What did you do to your Bronco today?

I used the Curt T-connector harness specifically for the Badlands (LED lights), here.
Their instructions are pretty good. They say to wrap the wires around the bumper, but I found that it’s easier to just get underneath the Bronco and push the connectors up through the gap under the lights. You can see it pretty easily if you put a flashlight pointing down towards the bumper. The space behind the lights is tight. I put one connector right next to the existing chassis-mounted connector (towards the light, not the vehicle), which was a snug fit, but it works, and holds everything in place. Then I put the other connector onto the chassis-mounted connector shell. There’s not a lot of space to mount the adapter box, but I found spot on the frame just under the driver’s side light. It’s very tight, so make sure you have it pushed up against the bottom of the Bronco when you tape it in place, because it you let it touch the frame, it will stick instantly. They provide wire ties, but I ended up using a bunch of self-stick wire-management mounts that accept wire ties instead, since there isn’t a whole lot of places that you can actually wrap a wire tie around. There is a white ground wire that needs to be connected to the frame. They provide a screw, but I found that there is a bolt holding on a piece of body trim above the light (in the light box) and I simply removed that and re-installed it with the ground lug underneath the bolt head. I put a little silicone grease on the lug first, to ward off any corrosion.

When I ran the main power, I snaked it up and over the cross frame-rail near the rear tire, and then down the frame rail, and wire-tied it to the existing cable bundles running there. You want to make sure that it’s tied down enough to avoid the muffler and exhaust tube, which are right there. I continued running it down the frame rail, trying to keep it as high as possible. I snaked it around the body-to-frame mount (there is a big wire bundle there), and then up over the crash bar, behind the wheel well liner, and into the engine compartment. I wire-tied it in a couple of places, then cut it to length and spliced on the fuse and battery lug. I removed the existing flange nut to one of the electrical cables at the battery, and put the lug on the post, and then screwed the nut back on. All of this is doable without jacking the vehicle up, if you are not too big, and have a low creeper. But, it would have taken about 1/3 the time if I had a lift...

I’m going to get around to wiring my own hitch some day. Wasn’t there any way you could’ve passed the wires up through the passenger cabin so you could avoid the moisture situation?

This is super helpful! Thank you! If I survive my install, I will give a report.

One other thing.
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Hitch receiver that I bought from etrailer does not come with a mount for the 4-pin plug.
Which is kind of cheesy.
I bought this one from Amazon for a buck, and it works perfectly. You need to provide your own screws and nuts, but the holes line up, so it installs in seconds.

What do the holes line up with?

Bronco Center Console Badge
My buddy and I blew the dust off our fiber laser, had a few badges made from anodized aluminum and currently in the process of figuring out how to sell these.
Any interest?
Thanks.

Well, technically I haven’t done anything to it except pace back and forth waiting for it like and expectant father (More like whine and cry like a kid waiting for Christmas). That being said figure this was the right place for my plans. The stuff I have already purchased and have lying around the house awaiting my baby.
