Mountains2Metals door pockets and center console installed as well Mabet console storage caddy.
- Super easy to install

Fours Stubby
- Super easy for the black diamond trims with not modifications necessary.

Superwinch SX10SR
- The Superwinch wires were run through the center grill opening and straight up and then across the front cross bar to the positive and negative terminal.

Dynamic Diodes SS3 3” with backlight
- I utilized my my OEM fog light harness with the addition of 4x4truckleds harness and tap for seamless connection. The backlight wire was tapped into parking lights (pin #9) of the headlight harness. To access the headlight harness, I removed the fender flare and pulled back the fender liner. From there I was able to reach my hand up to disconnect the harness and apply a tap.

Curt Hitch
- No issues installing. Some people may find the muffler might get in the way

Advanced Auto Truck Mud flaps
- I think the fronts will work with the rock rails the best. I cut a shape as close to the rock rail so that it would be snug around it and used one bolt/nut utilizing the hole in front of the pinch weld. The mud flap was also tucked between the crash bar and frame. Combined it is all surprisingly sturdy.
- The rear mud flaps are held in by 4 bolts/nuts to give it more rigidity. I drilled holes into the plastic end caps.

Mob Grip tape for door sills
- Laid out some clear vinyl wrap and then placed skateboard grip tape on the door sill 4/18 Floor Mats, Sunscreen

Kicker Key AMP and Plug N Play Harness
- HIGHLY recommended for the base sound system. Easy to install. Set up can be a little confusing if you do not understand it, but there is not a whole lot to the kicker key amp. Mounted the AMP in the dash on top of the metal dash support. Used a nut and bolt to hold it down.

Front Suspension upgrade since an additional 125lbs was added to the front of the axle
- I used 2/3 of the 1" level kit from Rough Country using just the 2 top spacers and I installed 4 door 7MT black diamond take off front suspension. This really helped my nose dive under hard braking after adding the bumper and winch. I am still working on it and will probably try and find some 4 door V6 black diamond front suspension to give the front end so more stiffness.

Looks great - keep up the fine job of making it unique!

Clearly cyber orange is not as close to school bus yellow as one would think. The metallic pearl stands out in your picture. Looks nice actually.

Pretty much the same as what I ordered except for the color (EG if they ever build it) been waiting to see if any good options for mounting a winch on the “capable” bumper come out, but had not thought about upgrading the front suspension for the added weight. Had also though of using the lift/level kit but not using all the front spacers to give a 1” lift but keep the factory rake. Glad to see it’s not a totally crazy idea. Looks good.

Depends on how much weight is added up front. My net was 125lbs and the driving characteristics were horrible. The new 4 door springs are still a little soft so hopefully 4 door v6 springs will help the dive and uneasiness during braking. Hopefully someone will coming out with stiffer springs for stock broncos shocks, at least for those who want to keep stock travel without utilizing spacers/level kits

this was the difference. Top is after bottom is before 6EC9C929-0325-42EC-A6DE-F7109B19A781.jpeg

I plan on wearing out the factory tires then upgrading to a 33 on the stock steelies so will have some time to wait for the after market to come up with suspension parts.

This is why a factory winch option would be good, they could add the heavier springs while they are building it.

Just bought a 6 lug one and tried it. Had to add hose clamps and trim it
