Exactly what the title states - putting a thread together where we can come and post little tidbits of anything we have done today, and as we build them to our own tastes.

RokBlokZ Mud flaps. I installed the XL version on my non-sas, non-lifted, factory 33” I think they look ok.

Also installed the GPCA roof tie down anchors. I went with the red because lord knows the interior needs some color.

I gotta quit reading this thread! Here I sit trying to be sure I order the correct style of GPCA thumb screw and anchor. You know, for when I take the top off 6 months from now.

When I first looked at your pic, looked like you had the square washer or nut on top, but that’s just the anchor folded back with the bolt thru it, right? Don’t need the nut for Bronco?

Correct that is the anchor folded over, no nut required.

I was sad, I thought heck while I’ve got these screws out I can just lift the top and get the bottom bracket for the trailrax rakpax installed but I couldn’t budge it. Not sure if it’s that heavy or it’s just comfortable where it’s at.

That looks great and does match well. Is that a Besttop? And did that come tinted?

Just installed the IAG V2 steps that i picked up on the black Friday able. I'm really impressed. Great quality and super easy to install. It took longer to install the orange plate on the steps than it took to put all four on my Black Diamond. Also, the customer service was outstanding.

I like the looks of those! It looks like they installed right to the rock rails, is that correct? Where did you get them?
Edit: never mind. I found them online

Yup, they slip right into the rock rails and can be removed as necessary. Really solid.

New exhaust arrived today (Magnaflow overland series) .. I'll be installing it tomorrow before going out to play in some mud with the local Bronco group :)
Had mine for a few months, loving it!

Got the Magnaflow Overland exhaust installed this morning - it took a total of 47 minutes, using no power tools, no jack.. just a ratchet with a 15mm socket, a pry bar, and some WD40 to make the rubber hangers slip off easier ... super easy to install and very happy with the sound. Then, went out and played at the off road park with almost 20 other broncos - in the mud.

Mitch Creel from Wild Horses 4x4 came out to hang out with us too - we had a blast. .. here's just a few photos I took today.

Installed Auto Stop Start Eliminator. Quite possibly the best $40 I ever spent.

Bestops were tinted, just finally matched the fronts


Visibility isnt an issue, and was told weeks ago that its an unwritten law that if the cops can see you, they cant ticket you anymore in Jersey, so why not?

Added the most boring yet somehow extremely satisfying little doodads: Jam Handles! They let you close the doors without getting fingerprints on the outside of your door that collect dust. Did both on the driver's side since I doubt I can train passengers to use them.

after yesterday's shenanigans in the mud - I spent far too long cleaning this thing .. holy crap, I'll be happy if I never go playing in the mud again. .. and holy crap, the soft top suck when it comes to protecting against water intrusion!

specifically when hitting it with a power washer in my driveway - where the soft top seal meets the seal on the frame - if you hit that at an upward angle with the water - you will get water inside... nothing crazy, but when it's all muddy water - it adds to the stuff running down the interior panels -
I have driven it in some pretty good rain, and when the water is coming from above it's not a problem - until you open your window or door LOL ... better have a towel ready!
