Sorry for being a bit confused.... For some reason I thought you were saying the top screw.... I do not have those rock rails.... I went aftermarket. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻🔧🧰🚿🛠
Well today my Factor 55 Ultrahook arrived, and I got the guard on. Also, my DV8 tire carrier arrived. So I have some work to do. Will probably get it going tomorrow.

No photos as I don't live with my cell always recording, but the Bronco is sitting blocking the main road into the company I work for's main campus. There are several inches of water overwashing the road and the cops are blocking off more major streets. My poor footies are wet. lol

I installed mine today with no fuss.
I drilled a pilot hole for the top screw.
Having the right tools is 90% of the battle.

Finally got JRC slider/steps installed
IAG full length EZ-Steps, installed!
Every fastener received a dab of antiseize, and I followed the example of @BroncoAZ and used stainless washers and rubber plumbing washers to stop the set screws digging into the rock rails. As usual, I'm making things more difficult for myself (for marginal gains), but happy with the results.
Now the shorter relatives can complain about bonking their heads on the roof while getting in.

MRT ?? I have MRT and I have zero issues. I also have an ADV hood and MRT was one of the two (Steeda was the other) that would actually work.

Since I was missing two bolts from the factory I went with the Rockworkx toolless kit.
Why are hood struts a thing? What am I missing? It's not like lifting the hood manually is an exertion. Do you guys pop it open once an hour to make sure the engine is still there?

Got a wild hair up my ass and decided to go rambling for a few days on a whim. Today, I found myself on some open road between two different indian reservations and didnt see another car or person for almost two hours, nearly 140 miles. Open highway at 65mph with not one other car on the entire strip of road in either direction! Im happy to report there are still empty stretches of blacktop to be found.
Enjoy the journey. God Bless America!
