid pack is too big for the relocation to the engine bay? I was planning on rolling with the badland winch also, but now I'm wondering if I should just get the EVO 12 S if I go with this option.
I really wanted a bumper that relocated the ACC sensor to the front of the bumper so that it would guarantee that it worked but I'm slowly coming around to this bumper after all of the good reviews.
I love the "tube wings" on the side of this one, and love the position of the winch. Just wish...
