Thank you, I didn’t know about not needing the harness. Enjoy the Bronco in the mud, sounds fun.

Hi, thanks. The rear is easier in my opinion. Here is the install video. Now I attached it to the roll bar looking out the rear window so when I take the top off the camera stays. In the video I attached the camera with the double sided d tap. It only stayed for 2 days. I ended up using some Gorilla glue hot glue and it’s been on for over a year. Any questions please let me know. Adding a Dash Cam to a Ford Bronco, part 2. th-cam.com/video/fJE3qx7MTgg/w-d-xo.html

@@fredsgarage1925 Sweet thanx watching now!

Your so right, I could smell it in the street.

Never during a flood

​@@fredsgarage1925Who says?

It would be nice with a few marshmallows in a cold night. 😀

Yes, EV’s need time to iron out the bugs.

Yes, that’s the way to do it., too many electronics in new vehicles.

Did they really though? There's a reason he bought Twitter that nobody talks about

@@shimes424 I mean yes they did? They cut corners with basic things like panel gaps, but battery tech is somewhere they've made a bunch of gains. Safety was something they figured out ages ago. Yes they still catch fire sometimes, just like petrol vehicles do. Both need to store a ton of energy somewhere they can pull out tons at a moments notice - so there's always the possibility that batteries and fuel can end up in a runaway reaction. Musk bought Twitter because he's insane at a minimum. Just because there's something wrong with him doesn't mean that Tesla and SpaceX in particular are invalidated.

Take a look at my latest short. Tesla has the same issue with salt water

I totally agree, the Government should not be forcing us to make our own purchases.

I really like the look of it, it would be perfect with a LS engine in it.

Sounds good, just don’t want it parked in my garage under my bedroom.

@@fredsgarage1925 the electric car isnt the problem- the power source is ! Help us fix it rather than be an asshole about it.

I’m sure the owner of the Hummer is happy to hear that. He had 3 cars in his garage. The fire department pulled out the Hummer and his model Y. Out of the garage, they left the gas powered convertible in the garage. All 3 were surrounded by 3 -4 ft of seawater due to the hurricane we just had.

@@fredsgarage1925 All I know is my gasoline car burnt my whole house down. Now I know you seen as many times as I have cars burning on the side of the road and the on fire all types of stuff. Everything has a chance of catching on fire

The argument is, if you live somewhere where the EV can come in contact with salt water there is a very high change of the EV self igniting. We just had a Hurricane and everything was flooded with 3-4 ft of sea water. The county fire department sent out a text to inform them if you owned a EV because they were catching fire all over. I’m not anti EV, u just would not want it in my garage.

@@fredsgarage1925 thanks for responding and I can see your point. The one good thing about any technology whether it's ICE or EV, is that they do improve, this is just the early stage. So it will only get better. Look at the first cars and how slow they are but now cars can go to 200mph and have safety features where you'll see people surviving some high speed accidents. So if the technology is pretty solid now it's safe to say it will improve and get better and in turn become more safe as well. I'm sure they're going to solve for that problem as no one wants their customers cars to explode in their garages! :) To add a last example, propane has an expansion ratio of around 270 to 1 if I recall and people cook and light their houses with it. Will there be accidents? Yes. But is it safe enough for a majority of people to use without incident also yes. Anyway thanks for the measured response, I have a lot of respect for you for that! :)

@@damagesxyes, your 100% correct. I think if airplanes. The first ones must of been so scary, now it’s the safest way to travel. Hey, have a great day. Thanks for the comment.

Even golf carts are catching on fire. Definitely don’t want a EV in a garage. Keep it outside.

It was surrounded by 4 feet of seawater. The owners where sleeping and onstar called them at 12:50 and told them to get out of the house. They has to wade over to the neighbors house. 10 minutes later the truck had an explosion and destroyed the garage and blew out the upper windows. The only thing that saved them was that it was surrounded with seawater. The fire department showed up after the water receded and pulled it out into the driveway. If you look at the whole linked video you can zoom in and see the garage damage.

The owner was there and was ok with it.

I want a nice simple classic truck, I’m with you.

Yup, that hummers battery is like the biggest one made. They were just luck it was under 4 ft of water when it went off.

@@fredsgarage1925what would happen if it was under water?

@@redrum6011 luckily it was under 4 ft of seawater due to the hurricane. The water caused the fire but it also probably saved the house from burning down.

One of the many reasons why EV's will never truly go anywhere, that and we are already running out of lithium just under a decade from the start of their mass manufacture.

