I've been running the ZROADZ front bumper light bracket with a pair of KC SlimLites for over two years. No issues at all, no rust, it's very well made.
This is what I did. Requires drilling the swing gate for the mounting hardware. Just go slow and don't apply much pressure. After drilling the first hole I was never concerned about going all the way through and denting or piercing the exterior metal.
This is what I used:

My Bronco's engine build date is the same as at least one other vehicle in this thread that experienced the valve failure, which required engine replacement. I took delivery in November 2021 and do not put significant miles on it, annually. I finally hit 4,000 on the odometer in September.
But...
This. Exactly what I ended up doing way back in early 2022. Less than $800.
But I do have a couple of KC SlimLites on the front bumper...because how can a Bronco not have some bright smiley Daylighter light guards?
Can you post some images of the front flare where it connects to the fender in front of the door? For those with rails or running boards, I want to see how much clearance is there. Still need protection for thrown rocks on the side of the bronco, but I'm interested in these flares. Also, yes...
No worries. But I disagree. Doesn't matter how many 4-doors exist compared to 2-doors. What matters is whether sufficient numbers of 4-door owners will buy the product. I haven't done market research, but it seems to me it's an easier sale to a 2-door owner than a 4-door.
By definition, a roadster is an open top with two seats. Vehicles with four doors are not roadsters. In case there's any doubt, I'm still gobsmacked that AC targeted non-roadsters for their "Roadster Doors". Unbelievable.
When the community ignores this offering, I suppose AC will conclude...
I contacted Anderson directly, starting this past February. I think my original question was regarding effort to modify their existing halo doors and they let me know step over doors were coming this summer.
From what I can see, these "roadster doors" are not really step over. Looks like they...
I've been asking about these for a few months. Emailed for an update last week and nothing. Now I see this. Um, I really don't think the 4-door owners are your target market. But, okay.
Baffling why there's a market assumption that revenue will only arrive on the backs of 4-door owners. Good...
Just to clarify, did you remove your rear seatbelts/pre-tensioners? I realize the buckles stay plugged in under the floor cover - but I'm interested in removing the rest of the rear belts and pre-tensioners that bolt to the rear cage.
Took the top off on the first day of summer, last year, and didn't put it back on until October. Not counting a day of jury duty in July when I didn't want to leave it "open" in a parking garage.
And this is the day after I bought it in November 2021.
I purchased these and they arrived today. I installed them in about 15 minutes. Plenty of room for hand inside the handle and with respect to clearance with the hardtop.
The Bronco airbags are side curtain and deploy downward parallel to the side window. The grab handles are completely out of...
