Wow! Whole rig is amazing. Who makes your dash rail/picatinny phone/tablet/GoPro, etc. mount and arms? I like the phone to the left of the steering wheel.

The mount system is 67.designs. Since there are minimal attachment points, it was honestly a little wobbly initially.

I solved that and the challenge of "how do I keep things powered but looking clean with no dangling cords" by "upside down" mounting 2 Anker battery banks which counter-balance everything PERFECTLY. Tip: put some double sided velour tape down each side of the batteries to increase grip and prevent scratching.

This set-up would looks really nice on a Raptor Bronco or the one with the big snorkel just my opinion and you did a good job...

I see you didn't do winch are you going to do a winch and if so which winch will you use

Kind words. Thanks. We considered a Raptor, an APG PreRunner and running portals. All of them push the wheels out extremely wide for trying to get down shelf roads and when rock-crawling. Also, the larger roll-bar on the Raptor means that you can't fit the AAL set-up that we have in the back. But they are super amazing!

You sir, ask very good questions and pointed out probably the only thing we didn't upgrade. We carry extensive recovery gear and I'm a highly experienced mountaineer and understand Z-pulleys, etc. but, that can never replace a winch in some situations. That said, they're heavy, expensive, can impact Badlands cameras, approach angles, etc. so at this point, I currently have no plans to install one. An integrated winch and better alternator location are the 2 best reasons to get a 2.3l IMHO.

Great build! Hope to see Kermit at UBB in a few weeks.

You totally had me at the Top Gun quote, and that green is to die for. I think everyone else has the technical stuff pretty well covered, Great job!!! Man that is a lot of research and effort, and it really shows.
But what I'm really needing to know is where you got the DONT PET THE BRONCO patch?????

 

[KermitBronco]

Kind words! I loved last year's Touron Warning by the NPS so much that I actually trademarked "Don't Pet The Bronco" and had that made. I'll have some stickers to hand out at UBB.

Outstanding looking build! My brother lives in Redondo and I have several friends who live in the tree section of Manhattan. Maybe I will wave at you from my rental car when I am in SoCal visiting friends and family

Go Eruption Green! The best color choice IMHO...
