First I want to give a big thank you to the forum members and John and Sydney from @SPVPARTS. Without everyones help this project would not have come to fruition.
The goal was 2 Diode Dynamics C1R mounted to spare tire and a third in the hitch.
The lights on the spare do running lights, reverse...
I’m wiring up the Diode Dynamics C1rs for rear aux lighting. I have the harnesses I need from SVP. I can get the wires in to the sub compartment. How do I get them to the exterior? I found a path shown by my pinky finger but it seems kind of risky. How have you guys run these wires?
i knocked over my tray of hardware while working on the rig.I think I found everything but 1 of the bolts that secures the trim over the curtain airbag. It’s probably sitting around in another dimension of time and space with all the 10mm sockets laughing at me. Anyway here are some pics. Again...
First off thank you to everyone on the forum who help blaze the path for the rest of us. In this case DRC was a huge help locating the terminal for the delayed accessory pin.

With that out of the way let me celebrate. After struggling where to mount the Yaesu...

I have a MSD solid state relay that I want to power a few accessories with. Ham radio will be delayed accessory trigger the rest can be run/start triggered.
Has anyone been successful installing female terminal kits DU2Z-14474-JA or DU2Z-14474-DA into the BCM Connector 3 as...
Finally installing the overhead mount and dash cams. I need to run a 1/8” diameter wire to the back. If I stay behind and above the curtain I think it shouldn’t be in the deployment path. Thoughts concerns?
Anybody have and tips,tricks,videos about running wires up the passenger side A pillar? I need to run a thin power cable for the dash cam and 1 cat5 like control cable for my Yaesu FTM500 head. Up the pillar to the Lobo Off-road Overhead Rack. I believe there is an air bag curtain in that A...
I’m ready to start the inside wiring for 12v and comms. My power and antenna cable will enter on drivers side but need to end up on passenger side. I’m 55 with 2 new hips, a knee and 2 repaired shoulders so the less time I spend contorted under the dash the better. Any tips for crossing the...
Mounted the @Baja Designs LP4s and ham antenna. Used a @SPVPARTS single on pass side and a double on drivers side. The double provided a spot to mount the M2M antenna mount. I modified the M2M mount to accept a true NMO mount. Antenna is a Comet CA-2x4SR NMO. Antenna looks great front to back...
For those looking at Diode Dynamics and Baja Designs some measurements.
Diode Dynamics - 3.25x3.25”
Baja Designs - 3x3”
That .25” difference means that 3 DD cubes won’t fit without partially blocking the outer most light. As you see 3 BD Squadrons fit perfectly.
SVP harness systems make your...
Put the Goat Fab sliders on this morning. Turned out great. I coated the faces that touch the body with fluid film then tightened them. Hopefully this will mitigate moisture becoming trapped between the metal. I didn’t order the pinch seam cover plates. I felt the slider hides it very well.
I searche3d and found threads where some fit some don't. It seems many vendors now list a DOES NOT FIT hoss 3.0. Can someone explain the fitment issue? Arent the A arms the same for all trims? i'm assuming it must be a clearance issue with the larger shock bodies, wheel spacing and steering...
Does anyone happen to have the OEM part number for the M6 nut on the aux battery studs? The FPP winch includes 2 M6 nuts but they have a much smaller flange than the one in the pic. Seeing as how the Zeon 10s winch max amp is like 465 I’d like to make sure its terminals are secured with more...
I can’t say enough good things about John Trischler at Specialty Performance Parts @SPVPARTS. Super knowledgable and helped me design harnesses for my 24 Bronco Wildtrak Aux stuff.
Some background I did 25 years in hybrid fiber coax and cell tower wiring and have always been OCD about wiring...
2024 Wildtrak SAS - I will be running the factory wheels and tires until they wear out. This could take me 3 years or more. This is my daily and I have no plans to to go past 35's. I am wondering if I need to do the Turn Offroad tailgate reinforcement now or can I wait? I don't wheel that...
When I install the winch I'm on the fence about moving the camera from the grill to to the fairlead. I really don't want to mess with the vehicle electronics and start chasing codes and gremlins. For this reason I won't be touching the parking sensors or the ACC.
I've found images online but...
UPDATE - after a 250 mile trip today the pass side diff seal is indeed leaking. Not bad but it is leaking. Hopefully not a lengthy repair process. I should drop the skid and check the level to make sure its not low.
2024 Wildtrak SAS with 700 miles. Picked it up 11/5/2024 with 11 miles on it...
After placing my order on Jan 23, 2024 my 24 Wildtrak is finally in the stable. The online color palette never really equates to the in person. I really like how the Eruption Green turned out in person.
Ford performance winch is in the garage ready to install. Need to pic out some light to fill...
