Thanks! That’s a really hard question to answer because there are so many variables. But when the fridge is on, it pulls between 50-60wHrs so how long a battery will last is very dependent on how often the compression kicks on and for how long. Ambient outside temperature, how much you have in the fridge, and the temps you set it all all impact how often the compressor kicks on. Hope that helps

I'm active Navy for 9 years now and just found your channel. Saw this video mentioned through another comment and had to check it out. I'm glad I did because mentally I'm struggling pretty bad. From hard pushing chain of commands that just don't care to the excessive workload that doesn't end. Was an avid speed guy so been through a ton of sport cars but decided that hobby honestly isn't in the best of my interest after years. So, I traded in my type R for a Ranger and decided to start getting back into going into the outdoors again. Some of the best times I've ever had were going on roads trips with my best friend and stopping to see the random places along the way. I'm rambling but your videos that I've gone through so far have helped quite a bit and I just want to say thank you for sharing your experience openly man. Makes me feel less alone.

Nice looking bumper, I thought about going with that one but ended up going with the Fab Fours Premium Winch Bumper as it seemed more streamline to me. I also had to move the ACC and didn't like the performance using the most common relocation bracket out there that moved it to the upper driver's side of the grill, it didn't work consistently. I ended up making my own bracket moving it towards the center lower part of the grill and it works perfectly. Looking forward to seeing what lift kit you end up going with.

Great install, I installed the exact same bumper as a solo install myself, but I went with the Warn Zeno 12-S and Rigid Amber fogs, love my bumper. I did the ACC Relocation bracket which was a bigger pain for me than the bumper. Was not happy in cutting the shutters behind the grill option. And I also had a issues with my parking sensors because I damaged a few of them when taking them out, I ordered some new ones and works except for the two middle sensors, in Texas we have to have a front license plate and the sensors are detecting the backside of my plate. So for now I took it off till I can flip the license plate bracket upside down so the plate will sit lower than the sensors and should fix my issue.
@LatinoComedian5 күн бұрын
So the ACC sensor is pretty hidden? This bumper/winch is probably the best I've seen but the relocation of front cameras, ACC sensors, and parking sensors gives me heartaches.
@TexaSteven5 күн бұрын
@@LatinoComedian true my front camera is total garbage right now till I get the relocation bracket to move it to the front of the winch which sits right on top of the fairlead, which what pics I’ve seen I don’t like the way it looks, kind of looks like a weird alien eye at the front of your bronco. Consider moving it to the bullbar and just cut a hole big enough for it to fit and wire the harness down into the tube out the bottom.. that’s if it is even possible. As for the ACC relocation bracket I used one by Turn Off-road and it took longer to install than the bumper, mine works about 95% of the time, occasionally I’ll be doing 75 on the toll road and I’ll be coming up on someone and it’s like are you going to ram them and I’ll have to tap on the brakes, but most of the time it will slow down and match their speed. So I trust it but trust it with my foot hovering over the brake.
@OFFTHEGRIND5 күн бұрын
I almost went with rigid fogs. They fill the fog pocket really well. But yeah the parking sensors are a pain. Honestly I want to just disable them cause I hate them anyways. The ACC is something I love though. Still haven’t got it relocated but I will. Someone else said they had to get their ACC and parking sensors recalibrated and then it worked great
@TexaSteven5 күн бұрын
@@OFFTHEGRIND I’ll have to check out about getting them recalibrated and see if that helps. And I was mistaken, I only damaged the plastic housing that the sensors fit in, so I ordered some new housing for the sensors, my issue was because they were damaged the sensors were facing down in a angle towards the road making my system thinking I was about to have a wreck. Can’t wait to see you do more mods on your Bronco. This past weekend I just installed the new KC Titan lightbar along with the Auxbeam switch panel due to that KC’s new lightbar is to powerful for the factory Aux switches. Love it so far, but definitely some whistling noise but I can live with it. Do you have a Gram account?

Looks good, and that was waaaaaaay easier to install than my arb summit bumper :) And doing a lot of solo overlanding/rockcrawling myself.. the winch is a nice bit of security. I've been wondering when you'd get around to the suspension... looking forward to the video. Parking sensors.. mine have been a bit temperamental after my bumper installs as well. You probably already know this, but they're orientation sensitive .. like the plug ends need to be facing inward I believe (so the two driver side pointing to the passenger side and two passenger side pointing to the driver side).. and that isn't in all of the instructions. And even when you have them generally pointed the right way, there's some wiggle room to get it right. Even so.. still fiddling with the sensors whenever it annoys me enough.

