Exactly what the title states - putting a thread together where we can come and post little tidbits of anything we have done today, and as we build them to our own tastes.

Put my steps on

IMG_0753.jpeg

I put the same steps on months after I got my Green Diamond. Unfortunately the coating was coming off and they were rusting bad. But kudos to IAG. I reached out to them and sent pics, and within a matter of days I had replacement steps and a return label. I must admit, the finish on my new ones definitely feels better and has a more aggressive grit to it.

I hope the new steps hold up. It's not the first time I've heard about IAG products having compromised finishes. Maybe you just got a bad batch. I'm glad they stepped up and offered replacements. Crossing fingers for you. 😉

I received my IAG full length steps damaged in shipping, twice. A couple of areas had the powder coating chip off. Worked out a satisfactory deal where I received a jumbo can of rustoleum truck bed spray liner. Coated both steps twice and I am glad to report that after more than two years, these are holding up fantastic.

My Boring B went on it's first longggg road trip to North Myrtle Beach. Handled well. I don't think I've ever seen so many B's since owning mine.

Installed ASFIR cross member skids

5/32 aluminum and it’s stout!! Easy install. Tip 1: dont do it while bronco is hot (right under headers). Tip 2: make sure washer is lined up on top and don’t drop the nut because it will now forever reside inside of the drivers side arm. 🤣🤣🤷🏼‍♂️

Enabled Starter interrupt via Perimeter Plus alarm. Didn’t realize it is an added feature beside the shock sensor.
Not sure how one turns the ignition on a keyless push button, but semantics.

Awesome! The only concern I’ve noticed was from those who regretted not adding the crossmember skid plates to their Broncos sooner than they did. 🤓

Aluminum? At least for my 24 WT, their website says, "Manufactured from high-quality, laser-cut 1/8" (3.17 mm) steel for superior strength and durability."

Is this just a model difference? Or is there an aluminum version?

ASFIR cross member skids... these are after market skids. you are referring to the stock Ford skids.

Maybe I’m wrong. But why would they make raw steel parts for underneath a vehicle? Unless they’re made from stainless steel??? But they clearly are thicker than 1/8”. They were right at 5/32. Actually a hair past but who’s counting in 1/64th

All their other skid pieces are aluminum.
