Since you called it Bluey Bronco...

Lol, thanks!
My kids were watching bluey when filling out the Ford Pass information on the Bronco.

Mounted my 3d printed prototype BYOD rail. Still need to figure out best way to mount my phone. Leaning towards magnet. I wonder if I can glue a neodymium magnet to the base and sandwich a piece of steel between the phone and case?

If you plan significant off-roading (e.g. washboard roads), recommend mechanical mounts. Magnets typically won’t securely hold a phone under those conditions.

So far, been to off-road parks quite a few times (I try to get out monthly or every other month). It's not the most secure, it shakes pretty good.

I run the front camera to a old tablet with a mechanical ball mount. I use it for my front camera..... much better offroad.

Pretty simple install.
I couldn't find my USB voltage meter , to verify Mabett's power claims. I will find out this weekend though.
All seemingly put out power. USB-A doesn't give me a slow charge notification. Both USB-C ports do....
I like it but if the power isn't there, I might return it.

The power wasn't there. Mabett issued a full refund.

Installed the Rock Krawler 1" level kit. It is a spacer that goes on the bottom of the strut. I put it on a lift which made installation a lot easier. I was missing a couple of nuts in the hardware kit but we has extras.

the new bolts are long....

Mounted the DSS sliders and cut the front mud flaps (added an edge guard to cover the cuts)

I'm planning on doing the same mod with my mud flaps. What did you use for the edge guard around the cut part? Just regular door edge guard?

Yes, I bought cheap stuff for my other car and just used it

my drivers side Oracle Flush mount light was on its way out. Contacted Oracle and got a new taillight ~1.5 weeks later. I heard horror stories from my buddies, who had oracle lights on their jeeps, about Oracles CS. I had no such issues.

.

here is how it was.

I have the same issue. Intermittent for a week or so (always worked for the camera) and finally failed just like yours on the same side. Just sent a message their way and hoping for the same resolution! Thanks for the info.

Did you do an alignment afterwards? If so, did it align to spec? Looking hard at getting this kit because of its price and simplicity.

I did get an alignment. I bought the lifetime alignment from firestone, some people have cautioned me about firestone as they have tried to upsale but I haven't had that issue yet. Usually ~30minutes and Im out.

I just swapped out my light, which they covered under warranty quickly and without issue.

Wife got me some of those molle style door pockets, the netting was ripping and looked awful.
