I'm planning on doing this rack swap and light setup today or tomorrow, what was your strategy for running the wiring for the lights? I thought about going straight to the front, and down the A-pillar, but I also run dual spare batteries behind my passenger seat for camping and off-roading to power a fridge and other accessories, so as to not drain my primary battery, this would then let me have the switch be mounted in the rail beside the light, one for each side
What would be your thoughts as someone who's done the install, about drilling a hole in the roof beside the existing mounting holes to run a cable down the B pillar, and to just RTV silicone up the hole afterwards. how much room is there after the rails are in to get a wire in beside?

There is plenty of space under the mount locations to run the wires, in fact the JCR rack doesn't use all the factory holes so you can route through those instead of drilling new holes. For my car I ran them through A pillars, saw a video of how to pop them off and it was easy enough.

I have a solar panel routed through the rear hatch, it just follows the weather stripping down a into the the trunk through a bitch I cut under the weather stripping.

You weren't kidding when you said the installation wasn't easy, managed to get it done at right around the 5-hour mark with 2 people. I used one of the free holes right above where the OhSh*t bars were in the rear seats to run the wiring for the lights. They hadn't arrived with the rack as I had hoped so I figured setting up the wiring with the rack would prevent having to drop the headliner twice.
Only tricky part about that was avoiding running the wires in a position that would interfere with the airbag, which the photos were taken before I moved them.
Only weird thing I can see right now, is that the base part of the antenna is sitting higher than the top of the back cross-rail, not too sure about how that will work yet.

Good & hot today, so I installed the lift gate lettering covers. Still undecided about the front grill lettering, though. Not sure black is the way to go there. Considering a color change for those letters to Area 51. ?

Had it towed to the dealer cos it totally died on me! Just had the PCM Programming recall done 10 days ago.
Probably that recall was for the drain tube install with PCM Programming

Now you can do the software only recall BCM Programming, PCM Programming for
Campaign/NHTSA# 24S24/24V267
Issue Date: 2024-04-12
Description: On your vehicle, the body control module BCM and powertrain control module PCM calibrations may be unable to detect a sudden change in the 12-VOLT battery state of charge during a drive cycle.

I wonder how many people noticed the Easter egg Broncos on the flange?
Just noticed the one on the rear glass the other day when looking in the rear view - and never these three. :cool:

Did try 255/75R17 it’s fit but not perfectly it’s only 2mm gap while turning, it’s not a good thing in wintertime in snow and ice,

so i will go for 255/70R17 in Goodyear wrangler tires

Bronco Sport aka "Spark Plug"
the Kongs almost made it to the obit section of the paper
cruising steady 5-7 mph above speed limit
check mirrors
report nutter at 6 o'clock
start 1/3 mile uphill incline
halfway up nutter makes the move on a double yellow
incoming traffic forced off the roadway
Kongs forced off roadway
so what did I do to my bronco today
strong prayer and invocations for intercession and protection of occupants
concluded with gratitude
