how does the Craven Antenna compare to the stock antenna?

All in all it works OK especiallyin the bigger cites, the stock antenna works better when out in the boonies. IMO.

Installed the clear door sill protectors.
Pretty easy installation, similar to any window film installation.

Clean the area
Soapy water on the door sill AND the sticker
Place sticker, soapy water let's it move around.
Squeegee (sp?) out the soapy water and air bubbles when in your spot.

Mounted my 3d printed prototype BYOD rail. Still need to figure out best way to mount my phone. Leaning towards magnet. I wonder if I can glue a neodymium magnet to the base and sandwich a piece of steel between the phone and case?

Magnet is my vote.

Magnet is my vote.

I'm gonna try the magnet, I heard it minimally, if at all, messes with the sensors of the phone

Just gotta paint it. Black, gray, or BD interior trim blue?

I went gray/ black
Looks good IMO

Also my go rhino DSS step / sliders came in (my wife & kids need a step to get in; I liked the looks)

Probably won't get them mounted until this weekend

 

[FstFrd00]

Mounted the DSS sliders and cut the front mud flaps (added an edge guard to cover the cuts)

Curious on the GoRhino DSS, do they stick out past the farthest point on the doors, i.e. stop most door dings? I really wanted to stick with the factory sliders, but I am thinking we are going to need some sort of step and would like to protect the rockers from rock chips. The AR Billet steps look awesome, but pricey and don't help with rockchips/door dings much. I like the looks of these much better than the wider D6, just hoping they protect enough from dings and chips (will probably add mud flaps like yours as well) Bronco scheduled build date 2/1/22. Almost same as yours, just soft top and Oxford white.
