Yes! So glad I sought advice (full disclosure the instructions do say to insert carriage head first, doh).
Happy I went 20-degree and did the pinch seam covers as well. Still works as a step and looks sweet!
Super stout and will hold up on the trail.
the driver side was piece of cake, but struggling with fuel tank on passenger side.
Do you have the fuel tank skid?
Plan to call RCI, but donāt see how to get carriage bolts thru frame without removing skid and dropping tank a few inches. I have a ā21, maybe the tank/skid is slightly...
RCI are frame mounted too. Positive reviews. Ordered my set about 5 weeks ago. Getting close to picking up!

Are you tapped into wire harness? Or aux switch? Or both? Wondering if you have a bad +dc connection. Iād run a jumper from battery to the light harness.
Did similar a very similar swap on my ā21 BL MT. Remove crash bars. Did quite a few twisty/bendy trails and no rubbing issued. Speedo and odo will be about 3% off.
Has anyone installed the remote control version?
main reason for my install is technical night drives. Front camera view gets washed out with my headlight and ditch lights, so Iām hoping to angle these down to illuminate immediately in front.
I have spare Aux switches, but wondering if the...
I have a ā21 BL with same issue. It doesnāt bother me too often, until it does! Tried the hood pads but not enough adjustment. May try to adjust driver side down to even things out.
Did you get a better solution?
I ran 315/70 (need a 1ā wheel spacer to clear extra width) without any rubbing even off-road.
personally Iād have no concerns doing what you propose.
First class! Going to be worth the wait, and my Bronco seems to run just fine without badges. :)
Excited to see the Badlands satin black (the one with the horse not the monkey).
And you get the 4.70 gears. Walks up a wall in crawler gear. No regrets.
Well I would have changed one thing and NOT opted for beadlocks and MT tires. I wouldāve went with standard wheels and ko2.
I went turndown 2.3, mostly for clearance and it tucks up nicely. Havenāt been able to side by side with dual tips, but the cold-start, acceleration, and no drone makes me smile every time. No regrets.
And I freed up a ton of space for ARB tank where old, giant muffler used to hang.
