+1 on GoatFab. I love mine. Decent step. Good protection. Body mounted but they work for me. Can hold the vehicles weight when pivoting. Simple to install

I want to ensure I understand this chart correctly. For a 4dr Badlands non-SAS, with 3/4" thread showing, the 8112's provide 2" of lift above stock (assuming I also start running 35s and replace the OEM 33s)? Also, thanks @popo_patty for the video. Fun to watch. I like the whoops. Where did you...

Ah yes. I remember that hole. And I think I abandoned it because of the connectors already attached. I remember a few weeks later crawling under the rear to inspect and realizing my zip ties were inadequate as the wire loom shield was against the muffler and partially melted. Glad I caught it...

I assume you can also label the channels, eg GMRS1, GMRS2 etc to make them easy to identify. That correct?

Doesn’t look like the Yaesu 400 or 500 radios are supported by Chirp programming software. How’s the Yaesu software native to the radio? Fairly easy?

Hey @CoolContractor what coilovers you considering? I’m in the same boat. Looking to upgrade my 4dr Badlands to 35s once my KO2s are done. At 38k miles and they are still in fairly good shape but chewed up from trails. adding new wheels certainly increases the expense too. Oh well.

Correct. I still retain the OEM recovery loops though. Just in case. I like how it sounds when they scrape rock... :wink: I didn't measure and look super closely. But it looks very close in size to the current plate bumper. Didn't stand out as looking more bulky to me. They had a test vehicle...

The grounding thread is excellent! Thx for sharing. I’ve a lot to learn. But these threads are super helpful and have made automotive electrical much clearer. Also makes me want to replace the fuse on my compressor wire with a good one. Did you also attach the winch ground block using tape?

I had the chance to see this bumper in person at UBB in Sand Hollow. I really like it. Wish I had it! Hope you get the install issues resolved. As others have said, Turn has great customer support. They did me a solid with their rear bumper and re-designed it after I reported an issue. also saw...

Ok interesting. So the ground block is tied directly back to the battery NEG. I didn’t realize that’s the equivalent of a ground! I should watch more YouTube videos

Thanks for the annotated pic. Makes sense. And @SierraBronco I just noticed the distribution block in the upper right. Is that for grounds only? And how did you mount the fuse block (with the $$$ fuse!) to the top of the OEM fusebox?

AAL sells a custom wiring loom that makes the install easy (of course you still gotta remove all the interior panels to run the power from the rear to the battery. But it’s not that bad once you get the hang of removing the panels)

Ok cool. So there’s a very short run (not visible in your pic) from the battery to the relay. That correct?

@SierraBronco I’d like to clarify the winch electrical setup. You go straight off the positive battery terminal to the 500a relay with no fuse? And then from the 500a relay to the winch with no fuse? The Stinger 500a relay doc suggests a fuse between the battery and the relay. Looked back at...

UncleBrad is correct and AI for the win. Plus you can also learn this from reading Apple’s detailed CarPlay tech doc. I’ve know this ever since I got an aftermarket CarPlay wireless headset for an old car. These headsets also use their own GPS antennas that are not always installed in optimal...

Hey @nolimits will batterycablesUSA add an inline fuse holder? Or do I just get two shorter lengths of cable to go from a 500amp relay ->inline fuse holder->battery terminal ?

Was this at UBB Sand Hollow on Friday? I watched Matt’s Offroad finish the recovery from atop the hill. Yeah I dragged someone out of the sand later that same day. The stuck guy started unwrapping his new flat tow strap. I said no we’ll use my kinetic rope. Two gentles tugs and he was loose...

I just saw someone with a 1/2 rack carrying skis. While they do hang off the back somewhat I may switch over for hauling skis. The full rack (OEM cheap Chinese knockoff) is super loud. And I only mount it in winter. If the half rack isn’t too loud then I may keep it mounted year round.

I’d check with the dealer first before buying a 3rd party battery. On my VW GTI I was surprised to learn the dealer had the lowest price, even less than Walmart. But I’ve never shopped a Bronco battery. In general Walmart is an excellent place for batteries as there’s huge turnover and they are...

Ha! Same here! Now I always look.
