KRAKEN - 2 door Black Diamond "build"

[KRAKEN]

Finished painting & installing the grill letter overlays... much better match to the gray wheel trim rings. Also took care of a couple other front end things. Painted KRAKEN's capable bumper shackle brackets with Ford Blue engine enamel and cut out some trail marker inlays from some blue carbon fiber vinyl that I had laying around.

Prepping for some nice springtime topless weather I got a Broncover rain cover to help keep out the rain, sun, and damn barn cats that love to nap in any open vehicle. Great rat catchers, poor passengers.

Been thinking about getting one of these, @KRAKEN have you done an install yet? How fast can you get it covered?

One of my concerns was water pooling in the middle of it, but I think with some practice I'd be able to get it off without getting water in the Bronco.

I have not used it yet. I have a couple of short over the road trips to do near term so I haven't pulled my top yet. I can't see how installing it would take very long after doing it 2-3 times and developing a routine. It has a pole to stand up in the middle of the top to shed water and keep it from pooling.

Getting dirty doing Bronco stuff...

Installed some SSV Works 6.5 inch Speaker Pods with some Blue Grills... and WOW, what a difference it makes. No amp, no forscan, just plug & play. Probably will be the extent of my audio upgrades. Sounds a whole lot better than those anemic OEM speakers and good enough for me.
Install note: The supplied directions were very lacking and could have been written better by a one-eyed Chinese kid on meth... but the install is simple enough to figure out.

Did those bolt up? Did you have to do any drilling?

No drilling. Mounts to factory speaker holes. Comes with brackets to replace the OEM top speaker brackets.

Replaced the tiny button head screws with black oxide Thumb Screws on my window molle panels. So much easier. These molle panels have to be removed to take the top off as they wrap around the outside of the "roll bar". I really like the outbound design of these molle panels and with the thumb screws removal/reinstallation will be easy.
