Has anyone installed this in their bronco?

wondering if there’s a video or installation guide out there and where you’re mounting it?

also wondering how easy it is to wire up future accessories with this? Where does everything connect?

I have the 6 gang in mine. I removed the Ford badge in front of the cup holder and installed it in that space.

No install video, however, it's a very straightforward process. The only issue is deciding where/ how to mount the box.

do you have a photo? Also, does it hook up straight to the battery or a fuse? Where do the future lights wire into?

I'll snap some pics in the morning. You have to hookup the main power to the battery and the relay to a switchable fuse. The fuse jumper that comes with the kit does not fit the bronco, you will have to go pickup a micro add a fuse kit. The 3rd wire gets grounded.

After that you just hook up the hot wire of whatever accessory to whatever fuse size it needs in the box and ground the other wire.

Not the best pic because it was still a little dark out, here is where I put the mount. The factory bracket needed just very minor modification. I also put a thin washer under the bracket at the bolt holes to spackle it off the plastic slightly. This way I can go back to stock and out the Ford badge back on with no issues.

oh wow! Very nice. I’m assuming the bracket and all the mounting hardware comes with it in the box?

Yes it does. The one thing you will need is a different add a fuse. The one that comes in the box is not the correct size for the bronco.

The sun is still coming up here, I'll try to get a better photo before my wife leaves for work. The Bronco her her daily driver.

Here are some pictures of the install I did last weekend on mine. On the bracket that holds the electronics box I needed to cut off the tabs I marked in one of the photos and drill a hole a little closer to the bracket to attach it to the battery hold down bolt. The circuit breaker is bolted to the battery tray below the Electrical box bracket on one of the square holes. The wiring was ran into the cabin through where the clutch would pass through the firewall and ran the cable up through the A pillar. The switch panel was held in place with 3m tape so no holes had to be drilled. The fuse tap provided is the wrong size so just go to auto zone and pick up the correct one.

These are on sale at Amazon right now for $20 off. I just picked one up since it would be cheaper than trying to aftermarket the Uplifter.
