Roll cage bolt size.

What’s holding you Element? Magnets?

Looks very functional. I'm using the same rubber mounts but a different location on my shovel. What's the Element?

Yes - 2 magnetic mounts hold the Element fire extinguisher. I have a strip of clear UHMW tape under the magnets to avoid any scratches to the roll bar paint.

Didn’t realize they sold those. I just found them online - thanks! Great idea with the tape too.

Since we are on the subject, does anybody know what the threaded dashboard hole sizes is?

Heck yeah, that worked out better then expected.

Thanks for the help y’all. Also used the left over bolt to fill the hard top holes for a more finished look.

Nice job & glad it all worked out.
May I suggest a short piece of pipe insulation for the ends of your tire iron to eliminate the clanking and prevent additional scuffs on the plastic trim…

It's a real shame the newer ones are coming without those threaded holes. As you found, they can be quite handy. You could always drill your own holes and install thread-serts, but I imagine a lot of people would cringe at the idea of drilling holes in their roll cage!

Thanks for the pro tip. The 4 way is hopefully not permanent but I’ve yet to find a better solution. I haven’t completely given up on not scuffing the plastic yet but it’s heading that direction.

Next thing to sort out is my high-lift if you have any solutions on that. Not having a roof, rack and cargo basket is taking some getting use to.

Interesting, mine's an October built base with a soft top. I wonder why the difference.

2drs have the hole in a different location

Yes your rear end looks quite a bit different than mine. I do like the looks and functionality of that location, I may have to trim off a few more inches on my highlift to make it fit but I will consider something like you’ve got going.

All 4-door Broncos built after 8/30/2021 should have the holes

Mine 2dr was built 7/9/21 and it has these 2 holes, instead of 4 and they are higher up than the 4dr

Ah you know I'm not sure about 2 doors. I should've mentioned 4-door. I edited my comment. The holes are there presumably because of the Raptor brace.

Wait, so it's the older ones that don't have the holes? I thought I had seen people receiving '22 models that didn't have them... ??
