With special thanks to @Michael Grasso and the skilled use of the laser, I installed my glorious B pillars.
Oh, and the doors came off until October, unless we get a Hurricane or something crazy between now and then.

Lol was so excited, I forgot to say what I did to my Bronco :) Nothing special, but added the rubber seat protection to the back of my seats that match the cargo one. Looks better than I thought it would.

Not very exciting but I got to hear it. Moved it a foot so I could get attic ladder down.

Installed the Raptor tailgate reinforcement to eliminate clicking noises when driving over bumps.

I love this. It looks way cleaner than the aftermarket options. Any chance you could post how you did this? (ie. Part numbers, any trimming, etc.)

Initially I planned to install the IAG tailgate reinforcement but tired of waiting for it to be released. I didn't like any other aftermarket option for the very same reason you mentioned.

I paid a body shop for paint job and installation – I didn't want to deal with alignment. When installing the reinforcement plate, I had to trim the lower right corner of the spare tire mount. The Bronco emblem needed to be removed and relocated closer to the right edge of the gate.

Wish the Broncos came with it from the factory. The swing gate is not sturdy enough for the Sas wheels – mine started to rattle after 2k miles. The Raptor hinges and plate completely fixed that issue. No regrets for spending $1k on this modification.

These are the parts you're going to need for this project:

Part NumberDescription
N2DZ-7826800-A
HINGE ASSY, UPPER
N2DZ-7826900-AHINGE ASSY, LOWER
W721479-S300Rubber stops for inner tailgate assy (x2)
W718426-S450Bolts that mount the reinforcement to the tailgate hinges
W721746-S450BBolts that mount the hinge straps to the tailgate panel (x4)

Installed the JCR tailgate table. Simple install except for the table insert with the 3-tabs that takes the patience of Job. Pro tip take a screwdriver and "widen the slots a little and it will drop right in.

Took the idea from @The_Axeman and made a window vent for sleeping in the Bronco. Total cost about $20 for a section of gutter guard, paint, super glue, and a roll of mesh screen. 👌

Also ordered the @deepsleep Overland leveling mat so I can lower the seats and have a level surface for my sleeping pad. Excited to get out and camp without having to set up a tent!

Added the Cactus Gray StickerFab decals to the dash and grille, though it is hard to tell there is any color.

This looks a lot more "finished" that just the all-gray dash:
