Yes it was easy, battery operated and no wires. I used a piece of fishing line and starting on one end worked it up and down between the adhesive backing and door. Once I got about a 1/4 of the way through enough came that I used my fingers to take it off the rest of the way.
Only a little bit of residue remained and a solution of warm water / Dawn took cleaned that off quickly.
There was plenty of sticking power on the key pad too. After cleaning the inside of the fuel door with the same warm water / dawn solution I dried it with a hairdryer and stuck the keypad back on.

Had no idea I could move the keypad

Well, here's what I do. I look at things make choices and then ask questions from people I'm buying the product from. With regards to engineering and performance on vehicles I own, I talk to service managers at dealers and, I have friends in the industry who work at a couple major auto makers and I ask them. Try to obtain all the info you can as opposed to just buying stuff. It's amazing how much you can screw up your vehicle by making a decision based on how something looks.

Well I will let you know if it screws something up. But so far I haven’t had any overheated brakes yet. But if I do I will be sure and let all you know not to buy them.

Any one wrap their base model grill gloss black? I am thinking of doing it once I get mine. Also gonna get the steelies gloss black as well and upgrade the tires.

Icon (as everyone probably knows), runs a similar wheel with slots. I really like the cap and haven't seen this (the cap) from wheel manufacturer.
Very cool imo. detroitsteelwheel.com has beautiful solid rims which I've seen on trucks and lowriders. Also very cool imo. A great look!

Are you sure the factory rim has 55 mm offset?

OEM wheel data from this thread https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/-2021-bronco-oem-factory-rims-wheels-specs-sizes-offsets-bolt-pattern-center-bore-.11893/tps://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/-2021-bronco-oem-factory-rims-wheels-specs-sizes-offsets-bolt-pattern-center-bore-.11893/

FYI, I have a set of big bend wheels and they are marked 55mm.

Watching. I’m specifically curious how the cloth seats compare and maybe if anyone has regrets not getting the washout floor​

I think the seats are great and the floor hasnt been a problem. I love my base.

 

[nomnom]

cloth seats are great. i've ridden in MGV and although nice, not $7000 nice. Same with washout floors, my $100 floor mats are just fine.

I personally prefer the base headlights over the heritage, although the braptor ambers had me thinking twice haha.

I planned on modifying my 2.3 basesquatch from the beginning and it's coming along great, very happy.

I too, love the cloth seats. Maybe not as carefree as the marine grade or leather would be, but they are warm up fast on cold mornings and are not scalding hot on a hot day.

Will probably install some seat covers from PRP or Bartact if/when they become available.

I agree Tim, the cloth seats are pretty nice! I thought I saw on Bartact's website they have covers now for the 4-door? I talked to Sal over there a while back about using mine to fit up for the 2-door but I've been too busy to get it over there.

Exactly right. I don’t know why so many people question my wheels about heat. No one ever seems to question these wheels and they are on all kinds of trucks. But for some reason mine are going to cause issues.

Exactly! Black Rhino "Solid" (top wheel in your images), is on my list of potential buys, and a lot of people appear to be using. I'm more concerned about lift kits and suspension issues. Additionally, how strong are some of the more open wheels when off-road? I'd be worried about busting one.

I considered the black rhino solids as one of my first choices but when I found out that the offset made way to much poke for my taste, I decided to go with a custom wheel.
