Looking fantastic, the fitment of panels is very good. Is that Brittany Blue? I’m favoring Brittany Blue for my build and curious what color code you used. Sounds like there are two codes one early code is slightly lighter maybe than the later code, or maybe it was car code vs. truck code?

Thanks! Yes Brittany Blue...I'll have the Code for you soon. It was a 68 Mustang color. I chose black primer to darken it a bit. The Pics make it look more blue...in person I think it looks more blue-silver which I really like.

Amp research steps are mounted and wired. Nicks Step bracket is a must! It’s hairy getting the giant 10mm bolt through the pinch weld. No way the washers were fitting. The seam where the pinch weld bends on mine isn’t the best due to the old rock sliders and I should’ve had that area cleaned up but hopefully it doesn’t look too offensive!

Damn sideways pics!

I tried to load a video but I’m not smart enough to figure that out. Anyway heres a few screen shots from the video.

I bought mine from BC and bought the brackets from Nick. I’m really happy with the kit. The wiring is fairly straight forward except the door switch but that ended up being simple too. I shortened the wiring harness which I’ll take some pics of the underneath when I’m home. Really happy with how it came out.

Did you get the cage sorted out? I had mine sprayed with Rhino Extreme liner, it is similar to Linex but shinier. They can color match it to your paint, that would look pretty slick too. Nice Bronco, well done.

Wow! Looking great KANE!

Thanks Man!!


A bit more progress, new tires and wheels, started the interior and just dropped it off to have the windshield installed.
I drove it to the Windshield Shop which is really close to my house, felt so awesome to drive it again!! One thing I noticed is how rough it rides without the weight in the back. I’m gonna have figure this out because I’m deleting the Spare and heavy speaker box which added good weight back there.
I also got the Flares and hood scoop installed. I opted for no Welting...I really like it. I also went with 2” of spacing which took a lot more screws but I really like the look and I think it’s more functional.
Anyway here’s some pics!
