I don’t think Costco carries them anymore, but Amazon does:

I can put together installation instructions and update my post in the next few days with a part list etc.

Ordered and received from Amazon. How did you attach it? Thanks!

I drove up to a spot I’ve been meaning to check out about 25 minutes from my house.

Yesterday I did a thing and installed a winch. Today I trimmed the plastic that surrounds the recovery points. What a PITA that was. Overall I’m really happy with the Rough Country mounting kit.

I saw that winch mount this week and love how high and tight it is. If I can find a mod bumper takeoff to buy, I plan on doing the same thing.

Built a new mount for my recovery boards. Now I just need a stop for the tailgate so it doesn’t swing into the tail light.

Had them strapped to the back of the spare before which worked great except for the sail they created at 80mph. Didn’t come loose but I could feel them. This should be a lot more aerodynamic.

Installed the K&N charge pipe kit, Whipple intercooler, and the Foutz Motorsports rear differential skid/glide plate

Added an engine cover from the Ranger.

Be careful with overheating

Yesterday was a perfect day for a kayak ride

Not quite today, but Saturday got a little wheeling time in with a few other Broncos.

13psi air down, doing what it was meant to do.

This was fun.

My biggest fear. My one complaint about bronco is that mirrors don't fold fwd. I have about an inch clearance on either side. Been using crawl gear to park

I did the same thing with my 88, but the mirror didn't break because 1 they were metal, 2 they bent fwd

For mirror replacement check out suma

Did the stalk break?

They do fold forward and backwards.

On board air up/down kit including the spare. Just plug in and drink beer. It does the rest . When it beeps you’re done! Fun project. And it fit!

The arb twin feeds a 3 gallon air tank underneath. That tank feeds the air up/down controller which feeds the manifold above it. The air tank also runs to a arb remote kit on the rear bumper @ 150 psi. Then I have a plug in regulator to hook to that to run air tools @ 90 psi. Hoses stored behind the drivers seat. So around 7 minutes from hoses out to 15 psi.

Just 1 more 4’ hose for the spare and this projects done.

4:44 35 to 15 psi
5:24 15 to 35 psi

Looks great!

Can you please post details on the air tank underneath, along with some photos?

Thanks In advance.

Installed the Mabbet seat back covers for the cargo area - 5 minutes.

Getting the dog hair off first from last weekend's outing - 30 minutes!

Our 90lb yellow lab is the sweetest dog ever, but I thenk she is around 82lb of hair!

Installed the Oracle illuminated grille letters on my RTR grille. Due to the RTR emblem & front facing camera, I didn’t have the space for ‘BRONCO’ so I opted for ‘FORD’ instead.

The wiring was easy, it the alignment was tediously challenging. Aesthetically, it came out better than I thought; long term success is solely based on how strong the adhesive is

Mounted a battery powered led telescoping ‘Cascade’ lantern in the ‘Accessory Ready’ niche over the rear crossbar above the cargo area (4 door). Fits perfectly and throws a good amount of light. I’ll remove the Diffusion Dome for everyday use to avoid obstructing the rear view.

Cargo ‘Accessory Ready’ Cascade LED Lantern Installation Instructions

• Remove the screw-on cap from the lantern and then have a beer
• Pop out the foam gap spacer plate insert from inside the screw-on cap with an x-small flat head screwdriver (the foam gap spacer is not glued, just wedged up in there real good)
• Drill a ¼” hole into the screw-on cap, ¾” from the edge (hole will be slightly OFFCENTERED)
• From the top of the crossbar drop in your Joint Connector Nut with the 7/8” neoprene washer attached (to protect the paint). You don’t have to remove the MIC hardtop to install (if applicable), simply push up slightly on the MIC hardtop above the ‘Accessory Ready’ hole
• Place the 1 ¼” rubber washer between the cap and the ‘Accessory Ready’ plastic trim
• Install your 3/8” machine screw up through the bottom of the cap and 1 ¼” rubber washer into the Joint Connector Nut

TIP: Hold the Joint Connector Nut with your finger (you can also use a 3/16” Hex wrench if no restrictions from the top) to tighten the screw

• Reinstall the foam gap spacer plate insert into the screw-on cap
• Reassemble the lantern and then have another beer while you play with the different settings!
