J Brace - Dealer Quote

[Johnny 5]

Yes, it is the price for the set. $159 for the Raptor, $169 for the non-Raptor. Not many people get a topper put on from the dealer so we are lucky that whoever started the first thread about needing the j braces was someone who bought a topper from a dealer, maybe. I dont know how else anyone would have known, not even dealers. I'll bet their service guys are scratching there heads as well. Anyways, you can order them from the dealer's parts counter even though on the Ford Parts website it says "notify me when available." You have to pay up front. I had them put on my wife's and I ordered a set for me so they are here when my Rangers Raptor is delivered. Is it scheduled to be built the week of 9/30 so hopefully they'll be here in time because I want them on before I get it undercoated.

I just had my Australia sourced kit installed at my favorite Spokane body shop, no issues at all, they did not even fully remove the wheel liners, just folded back the front for access. 2 hours labor, $150 total, no additional charges except sales tax. Their rate is $75 per hours, the nearby clueless Ford dealer is $110.

The tech found two fuel vent hoses disconnected from the filler assembly and reconnected them. This seems to be a common problem.

Any Spokane area 2024 Ranger owner, feel free to contact them, they will be happy to help if you supply the complete kit, and let them work you in around their existing collision repair schedule. Don’t expect them to do this in winter when they are crazy busy fixing wrecked cars… this is a side source of income for them during slow periods.

The quality of their work and their customer service is stellar! Highly recommended.

Where did you get Australia sourced J-Braces and was there anything special to the process?

Found a set on eBay, looks like the company suggested in that thread. Now the wait begins again....
