What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

[Aonarch]

Installed the Desert Does It Seat Jackers. I had them on my Jeep and they worked well.

I went with the single 3/8" shim.

I had to redo the installation, when I noticed on the product page it mentioned that they have a 1.5 degree slope.

The instructions didn't mention this and I didn't pay attention enough to notice a slope. My shims also had equally sized holes, instead of one round for the seat pin, and one oval for the bolt.

Just sitting in the seats it does feel better. Less of a flat seat bottom feel. It gives you more recline, which was my major complaint. I was sitting at a near 90* angle originally.

I wanted my driver seat higher. Had some hockey pucks around, drilled them, bought 4 longer bolts at the hdw store along with some washers, and put them under the seat runners. It was perfect for the trails at the highest setting, and it can be lowered for the road if I want. I can see the trail better.

Had a friend install on my 2023 Wildtrak, RPG Ucas and perch collars 3” front 2.25” rears. Method 321s with zero offset. Nitto Ridge grappler 37-12.5r17.

I included a couple of pics to compare to my kids 2023 Moar Door Badlands SAS, has a 1” Zone level. 315-70r17s also on methods with zero offset.

Yep... Nacho Light Bar. A little spendy, but good quality. I like the low profile. Install is easy... remove six bumper bolts, slide the light bar between the bumper & frame, reinstall six bolts.

...below is my post from a different thread (search NACHO light bar for more info)

"I installed a Nacho Offroad Technology capable bumper light mount bar and as stated, the depth between the mounting holes and the grill is narrow and some lights will not fit. However, here is a solution to gain some space. I fabricated an aluminum plate with a hole to act as a big washer to mount the lights forward of the mounting hole. The plate is installed underneath the mounting tab in the forward cut out gaining some additional room for lights. You could use a large fender washer, but the plate is thicker and provides more contact for a stable connection."

Anyone have luck installing this on the standard plastic bumper? Website says plastic/capable so I bought it, but having trouble getting the bumper to slide in over the bar. Any tips would be appreciated.

Update about $850 to repair it all
Well Thursday myself and two other 6G did the double black rated trail 16 at Windrock. We made it through mostly unscathed all of us took minor damage . But we all drove out and and no first aid kit needed.

Installed a set of Rockworkx hard top quick install bolts that double as a tie down point.

Nice they had a gray set to match the color (Carbonized Gray).

I was looking at these a while back. My concern is how do you get them tight enough if you are tightening them by hand? Am I missing something here?

...and people are cracking their tops with the included tool kit.

Is there a torque spec for this, anyone?

I actually added some foam tape to the Ford provided tool kit socket wrench handle because I kept banging it against the window.. ugh...

I had these in my Wrangler and only tightened by hand with no issues.

I just check them periodically and tighten if needed.

Did some solo exploring with my son and got stuck on an optional line. Was a good time.

Easy enough recovery.

I think many people over tighten them. Snug is enough to engage the seals. I use a cordless 1/4” electric ratchet and have to be careful not to over tighten. The thumb screws are large enough to have enough leverage and will work fine, but with my arthritis I don’t want them.

They don’t need to be any tighter than what you can do with the large diameter thumb screws. Just check them now and then but seriously if half of them fell out the top isn’t going anywhere.

Where did you order from. I talked to RPG today and they told me it would be 8 to 10 week lead time for the perch collars and UCAs.

Lethal Performance, but I called to make sure they actually had them in stock before ordering. I had ordered the UCAs direct from RPG, at the time it was a 4-6 week wait. I called at 6 weeks and was told another 4-5 weeks so I cancelled and started calling around.

Last night installed the new dv8 spec series rear bumper to match the front one.
