604Bronco’s Build Journal

[604Bronco]

I skipped the mats on mine intending to get them later. Looks like Husky is the way to go then.

I love these mats, and I literally haven't used them yet lol. Great quality and way better coverage than the factory rubber mats.

They do have the small spikes on the back, and I know it's a concern for some with wash out floors (which I have), but the spikes are pretty soft so I'm not overly concerned about it.

Front & rear Husky X-Act Contour floor mats:

So my Husky mats showed up today - Took about a month to get them, but they're finally here! The quality seems great so far! We'll see long term, but I love that they are more rubberized vs. the slipper Weathertech mats I've had in past vehicles. These also have a much higher lip and better coverage vs. the OEM Ford rubber mats. I also like that the Husky rear mat is one piece vs. Ford's two-piece setup.

I've included some pictures below of my Ford mats vs. the Husky ones. Unfortunately, Husky accidentally shipped me two of the rear mats. They were amazing to reach out to, and addressed the issue immediately. Within < 5 minutes they had a new set being shipped out to me, so I will update my post when my front mats arrive.

KOVERZ console/arm rest cover:

Another easy modification added to the interior - The KOVERZ console/arm rest cover from @KOVERZ

Simple, but makes the centre arm rest much more comfortable. I had something very similar in my Jeep, and it was money well-spent.

Tip: Follow the directions! I thought I was smarter than that and didn't need them, however, I was wrong. Definitely helped installing it

Just a quick update - My front Husky floor mats finally came in, so I updated my original post: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/604bronco’s-build-journal.27755/post-1152655

Much better coverage than the OEM rubber mats!

Cargo Net:

Wanted to post a picture of the rear cargo net. Although that’s boring, I haven’t seen many pictures of it so it might be helpful for some folks.

I was also able to wash my Bronco for the first time since getting it. Thought I’d share some romantic sunset pictures These are actually the only pictures so far showing all my exterior mods in all their glory… thus far

Enjoy!

How did you wash it? By hand? touchless car wash? Looking for ideas that won't harm the soft top but also so I don't have to freeze

I always hand wash. I needed a step stool for the roof though lol. I use a soft brush on a pole for that, then a wash mitt for the rest.

Order Timelines:

Seems like the reservation date would have been the most important part of this timeline, but you left that out? Dealer walk-in?

I didn’t include that because when I reached out to place my order, I was told they had a reservation cancel and allowed me to scoop it up and change the build to my specs. I thought that was nice of them as they could have just brought in the original order and sold it for a mark-up off the lot.

I think the original reservation was from November, but not 100% sure.

Well, this week I wrapped up my "last" mod from my original list. I'll add more... don't worry!

Blackvue DR900X-1CH 4k Dash Camera & tamper-proof mount:

I've had a Blackvue dash camera in my past few vehicles. It's actually been the same one, I've moved from vehicle to vehicle. It was the Blackview 650GW-1CH, and was an amazing camera. I always simply plugged it into my 12V outlet, and it would turn on/off with the vehicle, without any "parking mode" feature.

For the Bronco, I wanted it hardwired in, and felt this was a good opportunity to upgrade my camera. So I opted for the Blackvue DR900X-1CH. It's one of, if not the newest camera from them. It records in 4K and the clarity is top notch... I thought my old camera was good, but this is way better. Plus since it's hardwired in, it has "parking mode." I also purchased the tamper-proof windshield mount - It's essentially like the original mount, but there's a piece that "locks" it to the camera, and covers the wires, preventing someone from easily disconnecting the camera. I imagine from an anti-theft standpoint it's not rock-solid, but I got it primarily to prevent someone from quickly unplugging it (i.e. - When someone else is in the vehicle, maybe for getting an oil change or something). If they want to unplug it, I suspect they're hiding something...

I did not hardwire it myself, so I can't answer any questions relating to that. However they did feed the wires up through the rear view mirror piece and it's super clean. Very happy with the placement, and it's not in the way.

Any questions regarding the camera, feel free to ask!

StickerFab glow-in-the-dark AUX Switch Stickers:

These arrived today from @StickerFab - Love the look of them, and they seem like great quality! Looking forward to remembering which switch is for which light setup now

What do they look like in the dark?

What do they look like in the dark?

They glow. LOL

In hindsight, I’d likely get the darker ones with the glow-in-the-dark text instead. Either way, I’m happy with these and highly recommend! Much better than trying to remember which AUX switch is which.
