Got my new LASfit light bar:

Its mounted up, but not wired yet. I should be able to wire it up later tonight.

I will probably order the Prinsu wind deflector that's made for light bars, though I will have to trim it since the deflector is made for 40'' bars and this is a 42''.

I did a bunch of research on LASfit and they are getting really, really positive reviews. Figures, since its 1/4 the price of Diode Dynamics and other comparable lights, I would give it a shot.

I finished the install of the lightbar. This is really powerful, can't wait to see it work at night. I installed the KC Lights windshield cable kit.

Here is the light bar on.

I ordered the Prinsu wind deflector that has the cutout, so I will get it angled properly once I get the deflector installed.

The price on these is really good. Might get a smaller one for the bumper opening if it has good light output

Nothing too spectacular, but with a break in the weather, I got the catfish super deluxe car wash'd. I forget how good the hot pepper red metallic looks, and damn I love looking at it again.
The birds are making their plans to commence the air strikes tomorrow.

I want a set of those as well.
Got lucky that I was able to finally find a new set..Picked up all 5 for $900, which seemed like robbery.

No centercaps or lugs, which is fine since I wouldn't have wanted Bronco centercaps anyways...I'll just need to figure out something..

Story is (mostly) complete. Got the wheels mounted - happy with the new look and stance:

Ordered some black lugs from Stage3 that'll I'll swap the chrome ones out for. Now I just need to figure out a black center cap to purchase.

Looks good! Do you know the offset of the Bronco wheels?

Based on limited research on the Bronco6G forums I believe it's the same exact offset as the stock ranger wheels (+55). I can tell you that after mounting the wheels I would believe that. Since it was the same diameter width tire (265) the tire looks to be in the same spot as the stock wheels/tires.

Installed the Lensun Hood Solar Panel and charge controller. I plugged the solar panel into my Bluetti power bank the other day and was able to pull in 30w from the setting sun on a 45w panel. Now that was with me holding the panel towards the sun. Placed on the hood I was generating less than 8w, but like I mentioned the sun was setting.

not as flashy as some awesome other stuff on this thread, but I got the Ford Accessory trailer brake controller installed.

The dealership installed it, and I paid for the labor on Ford’s accessory website with a 20% discount. I think the labor was capped at $250. Honestly ended up being a steal because the tech wired it backwards on the first try (dealer had never installed this before). So my brake lights were always on and they turned off when pressing the brake lol. So they figured out the problem and fixed it.

I’m glad I didn’t install this. The process sounded like a huge pain.

I'm with you here - had the ford dealer install mine as well. I generally like to DIY but for a couple hundred bucks of labor I gladly let them mess with it. Plus the install was likely cleaner than I would be able to muster :crackup:
