AR | BADLANDS Edition MKII BAM BYODR

[cerberos213]

Has anyone else had one side of their rail lifted considerably? I remember reading on one of these threads about a similar issue, but don’t remember their solution. My right side is lifted about a quarter inch… I could shim it, but it would be obvious that it isn’t level across the dash.

unrelated, but what is the longer silver 1/4 inch bolt with the nut that came in the package?

For anyone who ends up having a similar issue, I ended up shimming a single width of printer paper barely 1/4”x1/4” just under the AR logo opposite the side the was raised on my rail. Completely leveled it out. On my rail, specifically the center piece that mounts to the threaded hole, there was a very, very slightly raised paint spot that you could just feel with your nail, but enough to throw the foot up past the point where the 3m would hold. Easy fix, but something to look out for if you’re having the same problem.

I have the same issue with mine; neither side actually reaches the dash. I'm guessing that's what the 3M is for? The days are cold here lately, I'm waiting for it to warm up a bit before I try sticking them onto the dash. @EIGHTLUG any insight into this? Also, I received button head hardware as opposed to the flat head tapered screws mentioned in the OP...

Mine was one side was way up and the other solidly planted. After “leveling “ they were each up about a 1/16 which was fine for the 3m on mine.
see my last post about the paper shim.

In the hardware pack, you should have received a plastic washer. The washer is only needed if the feet don't sit flat to the dash. Being Ford, there is a lot of tolerance stacking on the dash, so there can be some variance on how the feel will mate with the dash. The ideal fit is the feet touch the dash before the center touched the plastic mount at the center of your dash. As you tighten the center screw, that preloads the feet and allows the 3M VHB to adhere better.

If you received button head screws, you can email us and we'll ship you out the tapered head screws. There was a batch that went out with the OG BAM hardware, not the MKII hardware.

Hi,
I finally got my Bronco from the body shop…
So the feet do not firmly touch the dash, where do I install the flat washer, under the centre mount?

Shoot over a pic of the feet on the dashboard, please.

Hi,
I installed it before I read your reply, using the washer. I assumed that I put the washer on the centre mount to exaggerate the ”bow” in the rail, helping the seating for the side mounts. It worked pretty good, but I’m having a heck of a time getting the right side to stick. I cleaned the recess with alcohol before mounting, but no dice. I’m really worried that this rail will not allow for the use of my iPad, any suggestions? (This is replacing my 67DESIGNS BroncoRail, which kept unclipping on the right side from the rail mount)