@@fredsgarage1925so it didn’t happen just randomly, it had a hurricane as a reason? Yeh totally would blame EVs for that xD

Thanks, just a heads up. My rear camera only stuck on for 2 days with the double sided tape. So I used gorilla hot glue stick, I add some painters tape over the rear camera overnight to let the glue cure, then remove the tape. It’s been on for a year or so with no issues. Also the glue looks like it would peel off fairly easy if I ever wanted to. Good luck.

Yes, I 100% agree. EV should come with a notification that if it comes in contact it might explode.

The EV and salt water don’t mix well and the news doesn’t let the population know.

All EV’s have problems

@iroc-z6668 yup, EV’s are being pushed to fast on people.

Gm is known to have issues with all their new vehicles but don't worry if they get in financial trouble again the government will bail them out with our tax dollars

Nothing to do with GM. It's all EVs. Remember that cargo ship that went down full of VW Auto Group cars? All those Porsches and Audis BURNING at the bottom of the ocean

The problem is that a lot of people don’t live here and don’t take precautions prior to returning to their homes. That should happen is. Prior to leaving, the lift needs to be raised as high as possible and the boat needs to be tied to the lift.

That’s my they need a 🙏. Thanks

Whoa!! I had no idea about the ocean salt water and batteries. But you make a huge point about the salt on the roads and that is frightening!!!

Yup, I think the battery packs need to be placed somewhere in the vehicle where it doesn’t come in contact with the road conditions. They should think of the battery packs like a radio that almost never gets wet. The only issue is how heavy they are.

@@fredsgarage1925 Considering some cars have structural carpet and seats, there is no escaping the salt.

We should always have the choice of what we want to drive.

Yes

Yes, it’s definitely a salt water issue. If I didn’t live by the ocean I would love a Hummer Eav. I really like the looks.

Doesn't like 90% of the world population live near the ocean?

Thanks you, already had to report to work. 😀

I’m so glad to hear that you guys are OK. I got so lucky, the water came up to 1 inch from my pool deck. The only damage I received was 1 piece of my siding blew off and a lot of hedge damage. I’m so lucky that my house was built on a mound.

Yes, the salt water gets into the battery pack, that causes the battery to short out and it starts a fire.

@fredsgarage1925 oh God that's wild. Today I learned something new

Glad it helped, I have had mine one for probably a years with no issues. It’s definitely a lot heavier than the plastic one. My next job is a gas tank skid plate. Hey, have a great day.

Glad it helped I have mine for almost 1 1/2 years and it’s still alive or is great.

That is great, that’s what we need.

Solar windows, and hanks I’ll have to check that out. The biggest benefit is that I can keep my phone on the dash without it getting overheated.

Thanks, I still only have the reverse, cargo and third brake lights as LEDs. Hey, have a great day.

I felt so bad for him, it ended costing $1300. The crazy part was, when he Brock the rear glass, I was at the ford dealer having my Bronco’s rear glass replaced. Hey, have a great day.

Hello, under 40mph there is nothing, once I hit 45MPH there is a humming noise. It’s not that bad but I can hear it. I am going to experiment with adding some u channel weather stripping to the bottom on the front air dam to see if that stops the hum. I think it’s caused by that 1 inch of space below the front. I don’t think that there is going to be any rack without some noise. But I toss my paddle-board on that rack all the time so I have to live with the noise. Hope this helped, good luck with your choice.

In my opinion these are the best, they are build extremely solid, they look great. I haven hit ant rocks with them, but I would have 100% confidence in them protecting my Bronco. Good luck in your decision.

Hello, I love my lighted I have had them on form5 and on6 months. I don’t go through the car wash but I live in Florida which gets sun almost daily. It’s a tough decision, a lot of people just stay Lucien the back. Good luck in what ever you decide.

Thank you, glade I can help.

Sorry y hear that. I have had my hybrid for 1 1/2 years with out one single issue. I actually really love this little truck as my daily driver.

Thank you. Glade the videos can help.

I love mine, I’ve had it 1 1/2 years. Not 1 issues and it just fits my life perfectly. The money I save on gas basically pay for the Maverick. Hey, thanks for the comment and have a great day.

I got it at Home Depot, it’s the Anvil 16 in. Plastic Portable Tool Box with Metal Latch (1.6 mm) in Black. It’s about $12 bucks. Fits perfectly.

Thanks, I’m so glad that I changed it out. My kids use it every day.. now someone a few comments back told me that this amazon plug will plug into the socket connection, it would make the wiring easier, but I did not personally use it. If you do let me know how it works out. Thanks amzn.to/3XkSeU0

Any time, you are going to love them. They look great and give you side protection. Hey, have a great weekend.

Thank you, I feel that if I’m going to make a video I don’t want to skip parts that people will need to know. But my video are pretty long. Hey have a great weekend.

Thanks you.
