After 11 years, the Ole Girls gettin some much deserved love and I’m psyched about it!!
The only problem is I keep adding more to the list than just Paint!
I’m looking to swap out the Bumpers. After seeing the front and rear naked, I kinda want to keep with the clean look. So out with the PreRunners and in with something else....I just don’t know what the “else” is yet. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Anyway here is the progress after a couple of days tearing parts off.
I’ll post progress as it moves along

That looks pretty good already.

Yellow seems to be the money color. Maybe you will get the next commercial.....

It looked good from a distance but the paint was rough...but served me well!

I'm gonna leave the Yellow to Randy....you know how those celebrities get;D

Want to trade front bumpers? Haha

Good luck with the rebuild, mine will be getting redone in the near future as well.

Are you going with the same color or changing it? Are you keeping the body on the frame? You said you wanted a clean look with the bumpers I know some of the plate bumpers look good. Ballie, Wild Horses, all the vendors have nice plate bumpers that are clean.

I’m not doing a frame off but if I didn’t have a paint date of next week, I’d consider it. All the bolt on stuff comes off, grill, fenders, doors, hood and Tailgate. I have a “Bronco Life Coach” lol who will be named eventually, who has really helped me out with ideas, Design and clean lines so hopefully it’ll all come together like it should.
Color has been the worst part but I’ve decided on Brittany Blue. I really love the Maxlider 4 door Bronco and that’s definitely inspired my exterior style. I like the James Duff low profile winch bumper but my winch is definitely too big and will be on the classified with a lot of other things.

Here’s just a little more progress....and a pic of the inspiration Maxlider Truck

I think Wild Horses made it back in the early 2000s. It came with the Bronco when I started the project back in 05 .

Thought so......It's one from Cheyenne Bumpers. WH did sell them back some time ago. Late 90's? Don't think they're in business anymore.......I wanted a set front and rear but didn't have the funds back then.

Nice looking I think they are.....

A little progress and a little set back. Got everything torn down as far as I’m going to go with it and pressure washed everything. I decided to chase some leaks down and had a feeling my transfer case was pissing fluid out the breather due to it being soaked....I pulled the D20 fill plug....at this moment most smart people would’ve put a pan down.....anyway, GUSHHH! Half a gallon of tranny fluid came gushing out all over me, my face and floor! Excellent times! lol! I overnighted the seals from WH and off to the tranny Shop tomorrow, $300- I thought that was a DEAL!
I also decided to scrap my rock slider exhaust set up. Still going through the side but I’m having it fabbed up so it exits cleanly through the body so I can paint the Flares to match the body.
This picking the color thing is the worst part. I pick one, then I start to go back through the wish list and so on and so on! I’m so envious of you who know exactly what color you want!
Anyway here’s my progress pics and thanks for listening!
Mike
