  1. Bracket that attaches behind the spare for mounting light below tire?

    So, I want to mount a light at the rear for trails and such. I originally thought about raising the 3rd brake light with a bracket, and mounting the light below it, but I would get a really bad tire shadow from that location. I also don't want to use the hitch, so below the tire seems like the...
  2. Can the stop-start be programmed to only work when up to temp?

    I don't actually hate using the stop-start with the clutch, its intuitive because its connected to the clutch pedal. I don't like that it starts working 2 minutes after I started the engine when its cold. Is there a way to program the stop-start to only work after a certain water or oil temp...
  3. Is there any way to isolate engine speed signal for a stand-alone tach?

    I've been trying to deep-dive on some of the electrics of the Bronco, and figured it was time to ask instead of driving myself (more) nuts about it. My manual BL has an open spot on the left side of the hero buttons since I don't have trail turn assist. To me, that seems like it'd be the perfect...
  4. Is there a simple on/off switch for Android Auto?

    I'm 95% sure the answer is no, but the whole experience always kind of gets on my nerves and hoped to get a straight answer. I'm really tired of it auto-starting, but I also use it enough that I like the idea that it's at least an option to have it easily available. As of now, it seems like the...
  5. I finally went for it: IAG Red Seat Cover Kit review

    I've done a few small things to the Bronco since getting it last November, mainly paracord grab handles which I almost never use, and fog and driving lights which I also mostly never use. So, so far, my batting average is choking hard. Then, a ray of sunshine BURST FORTH into my notifications in...
  6. Seat cover install, can't get seat Molle panels hooked back on (Solved!)

    So, I jumped on a set of IAG seat covers over the 4th weekend, and spent this afternoon getting the front seats done. I'm just about finished, but cannot get the seatback Molle panels back on the seat for anything. There are hooks at the top that go into holes in the seat frame, but I can't get...
  7. Does anyone own a Gladiator? Thinking about getting an Overland...

    We have had a 2019 Jeep Renegade since new, and its been my wife's car, but also the roadtrip/go-to car. She's getting bored with it, and mentioned last week how much she keeps noticing Gladiators. This is news to me, since she didn't like the idea of me getting one last fall, but she loves the...
  8. New to off-roading, do I *need* a radio?

    So, as I've been making of list of stuff to eventually get, a radio keeps coming up as something I feel like I need. The catch is that I don't have an offroading group yet, and everything is waiting until my 7MT gets handled. Basically, I'm in the thinking about everything phase of stuff. Do I...
  9. Illinois WTT: Badlands optional beadlock wheels for Everglades wheels

    I have under 5,000 miles on my Bronco and want to swap out my optional Badlands wheels, and was hoping someone around IL would want to trade a set of Everglades wheels for them. I would be fine keeping the 33" KO2s if you want the 35"s, or maybe we could work out something to include tires. I'd...
  10. What's on your To-Do List for the first nice weather weekend?

    I've been looking forward to some actual warm, nice weather, and have been putting together a to-do list for that weekend. Chicago has been living up to its reputation of having several seasons of weather each day, so I decided to wait instead of trying to mess around with tools and do wiring in...
  11. Rewiring the AUX switches for more power? EDIT: Solved, how-to wire in relay and lights to AUX

    This question is based on a Lighting thread of mine https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/hella-500-install-two-lights-9-2-amps-can-i-use-aux-6-would-swapping-to-leds-help.68418/ where the solution was to use the harness the lights came with, but cut off the harness switch and use the AUX in...
  12. What size fuel tank does each version get? My 4dr Badlands is 16.9gal?

    So, from everything I've read the 2-door got the 16.9 gallon tank, and the 4-door got the 20.8 gallon. However, every time I've filled up from almost empty, my 2.3/7MT always clicks off at 15.x gallons. I've tried to fill it more, but nope, its done and the gauge shows full :confused: So, is it...
  13. Hella 500 install: two lights, 9.2 amps, can I use AUX 6? Would swapping to LEDs help?

    I have a pair of Hella 500s (12v/55w each) that I want to install, which end up being 4.58amps each, or ~9.2 amps total. I know that AUX 3-6 uses 16ga wiring and 10amp fuses. The harness they come with has a 15 amp fuse installed, so I know I "should" use AUX 2, but I'd rather save that for...
  14. Does anyone else wish the console lid was thinner? 7MT gripe content

    So, I've got a complaint, and its probably because I have a 7MT - does anyone else think the console lid is too thick to shift comfortably? I realized this the other day, and figured "why not try shifting with the console lid up?" Guess what, try it, it is actually pretty awesome. My elbow...
  15. First mod for the Badlands, RokBlokz original long w/33" BFG KO2

    I took advantage of the good weather this past weekend to finally install the RokBlokz kit I had bought Black Friday. I researched the crap out of flaps last year and decided to go for it with the discount. I'll be honest, it is an impressive kit, where the plastic feels solid yet flexible and...
  16. MOD bumper enjoyers - Have you removed the end cap loops? Did it matter?

    There are a lot of average modular bumper enthusiasts in the 6G Bronco crowd, and many of us have (or plan to) install lighting in left and right mod bumper pockets. However, that creates an issue if/when you want to remove the end cap loops for extra clearance, since that makes it easier to...
  17. When are enough mods enough? A new truck owner discovers the 4x4 aftermarket 😵‍💫

    I've always been a car guy, and know which mods are useful and which are more bling that substance. The Badlands is my first truck, I'm thinking about fun 4x4 stuff for the first time, and I'm new to this whole aspect of the automotive hobby. I'm from IL, and the Great Lakes aren't know for...
  18. Let there be power: Dual-battery setup? Other options?

    So, as I've been trying to get ideas together for mods for my Badlands Lux, I've been thinking about the Bronco having multiple outlets, Zone Lighting, and all that. I would like to be able to use those lights or power ports without killing the battery, and have been wondering about what it...
  19. Let's play budget Badlands setup

    I recently got a 4dr Badlands 7MT Lux, and aside from mudflaps I have been thinking about getting the most out of this thing. That means spending money on good stuff as needed, but also being creative with what I've got and not just blindly kitting it out. I'm in Illinois, so I don't have...
  20. Has anyone painted the non-SAS beadlock WHEELS silver? Photoshop wizard request

    I have a black Badlands and was thinking about how the optional beadlocks would look with silver centers instead of the black. I've tried digging around for pics and haven't found anyone who has painted the actual wheels, its always about the trim rings. I think silver or some other lighter...
