JcrOffroad - prototyping begins!

[JcrOffroad]

Any initial ideas on if a frame mounted rock slider can be made that doesn't require drilling, but will support the weight of the vehicle?

There are not enough pre-existing holes to make a bolt on, frame mounted slider. We are going to do our best to make them install securely with the least amount of effort.

Thanks for the reply....curious to see what you come up with. BTW, I remember you from the Tundra forum as well.

We added 1/2” holes on the inside and outside of the bracket. This allows GMRS or CB antenna.

I’ll be keeping an eye out for when they’re available.

Just wanted to give an update on our bronco products!

Winch plate: Hoping to have the final revision test fit this week. Shoot installation video and product photos next week. I’d expect a release that first week of January.

Front Vanguard bumper: We made some cosmetic tweaks from the first revision. That hopefully will cut this week for test fit.

For both of the winch plate and bumper, ACC equipped vehicles will require relocation kits. Can’t get it to reliably work in stock location. Front camera will also be relocated. No big deal though, this stuff has been done for years on Raptors/rangers/F-series trucks reliably.

Rear Vanguard bumper: Shooting installation video next week, then launching that!

I‘m really liking the looks of the bumper, especially if a camera relocation kit is available! The winch plate could also be an option. Will the bumper and/or the winch plate have frame mounted recovery points that could also be used to attach tow bars via tow bar adapters?

Below is an example of Roadmaster’s 035-1 adapters some members are using with the stock recovery points on the modular bumper.

Here is the 1st article of the front vanguard!

Love the look of this. Will the factory fog lights on the regular bumper fit in the precuts on this bumper?

 

[Tilzbow]

Yes.

Just to confirm, recovery points included with the bumper will be frame mounted?

I do see slots in the bumper allowing for the recovery points to poke through the bumper. I just wanted to confirm the recovery points aren’t welded or otherwise attached to the bumper unlike the picture I posted that showed recovery points that are welded to the bumper.

If this is the case your bumper moved into a strong first place for me!

No. Planning to just accommodate 3x3 cube lights.

Thank you for the updates.

@JcrOffroad you've done it again! Love everything you're coming up with. Now here is to hoping my Penny bank recovers quickly so I can get these bought.

 

[Tilzbow]

Yes.

Awesome! One more question and then I think I‘m done. Are the holes I circled in the picture there to allow for routing of a flat towing safety cable or something else?
