2022 Base 2 Door SAS Mod Journey

HRSPW

Jul 11, 2022

Let the customizations commence. My build will start with mostly cosmetic changes and enhancements to personalize it with my vision. Everyone has their own tastes and visions, but this is mine and I’ve waited over 40 years to have a Bronco to call my own.

Did an Rough Country MLC-6 Multiple Light Controller in anticipation of adding lights and having somewhere to tie it into the OEM Upfitter switches. There is a power and ground for each switch with a 40 amp relay and 30 amp fuse. The main power line has a manual 50 amp circuit breaker intergraded to 8g cable to the battery terminals and an integrated LVCO (Low-Voltage-Cut-Off) circuit. This is well constructed as well as functional. Total installation took about an hour due to my OCD with heat shrink tubing and soldered wires not crimped with the included connectors.

I thought about ordering that when I saw it on their website but wasn’t sure if it was worth it to put relays on already relay equipped circuits. I do like the idea of having terminals to connect to rather than just loose wires.

Did a little painting the other day of some interior parts from @Mabett, the door storage pockets needed a little pop, the pedals and foot rest, and the center console arm rest cover.

Like the mods my man! If you don't mind me asking, what petal covers did you use? I was looking for some, but didnt know what style fit these petals. Even in the Badlands trim, it comes with straight cheap rubber covers.

3/4" and a piece of a 2X8 for a leg support at the front edge perched on top of the floor hump.

It is 3" below the bottom of the rail, the step reduces the entrance height 5".

Thanks for the complements!

I did a couple of mods this week, one functional and one performance. The rear door fold down table really wasn't too bad of an install being it was the OEM accessory.

and the performance mod was the VRTuned with the bluetooth option, and yes it does make it a little better response with little to no lag in the go pedal.

Another productive couple of days. My spare tire cover came in and looks awesome, even has the retaining ring for the backup camera. Plus the bonus of my custom plates came in too.
