  1. Raise Rear View Mirror - SOLUTION: Mirror Riser

    Great find! At 6’8ā€, I totally understand your frustration. So many vehicles I’ve just adapted to over the years. Just ordered one… Thanks!
  2. Yes, That’s a Grandma Removing a 2-Door Bronco Hard Top (using EZ4x4 lift)

    For those considering a top lift… the purchase has proven to be one of the best. Purchased the EZ4x4 and have taken top off & on multiple times, always by myself with ease, no assistance from Wife and I’m one of the old grey beards! After top is off, I drop as low as lift allows, bag the Ft &...
  3. Swapped my OEM Seatbelts for Red from L&D Solutions

    You remove and send your belt assembly, and they change and send back? 1 week turnaroun. Intersting… didn’t know that was done.
  4. Help me pick the color of my first Bronco!

    Color should be your choice! I never had green and selected Shelter Green. Beautiful and color shifts from Green, Brown, Grey in different light.
  5. Yes, That’s a Grandma Removing a 2-Door Bronco Hard Top (using EZ4x4 lift)

    Mine was March timeframe and came with instructions for Side Crank. But within package were a few extras that I figured out looking at photos were to move to rear. Had to drill a few holes in vertical post but otherwise all set to go. I first built as a side crank...then moved to rear crank...
  6. Color Matched Tube Doors?

    In an earlier year? The ā€˜25 Raptor had a paint match Top & Fenders, but didn’t include mirror caps. For the $$, if they offer it… ya think they’d include on Raptor. Ha!!
  7. Color Matched Tube Doors?

    I hadn’t seen that… wow! That adds a nice touch, would look great in Shelter Green. That would make them look a lot more ā€œfinishedā€ and sharpe! I too kinda stepped back on $600 premium for paint match of door tubing. But when you consider paint matched side mirror cap covers were $460 and...
  8. Top-off season is great… until the sun starts absolutely cooking the interior šŸ˜‚ā˜€ļø

    Black on black sounds great! My Raptor is Shelter Green, accented with Race Red accents (beauty rings, silicon letters, etc) so got the JTops BRaptor mesh in Red. Came Red Mesh with black edge framing… looks and feels excellent. You can leave Bimini in place… they suggest you fold part of the...
  9. Do I need Colder spark plugs after I installed the Ford Performance Procal tune?

    On the 3.0 Raptor… ProCal: noticed an improvement but not as expected… I thought a 50hp gain would be more noticeable. The Tranny I noticed more change than engine.
  10. Top-off season is great… until the sun starts absolutely cooking the interior šŸ˜‚ā˜€ļø

    That sunshade Bimini is a fabulous price point, and overall nice product. I went with the JTop for less flapping, noise and overall product… but at a significantly higher price, Both have their markets. Also got the Door bags… 4 pak. Nice to have.! Later added the EZ4x4 door cart and cover…...
  11. Do I need Colder spark plugs after I installed the Ford Performance Procal tune?

    On the laggy squishy pedal… might consider a Banks Pedal Monster. On the BRaptor 3.0, the pedal felt slow as well. Recently installed pair of iBanks and Monster Pedal. Made a strong significant improvement in throttle behavior and it’s set to lower Sport setting, which isn’t the most...
  12. If You Could Go Back Before Buying Your Bronco, What Would You Do Differently?

    Went looking… was looking at an Outer Banks SAS, gloss black with paint matched Top & Fenders. Ford had a $1000 incentive for Jeep Owners. My Wife liked the ā€œnice green, pretty interior and curvy fendersā€ unit a few down the row. Explained it was substantially more… but internally wasn’t...
  13. Clear Sunroof for 2026 Ford Bronco Raptor

    For those interested in the Sky365 Glass Top panel, and holding out for Bronco release. Looks like that won't be happening for long time if any. Sent Sky365 a quick support question if adding the Bronco panel. Looks like Putco is the only worthy option. Response follows...
  14. Two questions

    I didn’t see which section you were meaning or if on glass or mirror enclosure. The BRaptor due to width has wide running lights on mirror. Red facing rear and Amber forward. Some mistake these for turn signals.
  15. Hard Top Lift Recommendations?

    Here’s a similar discussion on lifts you might find informative. Has a good sampling of top Brands in discussion. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/ez4x4-hard-top-remover-lift-my-review.129013/ I found this video comparison informative… especially since it’s recent: 3-4 months.
