The extra tool kit loops in the kit will hold roof rail removal tools. included when your bronco comes with roof rack and rails . I found the rack tools in a bag in the glove box in a separate zip loc . Great video ,Thanks.
Thanks for the video. Will definitly help with my install. I already have a dash cam and the hard wiring kit for it. So what I did was click all of your affiliate links cuz I know that helps too!
Im with ya on the cargo mat and the dash cam. locking lugs arent worth much and do people even steel wheels any more. the door sill gaurd is kinda silly its an offroad truck ment to do offroad things its gonna get beat up. and the key fob is rather stupid now ya have to fight with that junk any time you want to lock the glovebox or console which you should do if you have the soft top or tops are off
I been looking at broncos for a while now and I kept wondering if the plate being up so high was a mistake but more of them had it.. then I was worried about those holes being in the bumper.. almost a deal breaker .. why in the world ? scary stuff
Made a HUGE difference. I painted mine with gloss black raptor 1k which is like Bedliner paint. The finish is identical to yours and it’s rock hard. Also my experience taking off the bolts was identical. Accept I torqued mine to 40ft/lbs. Seemed a bit better. And the look is sick.
Looks good! I have different set of wheels on my raptor but they are the gen 3 raptor R wheels with beauty ring. Where did you find the instructions on proper installation with torque specs? Been searching and really can't find much. TIA
I just got my 24 OBX and want to do this same mod. I'm nervous about stripping or cross threading the bolts. I was planning on sandblasting them myself since I have a sandblasted and a friend will powder coat them if I buy the powder. Thanks for the great video
I know this video is almost a year old, but I had to add my two cents worth. We had a 2021 Bronco that got multiple chips the first couple of weeks we owned it. We repaired them at our own cost. Then a bigger rock made a bigger chip (HOLE) and we had to replace the windshield. After that, we added this deflector. We never had to repair another chip. We just traded up (from Big Bend to Outer Banks w/Sasquatch)for a 2023, and added this deflector within the first week of possession! If you want to protect your investment, you cannot spend a better 90 Dollars!
I got em, because I pulled the wires off the connectors twice. These covers helps keep me from pulling the wires off.i however got the full covers that cover the entire area.
Fuse taps are ghetto. Just get the Delphi/Aptiv pin, crimp it onto your wire and snap it into the connector. Pin 2 on J3 right there is battery positive, fuse 4 and there's nothing on it. You can pull that 5A fuse you used and check continuity to see which pin it uses too. Ford uses the Apex line of connectors through MY2022. It'll either be 6.3mm, 2.8mm, or 1.5mm. being 5A, it's probably 1.5mm.
NOIICCE! Looks good, man! I ended up buying the blacked out emblem and wanted to see how to get to the clips off; will be using my maxed out credit cards for the job since they aint gettin any use right now anyways! xD I'll be disassembling the original and doing some monkeying around a bit, myself, after seeing how awesome yours came out. Oh, might I suggest looking into KBS clear, its UV safe and doesn't yella like other clears, good stuff. You mentioned you had some other projects.. if they are going to be exposed to the UVs it might be worth lookin into. KBS has gloss and satin finishes in the clear, btw. Thanks for the vid!
My new 2023 Badlands has only one black wheel and it was not the spare. It was on the right rear. I guess ford was working on that issue building my unit with one black wheel but fail to put it as the spare tire.
I lost a plastic clip on a brand new hatch... Somehow the middle on the right. Just snapped the plastic holding the clip right off. Seems like it was way way too many clips holding it. Also, I notice you had the same issue I did, where the top of the windshield barely holds onto the wire... I can see that falling down continuously. I'm thinking a couple of sections of tape wrap might widen the wire enough to actually hold under there. I left it as is to see how it holds up.
Thanks for the video! I got mine back from powder coating this week and just put them on. You made the process a lot easier. I went with gloss black as well. Very happy with the results.
Thanks for making this video! This was so helpful. Especially which bit to use, the tape trick, and the tip about cleaning off the bolts and the holes. Made for a very smooth process that took less than 2 hours.
