If they did 60/40, it's important that the 40 be on the driver side IMO. Want to keep my driver seat pushed back so I fit in the truck. "Midgate would be great" - this former Avalanche owner. Yes to electric or phev!
@fredsgarage192512 сағат бұрын
Yes, definitely the 60 on the passenger side, mid gate would be the way to go. I heard that they showed their dealerships a small van based in n the Maverick chassis. I would love a plug-in hybrid, AWD with a built in pro- power. That would make a killer let adventure vehicle.

Just bought a 25 xl the fact that it came with a real key instead of push button was one of the reasons i picked it over the xlt. Maybe make it an option, but not standard equipment.

I was the same, I got both my Bronco and Maverick 3 months apart. The Bronco was my first vehicle with a push start. After 1 1/2 years. I personally have to say I like the push button better. I don’t know I just prefer keeping the remote in my pocket and not having it dangling, scratching, making noise from the other keys clanging each other. I don’t know, I just got use to it. By 2028 who knows what they will come up with. Hey, have a great day

It’s so important to be able to option in the items that you want, and not the ones that dealers packages in to make money. this way you can get exactly what you want, keep the cost that you want.

Fred: How about an auto dimming rear mirror? I have a 24 Lariat and there is not an option from the factory. I see you don't have a tailgate strut and so add that to the list. I thought in earlier videos you installed one?

No, I installed hood struts, which I didn’t like so I removed. I kept hitting my forehead on the hood because the struts made the hood 6 inches low . I know the self dimming mirror with Home link is a must, but then I’d make the video like 35 minutes long.

I'm partially through with my dashcam installation. Could you provide links for the wire pull tool and the wire tie cincher and trimmer that you used? Also, my Bronco is a two-door, so the trim in the back is a little different. The trim over the side glass is all one piece, whereas I noticed you were dealing with a couple of pieces. The rear trim is a little trickier to remove because the last retainer is beside the speaker, where it's really tight. It takes a little tugging to remove the trim. Just wanted to let any two-door owners know.

@@fredsgarage1925 Likewise, sir. And thank you for the links! I also agree with your decision to pass the wire for the rear camera back along the passenger side. That gap along the windshield trim will only accommodate one wire. Two would be pushing it, and more than likely, one wire would drop out. All in all, the installation went well. I just have to button up a couple of things. I used a few clips to ensure the wires would stay clear of hardware and trim pins. I also purchased a set of wire clips from Thinkware that are for areas where the wires are visible. One last thing, I drilled a small hole in the plastic trim over the rear roll bar to pass the wire through to the rear camera, which I mounted on the rear glass. I plan on unplugging the rear camera and stowing the wire (using one of the Thinkware wire clips) when it's not in use. Here are links to these products: www.amazon.com/dp/B01HR9VS4I?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title AND thinkwarestore.com/product/adhesive-cable-clips-us/ (The Thinkware clips are pretty expensive compared to the other clips, but I like that they're smaller and more streamlined.) Probably overkill, but I've never had any problem spending money on my Bronco! LOL

Thanks for this video Fred. Seems to be a bit of conflicting info on wiring colors out there. I'm happy to say, your info is spot on! Lights work perfectly and install went very well. Couple of notes.... My lights came with a1/4" foam backing around the edges, I presume to head of water infiltration. I covered the cable with flex insulation as an added layer of protection. I did cut the tape back surrounding the headlight wiring, and placed the splicer back away from the plug, just in case things go south later, to leave something to work with, rather than having to replace the entire headlamp plug.

Hello, I know that any set of fog lights that would fit the factory modular bumper would work, it would also be easier for you since you already have the fog light wiring. If you want to fit your factory fog lights from the old bumper you would have to 1) figure out a bracket. ( some sort of angle iron would work ) 2) figure out the width of the fog lights. If you want to measure your fog lights and comment me back with the size, I’ll see if the opening has enough space. I have had that bumper for a while here in Florida and it’s held up well.
