I had this happen after installing cowl lights but was not quite this severe. Went back and ordered a mounting plate that crosses the seam of these two pieces and helps keep it all flush.
I ceramic coated my top. If you are doing it yourself I recommend testing a small area first and leaving it for a bit to make sure it doesn't effect the coloring. Mine looked great at first but aft a rainy day the plastic looked old and tired. Luckily this has since gone away but it freaked me...
I have the trailrax unit you mentioned with the side mount and itās great. They also offer just the side mount if you donāt want the full roof rack: https://www.trailrax.com/collections/ford-bronco/products/pak-rax-kit-for-the-ford-bronco
A lot of the photos Iāve seen of these units it looks like the daytime running lights are segmented or not a clean solid line of light the way the oem lights are. Is this true or is it just the camera playing tricks?
Alright, you guys convinced me, placed my order. Was trying to hold out for the fun-haver bumper release but the havoc bumper really ticks all the boxes. They are having a little sale right now if anyone is on the fence.
Mine have been on since February and holding up surprisingly well. Install is a little tricky to get on perfectly. Intended it to be a temporary solution but they have lasted through beach drives and power washes.
Iāve been spot treating rust as I find it with this product: https://por15.com/collections/3-step-rust-preventive-system
Not a perfect solution but makes me feel a little better and certainly looks better than rust. It dries hard so no worry about it coming off or collecting debris. So far...
Dealer had my bronco for a week looking at the lurching issue before I had to take it back, no progress on a fix yet. It seems to be happening pretty regularly in 3rd and 4th above 50% throttle, at least thatās how Iām able to most reliably recreate it. Curious if everyone else has the same...
This is probably a long shot but curious if you had the lurching/stuttering issue some manual owners are complaining of and if youāve noticed itās stopped since getting the tune.
I thought that at first also but it has happened to me a bunch of times under higher load, higher rpm range scenarios. Who knows, at least Ford seems to be paying attention to the issue. Optimistic it will get figured out.
Iāve been thinking this may be a software issue also. Even though this seems to happen randomly I have most successfully been able to recreate it under higher load situations. Iām bringing my bronco into the dealer to have them take a look this Saturday, letās see what they say.
I didnāt notice any meaningful change In wind noise. I think it is actually a touch quieter when the roof panels are off with the rack vs. without it.
these are the white water version, just plasti-dipped them black. So far itās working out great and holding up well. Just tape off the center portion that the mount goes through and the cap thread.
I use the water for rinsing off after being in the ocean, if they get some sun it heats up the...
