“This is a really nice kit. I ordered it with the G1. There are only a couple things keeping it from a five star review: 1. Hardware: This is of good quality, however, the screws to hold the radio to the mount are SAE. I would prefer it to be metric like the rest of the Bronco. Also, they supply Torx bolts to mount the bracket while on the Bronco they are Torx Plus. 2. The antenna cable is way too long for the supplied mounting location so you need to get creative to avoid loops. A couple install notes: 1. The original passenger grab handle bolts are TP, not Torx. Use the proper bit. 2. The bolts at the mirror are TP25 and TP30, not Torx 25 as called out in the instructions. Again, use the proper driver. 3. If I were doing it again I would cut the connectors off both the antenna and power cables before passing through the firewall grommet. On a manual transmission Bronco this is definitely not fun, and would be much easier to route the cables. I would then be able to trim both to their proper lengths before crimping on new connectors. It would save time and result in a neater installation if this is in your skill set.”
