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.

I didn't really like the looks of any of the camera relocation kits but hated the partial obstruction caused by my pull bar, so I improvised. I just used some ram bar light brackets. I like the look and strength much better and saved quite a bit of $ too. I moved the inner sensors and sensor bezels too protecting all the wiring accordingly. Debating if I want to move the ACC sensor or if I even care about it.

You did similar to what I made. Works fine, even thru car washes...

My next "trick" was to come up with a cover for the Ford/Warn winch kit. I took some measurements, and found a Weber grill cover, with drawstrings.

My 2022 Bronco Wildtrak recently had these SWEET upgrades: Fab Fours Matrix Front Bumper with Pre-Runner Guard with Fab Fours Skid Plate and Baja designs 8 XL linkable roof light bar installed on roof, LP-4 A pillars and in bumper; Warn EV-O 10S wench in bumper with Factor 55 Ultra Hook. Included a relocation kit for wench controls. Finished it off with repainting the black grill with matte black (was gloss). Thanks to Doetsch Off Road in Chandler, AZ for the custom work.

New fender logos installed.

Received the fender logos last week and got them installed. Super easy lining them up if you just make sure the fender is clean and dry and then follow the included instructions. I used blue painters tape to line them up on both sides. They look great on the matte charcoal wrap....hopefully the adhesive will hold well but seems to be good.

Also finally got around to installing the grille medallions, not quite as easy as the fender logos but really only took about 20 minutes. I added a little blue thread locker to the stud threads and nothing is moving.

Added a few other things since the initial build out. Hammer Built tailgate reinforcement, easy install if you just remember to place some spacers (cardboard or other) to maintain the door gap. TrailRax half roof rack, a little tedious on the install but my wife and I knocked it out just shy of 2 hours and finally added Icon Rebound II pseudo beadlock wheels and they have worked great. Aired down and up a few times and no problems or leaks. Stayed with 35" tires as going to 37's with the Icon suspension would require up-travel limiters and 35's have gotten me where I needed to go so far. I think I'm done with the exception of maybe some Katzkin leather seats.

I almost forgot about this thread! Need to catch up on posts.

Took some time to enjoy the nice weather before the storms came rolling in and worked on some decal, badge, and sticker items. Finally got my AR fender badges in the mail. They are way better in person than I imagined.

With that, I removed the OE fender badges and installed the AR Classic DNA badges. Saved one of the OE badges and applied it to the lower right rear window. Wanted to keep an original badge on the rig and figured that would be the best location. Once that was on I applied a couple more stickers to the right side (Bronco Nation member & Ural). Reserving the left side for more Off-Rodeo stickers, if I get the chance.

I also added a new hood decal - Badlands National Park topo map design. Love the way it came out. I removed the IAG EZ-Steps but still waiting on the AR STIRRUPS to deliver. Should only be another week or two. Looking forward to having steps again.

The next piece I want to work on are fog lights, so I will be placing an order for the Heretic fog lights from the BN store. Looks like they're about a 3-4-week lead time, so I better get moving. After that, I might be good for a bit.

Looks excellent!

Where do I get those logos, I prefer them to the OEM Badging

I recently decided to start “patching up” the backs of the seats as well. Patch bombs it is!

Installed Factor 55 untrahook on the RC winch. Really didn’t trust the cheap hook that came with it, added bonus this looks better.

installed theMabett grille lights.. ended up being more of a pain than I expected, since I had to remove the pre runner bar in order to remove the grille, but it was worth it. And finally gave it a much needed wash (even wiped out the interior). I'm going to a cars and coffee event tomorrow morning, so I wanted her to be pretty ;)
