Neat, following

Rear end collision ≠ Front end collision. Yes the Bronco was the only one able to drive away but the other cars crumple zones did their jobs. If rear ends of SUVs / hatchbacks crumpled it’d be a big issue.

Weekend bump, priced at $50 now.

Update: put in the tap and used the die on the bolt and threads looked to be cleaned nicely. Unfortunately after threading it in the bolt is still spinning freely. Bit of a bummer and wondering if I just need a new bracket at this point.

Winner winner, fit perfectly in that slot. Thanks for the idea, was helpful in figuring it out.

Good to know thanks, I have some calipers to measure the body of the bolt which should be able to show the size thread hole, right?

I recently purchased a used slide out tailgate and the front right threads (closest to the tailgate hinges) are cross threaded. What’s the best tool to fix this? Most thread chaser kits only go up to 12 mm and this is a 13mm bolt.

Bump still available.

For anyone considering one of these I added one to my Bronco (albeit a different brand) and it made a massive difference in NVH.

Bump, make an offer.

IIRC it’s a trim thing for my RAV4 where the fronts have it on lower ones and rears gain it on higher trims. That’d make me believe it could be done aftermarket with provisions being available but in the Broncos case I’m doubtful without a good bit of wiring run.

It’s mildly delayed for me where I’ll have to pull 2x but generally works well. Love that I can have winter gloves on and use it unlike ones that use a tiny button.

Bump, price drop to $80.

Common mod is fitting euro mirrors to US cars for things like VWs and Porsches. Are they legal? Maybe not. But regulations in the US move at a snail’s pace (see also: laser headlights).
