Spent most of the weekend wiring, testing, and finishing. Only things left are remote start/ power door locks/ alarm and just power to the steps and door triggered dome lights. Then I need to make some sort of diagram for the fuses.

I can then make this nest of wires look pretty and attach it to the dash.

Compustar. They are the leader. I wanted an alarm, I also wanted door lock triggers. So the remote start was just a bonus, which in my area (almost canada) is useful.

Ya man, um....you NEED to send a picture of your bronco to "Javier" (PO).

And on the text line of the photo you should absolutely add:

"The Bronco turned out great! Only needed to put in about $1300 and the appraisal came back at over 6 figures! Thank you so much!"

Fuck that guy. Scammer, I hope someday he goes to jail, I wish I would have gotten a running and driving bronco. Doing this frame off was more of a project then I wanted:) Also learned that I am a perfectionist, which makes things expensive.

I can second that. I have one on my daily driver. Just make sure you get the 2 way remote. I also have the Drone Mobile module which allows you to start it with your phone and can do GPS tracking.

Duffy - did you end up reupholstering your rear seat? If so, do you have any of the after pics? Curious if you had them change it up at all?

Same basic pattern. Which is always cheaper for a shop to copy.

Finally got my switches to play nice with my usshift. If anyone wants a 4x4 low switch to light up let me know.

Dome and courtesy lights are done and fully functional with door triggers and also off the stock headlight switch. Pardon my dust. I need to clean.

How much light does your dome light put out? Do you see any need for having 2 of them (if you had the front hoop to the roll bar)? Or what about on the rear cross bar of the roll cage?

It's pretty bright. I have rear LED's but not on the cage. I would assume 1 is enough.

Huge day for the bronco. Dash in in and everything works! Now time to finish the heat and see if I can get the stereo all the way in. I think I zip tied a few things too tight. Also had to move all wiring out of the steering column mount. Still have some wires to clean up. But overall I am happy and I can see the light at the end.

Remote start
Alarm
Door lock triggers
Stereo
Amp
Dakota gauge
4r70w controller
Seat heaters
Power ports
Etc....
