After comparing a few popular optionsālike the American Adventure Lab rear storage battery trayāI opted to build a fully custom dual battery setup in my Bronco using the DV8 expanded cargo storage box. The AAL tray was solid, but I went custom for two key reasons:
I can fit 5x 20Ah batteries...
So hereās where my bump stops first contact the carrier when closing the door. And the second photo is how compressed they are when fully closed. And it still wobbles lol
I donāt think you can get the carrier pressed firmly enough to stop the wobble. Iāll take a picture but I replaced the turn bump stop with the factory one and ordered extended bump stops for the bottom ones. They make contact with the carrier about 12 inches from closing the door, and even then...
Iāve had this bumper on for about a month now and I gotta be honest⦠itās not very good. The thing shakes massively even on the freeway. I even bought extended bump stops to try and have there be more contact when the gate is closed to stop the rattling and itās helped, but still shakes.
I do...
I went from the original stiff tune to the softer tune. HD springs in the rear, regular up front. They still feel stiffer than the eibachs, but in a more responsive way, not an uncomfortable way (they were borderline undrivable off-road with the stiff tune. Or maybe I just suck at driving š)
So I just drove 100 miles from Chula Vista after having them revalved and they feel so much better. I had them set completely open. Hopefully Iāll be able to get them off-road soon to see how they perform.
I canāt honestly answer yet because I had to replace the lower tailgate bump stops. Still waiting on them to come in. But right now without them there is a little bounce
Where did you tap into to power the acumen mirror? Mine will sometimes turn on randomly when the car is off and I wonder if itās the fuse I tapped into
It looks like @Turn Offroad took this off their website. I wonder if there were more issues that needed to be worked out or if they are out of stock, but I couldnāt find it.
Has anyone installed this bumper with a body lift? Were there any modifications you needed to make to get the heim joints to work? I have a 0.75ā body lift.
I spoke with AAL today and they said they hope to have these available in the next few months. The hold up is the latch system that they cannot port over from the jeep model, so they are currently testing several new ones.
Check out the suma mirrors, they completely eliminate blind spots

Then you could put the additional camera somewhere else, maybe tucked under the body somewhere so you can see under?
No, I only had 2 channels front and rear. I have taken off the side mirrors though to install the suma performance mirrors and I think youāre right, thereās not much space there.
Why do you want to install them there if you have the 360 cameras already?
