Basic mall crawler stuff. Have had the truck for two days.
It took some finagling of the brackets to get the IAG splash guards sitting reasonably straight and not twisted. Two bends needed to be increased (parts were underbent.) I think I'll eventually make my own guards that are a lot more svelte - that's a next year's event. I have too many other vehicle projects to handle first.
That's an amazon hitch: Nilight 2 Inch Rear Trailer Hitch Receiver Kit for 2021 2022 2023 2024 Ford Bronco 2 Door 4 Door (Exclude Bronco Sport) Rear Bumper Tow Hook Black Hitch Cover Kit : Amazon.ca: Music For $99 CDN you can't go wrong, welds are great and coating is better than the factory frame.
I'm not doing the wiring, it's just for a bike rack that I'm building/other rear mounted racks. Fits great, you wouldn't even need to take the bumper off but ford puts 8" long (hardly an exaggeration) bolts into a bracket solely for the wiring plug rough in, with the heads facing backwards so unless you snip them off you'd never get them out. Oh well - the bumper comes off with 3 bolts and two wiring clips, really nice, super light weight.
Next up, 1" spacers which look like they'll flush the tread blocks with the outside of the flares/splash guards, and I get to find out if the mishimoto air/oil separator works on the 2025 2.3.