Consider moving it to the bullbar and just cut a hole big enough for it to fit and wire the harness down into the tube out the bottom.. that’s if it is even possible. As for the ACC relocation bracket I used one by Turn Off-road and it took longer to install than the bumper, mine works about 95% of the time, occasionally I’ll be doing 75 on the toll road and I’ll be coming up on someone and it’s like are you going to ram them and I’ll have to tap on the brakes, but most of the time it will slow down and match their speed. So I trust it but trust it with my foot hovering over the brake.
I almost went with rigid fogs. They fill the fog pocket really well. But yeah the parking sensors are a pain. Honestly I want to just disable them cause I hate them anyways. The ACC is something I love though. Still haven’t got it relocated but I will. Someone else said they had to get their ACC and parking sensors recalibrated and then it worked great
@@OFFTHEGRIND I’ll have to check out about getting them recalibrated and see if that helps. And I was mistaken, I only damaged the plastic housing that the sensors fit in, so I ordered some new housing for the sensors, my issue was because they were damaged the sensors were facing down in a angle towards the road making my system thinking I was about to have a wreck. Can’t wait to see you do more mods on your Bronco. This past weekend I just installed the new KC Titan lightbar along with the Auxbeam switch panel due to that KC’s new lightbar is to powerful for the factory Aux switches. Love it so far, but definitely some whistling noise but I can live with it. Do you have a Gram account?
Really like your channel bro. I’m glad I stumbled upon it. Liked and subscribed 6 videos ago. How many miles are on you Bronco now?
Thanks man! There are 33k miles on it now
Looks good!
I like that bumper. I am at the suspension and tire stage on my Bronco, too. What did you decide to do? I had to get the tailgate tire carrier from Smittybilt. They have the strongest setup out there. You're gonna want to do that. Hurry though, they are discontinuing it. If you have trouble finding one, let me know, and I can help. I am going with Mickey Thompson MTs and the Falcon coilovers. I look forward to seeing what you're doing.
I already have reinforced the tailgate hinges with a havoc off-road hinge kit so it’s ready for 37s! And I’ll be running dobinsons suspension
When I added a winch, and moved the sensors, I had to take it to the dealer to have it recalibrate. I thought the same as you that I had damaged or done something wrong. But just a recalibration. I would wait until you move the radar head. Get it all done at once.
That’s good to know. I’ll plan on doing the same
Dude great install but get rid of the hook and the little red flag, get a factor 55 hook and reel it all the way in leaving a foot of rope to the sun and environment is just for show. Enjoy your post!
Thanks! I like it a lot. I said in the video that I have an ultra hook on its way though. Definitely not trying to run the hook long term
Did you get any money from warn
Nope. All out of my pocket
Heck yeah awesome choice!
Looks good, and that was waaaaaaay easier to install than my arb summit bumper :) And doing a lot of solo overlanding/rockcrawling myself.. the winch is a nice bit of security. I've been wondering when you'd get around to the suspension... looking forward to the video. Parking sensors.. mine have been a bit temperamental after my bumper installs as well. You probably already know this, but they're orientation sensitive .. like the plug ends need to be facing inward I believe (so the two driver side pointing to the passenger side and two passenger side pointing to the driver side).. and that isn't in all of the instructions. And even when you have them generally pointed the right way, there's some wiggle room to get it right. Even so.. still fiddling with the sensors whenever it annoys me enough.
I’ve actually tried changes the orientation of the problem sensor and it hasn’t worked. I think it needs to be calibrated. Which is pretty annoying but it is what it is
Glad you're able do this full time. Just retired and hoping to be able to video my adventures soon. Keep up the good work.
Kudos to Ford for at least installing a solid front bumper
The factory steel bumper is actually really nice. I liked it a lot
Which model warn winch did you get? I like the compact size of it
It’s the VR evo 10s
@@OFFTHEGRIND thank you I was wondering what model winch it was, I want to get one for my bronco
Great video, I bought a fab fours (same company as Warn) bumper for the Tundra and happy with it as well. The Bronco really looks good. You know this, but recheck those torques after a few hundred miles. Like you, I am doing a suspension upgrade this week. I just ordered the Ironman4x4 suspension. I really like the "what to do" and "what not to do" in videos, I suspect a lot of people go back and redo because we failed to read the directions......
Thanks man. Yeah warn bought Fab Four like last year I think right? Maybe longer ago but it was still pretty recent. I’ve heard a lot of good about the Ironman kits. I’m sure you’ll love it!
I hope you installed a battery isolater. Looks great. ( its 180lbs minus your old bumper).
I did not. Quite honestly have never heard of it. Is it supposed to protect your battery and accessories from power surges from the winch?
David it's a simple on off switch ( available on Amazon). The winch will wire into switch then to battery. Right now you have a live 12 volt source at the winch in a front end accident would most likely short out causing a short and possible fire.
Its on crooked, also get a Factory 55 hook. Nice bumper tho
Yeah I had to go back and fix it. Was on a time crunch to pick up my son lol. And the hook is already on the way
