Installed passenger side Built Right Molle panel over the weekend. Will be mounting DMOS Steath shovel, first aid kit, and other always in the truck recovery gear on it.

Also got the install for the WeBoost Drive Reach Overland done. Antenna mounted driver's side on a @Mountains2Metal antenna mount, with the amplifier mounted under the driver's seat, and switched to AUX 4.

Installed the Monster Hooks soft shackle loops attached to the frame. They will affect angle of departure, but not by enough to impact how I use the truck. Don't do any real rock crawling... I'll get them powder coated black at some point.

Really do not trust the bumper to not just pull off the Bronco if I used bumper recovery points for a real recovery. Need to find a similar frame-mounted solution for the front.

Swapped Mabett mud flaps for RokBlokz. I think the Mabetts are probably perfectly fine for those who rarely go off-road and are just looking to keep rocks mostly off the truck. Given I live on a dirt road, and it snows here a ton, the Mabetts were just not getting it done. RokBlokz look to be allowing 70% less mud and slush to get thrown up on the truck. Win.

Got front windows done with 20% tint. Next up- Method 703s in matte black OTW.

Got the Method 703s in Matte Black installed today; I bought the Ford kit for the hub-centric fit. Also bought the Method black spline lugs. Don't. The mating surface of the lugs is ~50% of the OEM. I put the silver back on and have black OEM lugs OTW.

Last thing for the truck is skids- I don't do much (if any) crawling, so thinking the RPM skids will be great.

Ditch lights on yesterday. BluMak3D housings with Baja S2 Pros. Really like the low profile, lack of wind noise and OEM look. And the S2’s are plenty bright.

Right at 40k lumens on the front. Lights up the night.

^ That 'BluMak3D housing' really does look OEM and blends well, did not know such a thing exists.

 

[Mr Bacon Jr]

I have been watching them evolve it. Back of mine stamped as V7.

Added an auxiliary carry solution for long trips or camping outings. 1Up 48" Cargo Carrier with Pelican BX135 Cargo cases, held down by Pelican Cross Bed Mount. Easy on, easy off for the case- held in place by 2 pins, brackets easily removable All of it lockable.

Pretty cool. I’ve started looking for an alternate way to carry a stupid amount of aux fuel for my 2Door. Long story, tried to make it to the Doll House in the Maze and 12 extra gallons wasn’t enough. We made it to the Doll house but had to leave my 2Door behind, I need to go back and make it official. I tried a roof rack but that wasn’t for me. So now I’m considering a hitch mount, but it would need to be raised way up for clearance and have the ability to be easily removed.

Does the forum have a hitch mounted rack / fuel cargo thread somewhere?
Cheers.

Also, do you have any side images with that rack installed? I’m curious about how high it sits. Thanks.

 

[Mr Bacon Jr]

Best I have is this one- sits pretty high up. I'll take a side pick next time it's on the Bronco.

And she’s gone. Sold her to a long-time dear friend in Austin. Been super fun, great damn vehicle. Close to zero trouble for 40k miles and 2 years and 7 months.

On to the next adventure- building this thing up for my wife and I to go on a 6+ month expedition across the US. On and off road, looking for the next place to land.
