It was a custom job using some DOM tubing from Lowe’s for the “tool,” pulleys and cabling from mostly Menards and a hand winch from Harbor Freight. I concocted it in my little head.
Your Raptor looks awesome, love it! I dig the little splashes of color and the contrast of the black and gray.
My Company car is a 2023 GCL Summit Reserve and I have to say, it has me swearing off Jeep/Chrysler/Stellantis products for life. I’ve had other “Chryslers” before and have often...
Set up a hoist in the garage, which is working out great. I’m planning to get the Bestop soft top to allow me to drive it more often. Weather in KY can be pretty sketchy. Wish we still lived in Cali so I could take the top off and not care for 6 months at a time.
Congrats on the great model...
My Bronco was officially the 50th car/truck I’ve owned. As a garage queen, it was preceded by a 2004 E46 M3 Convertible that was in pretty spectacular condition:
My wife decided she wanted to try the convertible lifestyle, so the M3 went away and was replaced by this lovely E450:
Then the wife...
Totally agree. Hand wash, dry, detail and maybe polish and wax (depending on how old the paint is). It gets you in touch with the vehicle and helps you get to know it better. Besides, most dealerships do a mediocre job of detailing cars for delivery.
Just got back from TN Offroadeo this past weekend. It was fantastic. Great location, beautiful area in the foothills of the Smokeys. Ford rents 1000 acres on a farm with what seems to be dozens of trails that demonstrate the capability of the Bronco.
I don’t know if the agenda has changed a...
After countless online color combinations and designs, I decided to go with this on the interior and I just love, love, love it. The colors match even better in real life than what they look like here, especially the blue which is a dead ringer for the Navy Pier trim in the Heritage.
In the end, I got a couple pair of Apollo Pros mounted to the Stinky Fab stealth mount on the capable bumper and wired the relay to Aux switches 5 & 6. I bought a pair of spots and a pair of wide beams and wired them separately for different purposes.
Using the Up fitter wiring was awesome...
The circuits in the Bronco have much lower ratings than those in the Super Duty. One 30A, one 15A and the rest are 10A. The options are limited and not great. Perfect for switching a relay though, I think.
Why not use the factory Aux switches to switch a relay rather than powering the device (lighting) directly? I’ve read countless threads and watched various YouTube videos that tell you to cut out all the wiring and just use the Aux switches to run the lights directly. But then you need to...
That is Original Equipment. They can’t apply the “Ford” or “Bronco” logos to an aftermarket part without Ford’s permission (which Ford wouldn’t give).
Very interesting (regarding the monogram). Post a picture of the monogram on your aftermarket windshield, it would be interesting to compare to the OEM.
I love a good glass discussion, so here goes:
Why are Bronco windshields cracking/breaking?- One word: Physics. The windshield has a very upright installation angle and is relatively flat. That means the incident angle of impact by road debris is closer to 90* than your typical light vehicle...
