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.

Gave up on the ADV hardtop after 19 months of them saying "Next month" and being wrong time and again. Asked #ColoradoBroncoUpfitters to order the Anderson Composites hardtop. They said 8-10 weeks to ship, then another week to get to Denver. It showed up 4 days after ordering!!! Now THAT's the kind of wrong I can handle!!!

Then I installed the TrailRax and Trxstle rod carrier that have been waiting for my top for over a year.

Here's a link to the shop's Instagram post on my ride.

I was concerned about the noise being louder than the ADV since this doesn't have the expansion foam. Even considered drilling holes and doing it myself, but the sound is SOOOOOO much better than the soft top I do not care. And I now run my stereo (also a major upgrade) 2-3 levels lower.

Thanks. Got inspired by the Moab Off Roadeo/ they had these two doors hanging on the wall. I placed my official order for my white Badlands that day and started searching for the closest wrap.

After Moab I inspected the underside and found that my cross members had come in contact with The State of Utah.
So I installed the RCI skid plates today.

Love the color combo. I think you meant to say ordered the Anderson Composite HT! I also ordered my black AC HT from Colorado Bronco Upfitters and will be celebrating my 1 year anniversary with my HT!

I paid someone to do it. But, unfortunately, then they went out of business. They said doing the Bronco was the easiest vehicle they've ever done.

Time to feed the addiction! Just installed the Midland radio, low profile antenna (but I also bought the 6DB gain for use in difficult terrain). I elected to not hard wire into the fuse box, but just use the lighter outlet in the console, since I never use that for anything after putting a safe in there. Just drilled a hole, ran the wire and it's done. Running the line for the antenna was a breeze. Set them up in Group mode.

Instead of buying $80-100 bits to mount the mic on the dash with an arm, I spent about $25 on a mic stand mount and a cell phone holder to mount the magnetic mic.

The only thing left to do is wrap the 2" of exposed red wires below the radio in black so they won't be seen at all. SUCH an easy install. And very clean. Everything is right where I need it.

6DB antenna (not pictured)
Midland radio bundle with two handhelds
Micro mobile antenna for riding around town and open country
Antenna cable
Ditch light bracket for mounting antenna
Magnetic mic (DANG this thing is strong!)
Mic stand mount for iPhone (I used half of this to mount the mic and attached to the dash GoPro mount, which I no longer use since I have a full time camera with collision detection)
Cell phone holder 2 pack (I mounted the Magnetic mic to one and I switch it out with the other for my phone when not using the radio)
