Mean Green build… time will tell

Add the external speaker and set the radio to both the mic and external speaker. Mounted it withe a camera mount screw. I taped the bracket.

In case is was not obvious, I am hearing impaired.

Temps made it up into the low 50’s, so it was a busy weekend for me.

I installed my backup / chase lights. They work with my factory backup lights and on my Aux 6 switch. I used a self modified DD chase light harness. I got busy with the harness installation and forgot to take pictures, but I popped the rear cap weather molding up and ran the Aux wire under it in a groove and down to the taillight.

76 today and I could not resist working on the Bronco… took about 20 minutes to do the actual install laying on the ground.

Ok, so she is officially out of factory warranty… just past 36k.

As I have been wiring up my Aux switches, I’ve been putting the labels on. Dutch lights and the winch are not done yet, but I finished the labels off anyway.

Prepping the rock lights for the next warm patch…

Old school, but I have had them on all my trucks. The face down as “curb feelers’.

I like that they are tilt-able. What brand are these ones?

 

[Mean Green]

They were a cheap “Autozone” pickup. They have held up very well and they do the job.

Changed it up, went Ford Performance colors…

Slowly making progress again… I installed my Ford Performance Rigid rock lights yesterday. I chose what I consider the more “traditional“ locations of in front of the front and rear wheels. The kit only has four lights, though I think eight would be better suited for the Bronco. I can see why other decide to take full advantage of the fog light type beam by mounting them in the top of the wheel well When there are only four. Amber was not my first choice, but if you have been paying attention, I like to shop and save on these accessories. i believe I noted this earlier in the thread when I bought them, that they were a steep discount. Anyway, I mounted them with magnets, put the wiring in plastic sheafing, created a four way harness and put them on my Aux4 switch.

I forgot to log my backup lights…

I need to go back and add some pictures of the GMRS radio install. The console pictures would be helpful to someone trying to to the same…

Well I’m preparing for the winch installation. I’ve already bought the stinger solenoid, cable caps, and now I have been looking for a 90 degree bus bar to run off the battery. I’ve had no luck, so I am gonna make one. Aux switch 2 is wired to the front grill purple wire. That is what I am going to wire to the solenoid. I’ll take pictures when I am done, but all the remaining parts came in today.

Your still in the 5yr 60k power-train, I think that is the most important one anyway.

You are correct!!! Knowing me, I’m sure I have either already done something to void it, or will in the near future… lol

Made my bus bar, but I don’t know what I was thinking when I ordered a 4AG cable… ordering a 2AG now…
