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.

They’re a brilliant idea and I’m of the same opinion. @BroncOitis had a light setup on his Bronco and I appreciated it following him on a dusty trail in Moab. Visibility can be compromised suddenly on some trails, and you can’t be too safe!

yeah blasting through the desert and hitting a silt bed can be unnerving I am adding some lights to my rear glass hinge covers before we go to Death Valley. But I do like the Stroby lights too.
BN 1100, Desert Sand Everglades. Reservation 7/30/20. ordered 1/22/21, reordered 10/15/21 dropped tow and hard top, reordered 3/9/22 changed to Everglades. production date 9/7/22 rescheduled 9/14/22 completed 9/26/22, shipped 10/7/22, arrived 10/31/22, delivered 11/03/22

Got the Eibach 2.0 Coilover installed yesterday.. I also had the Icon rear adjustable track bar installed and the rear axel centered.

@BuckYeah, I can't really comment much as it's only been 2 days but on road performance and ride feel is MUCH better than the 6100's they replaced. I can't comment on it -vs- stock because it's been a long time since I've had the stock suspension..

I have an off-road and camping trip I am planning to go on in a few weeks so maybe after that I can give you more info / feedback on them.

I had a shop do the install and the install price was $725

Hey @raqball I have a little suggestion for you.
I have the same Eibach coilovers!
Do you plan on using them to lift your Bronco at all?
The 4 door can go up to I believe 2 1/2 inches of lift and the 2 door will go up to 3 inches of lift.
If you plan on lifting using the coilovers, I suggest you do it now rather than later.
The reason is, over time dirt and corrosion tends to settle in and around the threads, and it tends to make them harder to twist versus when they are new and just installed.
I did mine when I went to install them which is the easiest way, but if they are installed, just jack the vehicle up as high as it will go then start adjusting.
I ended up taking mine to the max, 3 inches.
Next year 37s are in the forecast!!!

Edited:
However, if you go above I believe the 2 inches of lift, you will or should I say you’ll want to replace the upper control arm with one that is designed for lift.
This will keep your wheels aligned better for when you take it in for an alignment.
You have already added the rear track bar, so you would be all set in making the rear axle aligned with the front wheels.

Great look to the Bronco! 😍
Have a wonderful day!!!

Great info..

I called Eibach before ordering and they answered all my questions. I passed info and what I wanted on to the installer. The installer did a great job and followed them to a T....

Lift heights were adjusted during the install.. The minimum rear on a Badlands 2dr non Sas is 1.7" so they set it there then adjusted the front to leave a minor rake of about 1/4".

I already had aftermarket UCA's installed with my previous lift..

They do work!
When I went with a few buddies up on Drummond Island in the UP, it was the most dust I had ever seen on any trip, “even more than a couple of years ago in Moab with you,” and the person following me said that it made a big difference for him to just be able to see the lights and be able to have enough time to react when we made sudden stops.
I still have one of several pictures that you took when we were out in Moab.
This is the only one I can find with those rear lights on….

Sorry!
I didn’t realize that part, of the Non Squatched. and I understand about the Badlands having a little more lift than a stock Bronco.
It actually looks like you’re sitting perfectly for your Badlands!!! 😍

Yeah, the installer did a great job and followed all instructions I gave him to the T... Can't complain one bit! The 1/4" of rake is unnoticeable but will be helpful when I tow my baby camper..

When we all head out to Sturgis SD you’ll be meeting Dean and I, we both have the Eibach coilovers, we installed them the same time.
Definitely love the ride they give over the Bilstein 2.0 coilovers.
Well worth the $1,500 to $1,900…

Bath day. And, I painted my trim rings. At least if I decide I dont like them I can take it off with a little alcohol and pressure washing.
