Thank you. Yours is perfect, but I'm guessing you have a 4 door? The 2 door option on the website still has side walls eating into storage space just as the Ford one does. I will keep an eye out incase they update or restock something they don't currently have.

I have the Ford one, and I don't find that you lose a lot of usable space with the side panels and the addition of mole panels to the side comes in kinda handy. What I do notice is that it has a tendency to rattle a bit under some circumstances.

Compressor mounted and hardwired. Plumbed to CRS mini reel. Switches below are always powered for the Compressor, power for my fridge, lights, and USB ports.

Where did you get that mount for the compressor?

$25? Where do you live? Most tire shops around me will repair / plug a tire for free..

Vancouver, WA / Portland, OR area.

Discount Tire will plug them for free, Les Schwab will plug them for free and there are several other tires shops here that do it for free as well. I think they do it for free so if you ever need tires, or service, you already have an existing relationship with them and they hope that will bring you back.

Just mapped it, Portland is 2,867 miles from me. Maybe next time I get “screwed” I’ll stop by for a free repair! 🤣

I love that tailgate table. I just can't pull the trigger at that cost. I know, I'm a cheap bastard. 😆Me wonders if they have Black Friday sales on it?

You need one, protected my tailgate from scratches when jumping!

Put on some SAS flares that I got thanks to @BuckYeah. This was to prep for some gravel trail driving and a trek to the mountains, but I kind of like the look of these.
@BuckYeah did you put different fender flares on Lebowski?

I really like this install, but imagine the dB levels drive you out of the rig when the compressor runs?

Nope. I just swapped out the ones that got scuffed up. Normal people don’t mind scuffs, but I don’t need to remind you that I am anything but normal. 🤪

Took the entire hardtop off today and used the inexpensive Covosun Bimini mesh top. 93 degrees on Las Vegas strip, still extremely comfortable! Oddly, all videos that show the proper removal of the back hardtop only show 1 top bolt on each side. Our '24 bronco has 2 top bolts per side. Even the bolt replacement kits only include 1 top bolt per side. Did Ford change something on '24 models??

replaced the hardtop screws with Rockworkx version. Much easier than having to use the ratchet every time.
Nice! I've been waiting to do this but currently waiting for my replacement top so I have yet to remove it. I'm not going to give Ford any wiggle room to say I did something wrong and created cracking. Can't wait to eventually get the top off!

I wouldn't say you lose alot of space, especially since the 2 door doesn't have a lot of space to begin with. I would say any loss of space in a 2 door is valuable space lost. I have plenty (too much?) Of molle storage elsewhere. For me on a road trip I want storage without crowding the cabin nor reducing overhead clearance. Does yours always rattle? Mine only rattled with bass from the subwoofer. I put rubber matting between the rear enclosure and sub enclosure which has almost eliminated the rattle altogether.
