Who makes the attic you are using ?
Pura Vida Offroad. Great use of space for me. I don't have any pics after I loaded it out, but was able to put a recovery rope, tree saver, Mor-flate hoses, extra air filters, and a couple of other things up there. The best part is that it's completely out of sight from outside the truck or when looking through the rearview. Of course, the HUGE 3rd brake light and spare obscure most of the rearview anyway....

Had a great time with fellow Braptor Owner Fukinstoned today. Not too often do you get to see two Braptors side by side!! Just took possession of mine yesterday. I am most likely the happiest Braptor owner alive. I am so ecstatically happy that you literally cannot wipe the grin off my face!! Happy to be part of the Braptor family!!

Wow very cool. Exciting day (week -life). I like your parking. That's how I park my F250. Can't wait to do the same with my Raptor. A large rig needs space. Side by side is real nice. Congratulations...Awesome.

LOL thank you. We both thought we were being A__ho__s for parking this way but I assure you it was only for the photo op. Was a good time and then we went to grab a coffee and parked like we should and they attracted a lot of attention for sure.

Curious as to why you are going s pod over switchpro? And with either, u can dim lights so definitely dont need to wire high and low of lp6.
I have used switchpro in a few of my other vehicles. I like how they work. Never had any issues. I was going to try the s pod just to try something new. With the digital control panel I though it might be something that would look cool with the similar features.

With big trucks you are generally always parking at the back anyway. I don't spend really anytime in places with small parking lots and spaces. I have no problem taking up space as you need to with a large truck. It is not like I am taking the only parking. I just back in. Sometimes in the lines and sometimes not. All good. I must say there was a time traveling and I did take up two spots and some dude got all huffy about it. I think over the years there has been a couple of times. I have been driving big rigs for a long time and sometimes you just got to do what you got to do.

I spent the last week wheeling on the Beach in Corolla NC. Fun is an understatement.
I also spent a considerable amount of time figuring out and configuring the Bronco Trail App.
The app is not very intuitive...yet and I updated it yesterday. It is still glitchy and not many trails.
Definitely a work in progress but as more content and features are added - its gonna continue to get better.
The youtube link below is edited video at 2x playback speed from the app with included telemetry


What was the video source that you used? I assume you just mounted your phone to the dash and captured the video from there?

Ha ha. I was just looking at your pictures again. When I said side by side is real nice I was talking about the picture of the two Raptors and nothing to do with the parking. I may need to re think my parking...haha Good thing most of my parking is in dirt or gravel and I don't have to draw between the lines. I'm obviously not good at that.

Well finally put in a diabolical slip stream enclosure. Just what a topless bronco needs. Keep stuff from flying around and that little piece of mind knowing your stuff is locked up in the parking lot.
I love my slip stream. Took it from my badlands and installed it in my Raptor. What I love is the ease of use, especially when using the Top Lift Pro. Plus in the winter months I can almost completely remove it and reinstall quickly when the weather gets warm. Much easy then initial install now that all the pieces are together and can be removed more assembled than how it ships.

One thing I did was buy new trim guards. The ones that come with the unit were flimsy and would come off frequently.

Yes you gotta do what you gotta do in some cases. It’s the first week so of course I am scared of people that don’t pat attention and ding doors. I will get over it. Waited way to long for this thing to have it damaged in the first week of finally getting it.

Lol no worries. I told my work they had to give me my own special parking spot and had to bring in boulders to allow me to rock crawl and park on top of them to do my Braptor justice. Of course they laughed and said…….ah no!!!
LOL!

I did love how easy it was to remove the top panels so I could use my top lift pro. Took me no time to pop off the panels. I haven’t had enough time with it for the trim to act up but I’ll definitely keep an eye on it

The video source was my IPhone 14 pro mounted on the dash with a Tacform mount. When you finish your trip- the Bronco trail app prompts you to save video and then downloads it into your photos folder.

Ever find out what went wrong? I saw a video on YouTube of a guy have the exact same thing happen to him. I think it was a fuel regulator or something.
Turns out it was a loose pin on an electrical connection. They also found that there was a problem with #3 and 5 spark plugs. Damaged from factory. Replaced them. Now I have a catalytic converter fault code coming up. They are replacing them soon as the parts are in.
