What did you do to your Bronco Raptor today?

[TurboS]

Agree they look great. These are not cheap - what's your opinion on value? Did you get a deal?

Since they are strictly a cosmetic change, the value would be dependent on how well you like the appearance. I like the balance of orange and black along with they are Ford OEM covers that are paint matched I think they are a good value. My wife however likes the OEM black plastic on her Badlands, but then she bought mine as a Christmas gift.

Got word that topliftpros is launching a 2.0 product in the next few days. Expecting to ship in early august. Price point will be 100 more than the existing product.

Is anyone considering buying? The late launch isn't very appealing for the summer season.

I know someone on here has had there wheel rings powder coated in Code orange. What was the cost to do it and have they held up? I want to get mine done, just to give the rims a little more pop.

Awesome! There is a Bronco Raptor that looks greener than Cactus Gray, almost looks like it was wrapped in light green.

I missed out on her mount. I went yesterday and they were sold out. Looks great on there.

What size pole did you use for the flag? I want to get all mine ready for a car show in August.

Today I installed some new puddle lights from MVP auto supplies. Took me about five minutes each side turned out super awesome.
At first I installed them and the lights were not displaying properly on the ground. I reached out and received a prompt reply explaining to me how to correct it with the provided tool. Yes I was the dummy that didn’t follow the directions.

Nice addition, are yours the "Red" or "Orange"? It appears the "Red" is the closest to our Code Orange but it's difficult to tell in the online photo's.

What size pole did you use for the flag? I want to get all mine ready for a car show in August.

I used a 3/4" Pole for the flagpole. There is tension holder that will hold the pole in.
There are two brackets, I have measured both see photos below.
There are some in stock on Amazon: It looks like the same thing I purchased.
Tailgate Hinge Flagpole Mount, Rear Tailgate Flag Pole Bracket, Rear Antenna Mount,compatible with Ford Bronco 2/4Doors 2021 2022 2023,Rear Door Metal Flag Holder,1PCS,Black

I did need a p-40 Torx, and a little persuasion to loosen up the existing bolts.

Your modifications look sweet! Very nice ride.

Painted flares (very hard to visually get the Silver to match), black vents, and red Ford letters (I may have opted for red letter outline instead but not my choiceView attachment 9700View attachment 9701View attachment 9702

what wheel size and offset? 20X?

Looks sharp, good job!

I know these will be controversial, but I don't go rock crawling, just beach blasting at Padre Island. I ordered these off Amazon and knew they were not designed for the Raptor. With some brackets laying around in the garage and a lot of cutting and drilling I think they came out pretty good. I also tow my Seadoo and Conqueror UEV-490 behind this and those tires are rock chunkers so will hopefully avoid a few dings.

My mounting of the ARB twin from my suitcase in the cargo area project is underway. Phase one is ADD Rear Window Molle panels to serve as an out of the way mounting surface for the ARB twin. Received the panels today at 6:00 pm mounted by 7:30 .

Overall impression on the panels…. they arrived well packed and all the parts were included (phew!). The panels were in good condition, well made and designed to fit nicely in the rear window space. They provide a flat space on the interior and since they bulge in also create a nice big nook to store stuff when the top is on or secure stuff when off.

I selected these based on the well thought out (mostly) design and that I could remove the hard top without removing the panels, not all designs allow for this. Post install these things are rock solid and look great.

Cons: must have had a soft top as the test Bronco for these. There is no gap large enough to route the rear window cable harness and plug into the interior plug holder when the top is off. I don’t want it flopping around so I’ll have to zip tie for now. On the plus side, the washer hose goes through easily. Longer term I’ll have to make two molle holes into one. Seems pretty straight forward but ADD should have seen that issue.

For install, it would have been nice if ADD just threw some left/right stickers on the panels and four bracket parts for each mirror image side. That would have saved me a little confusion, I’m easily confused.

For future top re-install I’m concerned that it will be challenging to line up the ADD bottom bracket holes with the hard top holes and seat the bolts. Three of the hard top bolts are located between the molle panel and hard top side. The two back ones appear manageable, but it’s a very long reach to the front most hole. We’ll see, but I envision it will involve some swearing. UPDATE: GOOD NEWS! After adjusting the molle brackets post install, I decided to put the hard top back on. As expected after removing the hard top bolts that anchor the molle and dropped the top into place, the brackets shifted and all the bolts would not drop in without binding. After a couple of attempts pushing the brackets while blindly inserting the bolts I had an epihany!

HARD TOP REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:

1. Remove 3 bottom Bronco bolts holding the molle bracket
2. Lower top over bracket
3. Using a T-handle Allen wrench (if you got one) loosen the single bolt that secures the rear most bracket on the molle
4. Using an appropriately thick Phillips head screwdriver drop into each bolt hole to line up everything. Then insert a loosely tighten the Bronco Bolts. This is much easier if you have aftermarket T-Bolts (see pic)
5. Tighten the loosened Allen bolt on the bracket
6. Standing on a footstool (I didn’t need it but I’m 6’2”, rangy and have long arms) which allows you to reach in higher on the slanted D pillar and insert the bolt with one hand while shifting the molle and its bracket slightly to start the bolt. Getting up higher makes it way easier to reach that front bolt.
7. Tighten all your Bronco bolts

It was actually quick and easy once I arrived on this strategy.

Odd fact: The fact ADD gives you a second laser cut, powder coated logo, 8 nuts, bolts & washers and piece of aluminum to sandwich between logos for you to install just to highlight their logo on the interior and exterior is just silly. I skipped this and “only” have one mandatory hard to see logo.

Next up mounting the ARB (easy) and routing the wiring through the truck (less fun).

If someone believes that these are controversial, that's their problem. You apparently selected something practical for all the right reasons. The naysayers don't count.

Picked up my Ford winch kit today. Holy $hit, it arrived on a pallet & weighs a ton! Hopefully will be able to make time tomorrow for installation. Stay tuned…
