Has anyone tried installing the IAG bars for the soft top? I just tried installing it and neither side bracket fits. The holes are just barely off. But enough that I almost stripped the holes where the screws go into the soft top support thankfully I got the oem bolt back in. But I am returning this product.

I installed mine yesterday. They almost acted a little too short, but once it caught the threading they went right in.

I am just afraid to jam it in to get it to thread and have it strip it completely. Maybe I’ll go to lowes and see if I can find a longer bolt. I did see how that barely look like they will go in. But maybe a longer bolt will help me see what’s going on

Not a bad idea. Once installed, it makes a huge difference! It's nice not having to use the kick stand, especially when your hands are full or you're putting a bulkier object in the back and the kick stand is in the way.

Question for those that have the hood Deflector on....
Did you use the double side tape that came on it or did you retape it? I put mine on and it made a whistling noise so I took it right back off. There were some gaps in the tape so I'm wondering if that might be the source. Also, should it go all the way to the edge of the hood or should I be able to see some paint below it?

You need to shift the plastic top bracket slightly with the other hand to align the holes. If not, it will not start and seems like you are tightening, but is is not. This was the trick for me.

I had to take mine to the place that did my ceramic coating to polish it off in the area for the deflector.

They used the 3m tape that came with it. I haven't noticed anything so far.

I put mine all the way to the edge so you can't see any paint "below".

Omg I finally got it. I did go get longer bolts. My man I was so worried it was going to strip it still. I hope I never have to take that bolt out. Lol

Can you spot the difference?

Of course! Looks great. (I always do those puzzles where you find 6 different things in the bottom cartoon)

A little project I threw together…door bags are coming… I don’t like the factory ones so much so my wife and I will be on that in the next couple weeks.

If anyone is wondering about mud flaps. I bought the ford $50 ones. I installed the back ones. The front ones I had the intention of cutting a hole in due to my step bar. However they also require you to drill into your flare, which in my case is painted. So I’m looking elsewhere for the front flaps. But just fyi if you buy them be prepared to drill into your flare.

Yeah! It was more than what I expected when my salesman called and said they had some gifts for me. The Bronco t shirt hoodie is really nice and I’ll put that pint glass to good use. The other clothing items are all XL so a bit too big but overall a very nice touch from the dealership… before they screw me with ADM! (Just kidding I hope! lol they’ve been fine so far).

You got a haul, I asked my dealer for a hat and got nothing.
