  1. DIY: Raptor Fog Lights Installed on Standard Bronco

    Here is one without the wires. I assume it's correct since it's the same as the one on the back of the individual BRaptor lights https://a.aliexpress.com/_msC0NES
  2. DIY: Raptor Fog Lights Installed on Standard Bronco

    I'm following your lead on AliExpress. They have 4 and 2 wire connectors pre-wired. I'll just use a few shrink wrap butt connectors in a staggered pattern, put the wire in split loom, then wrap in cloth electrical tape and I'll be done.
  3. DIY: Raptor Fog Lights Installed on Standard Bronco

    Did you cut the ends off that I circled in red? If so, I believe what I need is a MX150 4 pin Female (BRaptor light side) and a MX 150 2 pin Female (vehicle side).
  4. DIY: Raptor Fog Lights Installed on Standard Bronco

    @2door - getting closer on my install. The BRaptor modular end caps and backing plates should be here within a week. My take-off BRaptor lights came with the harness attached (photo below). Based upon what I see in your OP, this means that I only need to build 2 harnesses (1 for each side) with...
  5. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    I was not able to do the transmission work so that is put off for a while (external work cut my time short). I also experienced another "fail to upshift" event and now I am hesitant to mess with the transmission at all. I have no idea if Ford would try to deny a warranty claim because I added an...
  6. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    Installed a set of Rockworkx hard top quick install bolts that double as a tie down point. Nice they had a gray set to match the color (Carbonized Gray).
  7. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    I would not consider 225°F unloaded to be "normal"--though perhaps the new normal for Advantek axles. I rarely saw those temperatures towing my fifth wheel in a 2010 F-150 and a 2015 F-250 with 9K pounds behind it. But to your point, it is also about understanding fluid life and for all I know...
  8. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    Yep; the D44 Advantek under our Bronco is the exact same one (except for mounts) that is under the Wrangler. Here is the rear axle temperature at 75MPH UNLOADED at 95°F ambient temperatures with stock 33" tires and stock 4.10 gearing, just driving down the highway in the 2019 Wrangler that I...
  9. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    I'm going in gals and guys... - Transmission filter and fluid change + PPE deep transmission pan is the main objective today. ------------------------------------- If time today (if not during the weekend): - Transfer case fluid change - Rear axle fluid change (I need to pull my Ford...
  10. Include the spare in tire rotation?

    Always. Why leave a tire to dry rot on the tire carrier? You will also get more tire life by adding the spare into the rotation since you are wearing 5 tires versus 4.
  11. Change Driveline Fluids Early!

    Not sure. I have the M210 and it has a drain and fill plug. I think that @Dorf2point0 ran into this as well.
  12. Change Driveline Fluids Early!

    It's for the axle vent and definitely a PITA if that is the only way to add oil.
  13. IAG mud flaps

    I bought the front and rear i-line set and they fit and work well. If I had to complain about something, it would be the fasteners. The are about 1" too long and stick out far too much in the inner wheel wells. So much so, I was concerned they would stick into the tires if the axle articulated...
  14. Change Driveline Fluids Early!

    It would depend on how mismatched the gasket surfaces are. The caveat is you can't crank down too much without either stripping a bolt or smashing the gasket too much.
  15. Change Driveline Fluids Early!

    I still pull the cover at certain intervals just to check internals and to wipe out the bottom cavity to remove accumulated metal "goop". That's just me...
  16. Change Driveline Fluids Early!

    No, it only comes with a fiber gasket. The catch is that I have not found a replacement fiber gasket so you will likely have to go back to OEM at some point anyway. May be easier to just buy longer studs...
  17. What are the Pros vs Cons of an oil change early?

    There are filters rated for 25K miles with mesh backed media, so the filter (IMHO) is not the limiter, it is direct injection and twin turbochargers. Gasoline in the oil and increased heat destroys oil much faster than engines of yesteryear. Extended oil changes are a thing of the past with DI...
  18. Change Driveline Fluids Early!

    The stock studs will likely be too short if you use the OEM gasket. IF you are very careful with the torque, it **may** be ok, but I would take it slow and install the studs after torquing the bolts so the gasket is crushed down some.

  20. Change Driveline Fluids Early!

    Cheers for the kind words. The FP cover is considerably thicker than the OEM stamped steel one and the depth of the threaded bosses in the axle housing is 23MM from the gasket face to the bottom of the hole. The OEM bolts are 20MM and with the thickness of the FP cover, it does not leave a lot...
