I have a 21 Badlands Lux pkg. I bought it used. The vehicle is a Canadian model and originally came from the factory with a soft top. The first owner did a conversion with the wiring, tubing, and Ford hardtop. I replaced the rear glass since one of the electrical tabs has broke off. I have the...
I’m stuck between the two. I’ve done research on here and can’t make up my mind. My last vehicle was a modified Exploder ST with 5* E50 tune. I off road a few times a year. I drive in winter storms frequently since I’m a skier. Looking to keep it simple and reliable, but want a noticeable...
I got 1 inch foam. The EPDM was to flimsy. 1" is too big and pushes the seal to far from where it should seat. 3/4 is just right. I'm whistling now on the right side only. So there's another area that I need to find and address. Good thing I have a 3.5 hour drive to Minneapolis tomorrow for...
I'm going the same route tonight. EPDM rubber pipe insulation and weather stripping. How did yours turn out?
My hard top was added later. My Bronco was originally a soft top. Someone did a really nice job running all the lines but did not put a new switch in to make it all work. Ford will not...
I'm going the EPDM rubber route like you. 7/8 internal diameter, which is about .10" larger OD for a little more compression to make a better seal. Great idea for the front. It just turned cold here in WI yesterday and the whistling noise on my way to and from work was horrendous. I had some 1...
OVS 117qt box. The strap handles come off and allow the box to get strapped down without interfering with opening the box. Will use a straight end roller cam strap to prevent box from shifting L to R. 6 foot straps in pics above were loop end. I want to go around the rack rail.
Practice run for camping and adventures in Northern WI and the U.P. The Roller Cam overland set arrived. M6 and M8 rings from Amazon. Black rings from Front Runner. TSlot protection from Amazon. Camper weather stripping and metal edge protection from Amazon. Local hardware store provided the...
Thanks. I’ve also found some stuff on Amazon that works too. I will post it after I get a chance to fully test it on my upcoming overlanding trip. That would be camping in Wisconsin lol.
Mission fail. Placed the full RV grade seal on the rack and 0 intrusive road noise or whistle. Next experiment is to get another RV seal that doesn’t touch the paint. Current RV seal is folded up and sitting against the paint.
I got some sheet metal edging from Amazon. It’s low profile and grips hard. There’s metal clips housed inside the rubber. Also installed the T slot protection strips. Standby for high speed test run (80 mph). I used what was left over from the front fairing to smooth out the sharp edge on the...
Does anyone know what eye bolts fit in the T slots? I just installed my rack and I’m impressed for the price. I cant see how a rack costing 3 X more will function much better.
Dealer said they probably won’t cover my rear glass under warranty since it was a soft top from the factory. I told them I didn’t care and I’d pay for it. Then he said he’s not sure they can put a new turn signal switch in with the rear wiper control. So I guess I’ll find the tech that does...
I’m really happy with my Badlands on 33s. Good mileage and power. It wouldn’t take much to make the Obx look bigger with 17” wheels and 33” tires and a mild lift. 35” tires aren’t really necessary for daily use. I really like the look of 35s but they just have too many drawbacks for me right...
Very odd. I wonder if someone did the conversion and decided not to worry about the washer and wiper. The connection tab is broke off the rear window. Ford is replacing the entire rear window under warranty. I’ll have them look at it. I have the high package so hopefully the heated mirror button...
