Thanks for saving me the work! Let me know how it turns out!
Somehow the gap doesn't leak after spraying water directly at it, so I will probably just ignore it or add some additional weather stripping.
I have that issue on my 2nd row panel and I thought it was from installing the jtops as it sits under the bracket that the 2nd row panel attaches to. Now I'm thinking it has always been like that!
I just drilled some holes in a couple 4x4s and then threw some foam pad material on top that I had laying around. Fits like a glove. I'll be adding a shelf above the fridge and cabinet to eventually move this up to so it doesn't take up my table space. I have a winch on a trolly system to be...
Thanks. Eibach coilovers and 3/4" wheel spacers. Barely rubs on the front crash bar mount at full stuff and wheel turned all the way, but no where near enough to want to do anything about it. Just a bit of paint rubbed off at the outboard edge.
Over the last couple weeks I have:
Installed ARB skid plates
Cut down RCI crossmember skid plates at the rear inner corners so they could fit with the ARB skids
Installed JTops Bimini Top
Installed Rockworkx hardtop bolts
Installed mabbett cargo liner and seat back covers
Taken it on a couple...
That's a very appealing price! Accomodates all the sensors and even has brackets to reinforce the frame horns. If only it didn't have the branding on the side!
I just posted about this the other day in another thread. While mine doesn't whistle, I can see a gap in the seal down the entire edge on the right side and most of the left side as a result of the bracket being 'shimmed' up. I need to wash the Bronco after going off roading on Saturday, so my...
These turn offroad sliders have had my eye. I keep going back and forth between frame and body mounted. Leaning towards body mounted for clearance and I think the options out there look better. I'm sure I'll change my mind again tomorrow...
Just tried to use the video today. Ran a couple trails and then shut the bronco down before I remembered to stop the recording. Started it up and it didn't resume, now I have a 2gb file that cannot be played and it doesn't show up in my feed. Super disappointed.
So first off, I just wanted to say that I love my jtops bimini! I've had the hardtop off the Bronco for weeks.
However, in preparation for an off road trip tomorrow, I noticed that after reinstalling the center panel there is a gap at the seal along the sides. This is likely due to the metal...
Here's what mine looked like after cutting. It's still close to rubbing on the back side, less then 1/8" gap, but I figured it's best to keep as much material as possible.
I went with 0.75" Bora Spacers, which gave me the best offset for running 37's and no lift. Just cleared the crash bar mount on the front and the slider in the back. The pockets on the backside of the sasquatch wheels are just deep enough to clear the studs protruding from the spacers. 0.75"...
I imagine that's why ARB adds in the stamped beaded stiffeners to their skids. To help with strength/bending. Though that clearly didn't work in this case.
I'd be curious how RCIs 3/16" skid would hold up in comparison as the way it mounts is not triangulated like the ARB skid is.
Bump... reduced price on the bilsteins.
For those interested in the rear sway bar, I will get with you as soon as possible. Had business travel, vacation, and a broken ankle over the last couple weeks and it has kept me tied up.
Stage 2? You need to lower the front or get new upper control arms.
I was close to maxed out on camber installing mine out of the box, but I think the extra weight of the 2.7L engine and bumper helped keep the front lower and my alignment in spec compared to your setup.
