    You do need an adapter harness. @daveeasa makes some nice ones (FBC Harness Solutions).

    She says she really likes the white now. So don't think a wrap is needed.

    I've used the Meguiars as well with good results, but you need to coat it with something to prevent it from happening again. I've read good things about the Griot's Garage Ceramic kit and I saw that Meguiars also has a new spray to coat them after cleaning. I kind of want to try that.

    Wouldn’t say I’m a fanboy of the new Broncos, but I certainly don’t hate them.
    Saw this tastefully modded one today. Poor picture due to distance.

    They are like wranglers to me. In my opinion they don't look right unless lifted with larger tires. When stock they both look like they have skipped leg day.

    So true. It’s funny, as I was typing/posting I was thinking that same thing. And that my disposition on Wranglers (even the truck version) is similar to my take on the Bronco. I like the look, but have no burning desire to own one.

    I was behind a truck Wrangler yesterday that was very well done. Mild lift with easily 37-40s on ‘normal’ size wheels (think 16-18”). Very tastefully done. Lotsa meat, appropriate sized wheels. I vehemently despise the trend of super wide donk wheels on low pro mud terrains.

    It is appealing that they can fit a 35 in tire pretty much stock, which makes you wonder why anyone would keep the stock tires on. I'd love to own either in a built out form b/c they do look impressive. And are fairly capable rigs. But also like you don't have any real burning desire to actually own one that I'd have to pay for lol.

    My neighbor has one on the mtn not far from me. They look interesting, would I let my taco or 4runner go for one. Nope

    This is pretty much my thought on the new Tundra.

    I tried to start a restoration thing a couple of years ago and decided not to because the initial results were good but unless you coated them every time you washed your vehichle they quickly faded back. Also I've had really good luck with Marietta Toyota. I got a new bed mat delivered to the house about 2 years ago for like 89.00. I see people on FB asking more for a used one. They had free shipping at the time.

    Yep, this concept keeps being released in some fashion or another. Us poor inventor types always think we have gold, until you realize the idea has been out for a minute.

    I can take credit for coming up with the idea, without seeing one before. However, I did not come up with the first one apparently.

    That was a great day. Solid hour or 2 of brainstorming on here about marketing for your prototype. None of us were productive that day at work haha :rofl:

    In regards to the Bronco, I agree the 4 door just reminds me of the typical lifted Jeep we see all the time. However I do enjoy the 2 door since it reminds me of the old Broncos and I don't see as many 2 door lifted Jeeps. Will I ever own one? No, too expensive and too new for me (newest car I own is an '03 :rofl: )

    I drive my granpas Bronco weekly when I run errands for him, its a 87 that needs some major TLC in the front end and shocks, and its starting to see some surface rust through the paint but I really like the truck overall. Ive been considering buying it off him or alteast let him know of all his 20+ vehicles I like it the best.

    I used to drive an ‘87 Bronco Eddie Bauer edition in HS, back in the 90s.
    Mine was Black and Tan, and was bad as hell. Started my love for working on 4wds with that truck.
