    Lunar green

    My Bronco's original color was lunar green. Someone repainted it white at some point, but between the horrible repaint and body damage before I owned it, it's now several different colors. I've seen lunar green Broncos that look really nice, and the color seemed really close to what it should...

    Wild Horses body

    Any of you guys have the wild horses tub? I've really been thinking of just putting a new tub on my Bronco. Too much hacked up pieces on the current body.

    B pillar

    I need advice on removing and replacing the B pillar. What is the best way to remove it without ruining the quarter panel?

    Coyote Bronco

    You can go to a jeep dealer and order a Wrangler or Gladiator with a hellcat engine. The jeep is sent to an authorized builder for the conversion. So it's turn key and ready to go with a warranty from the conversion shop. I'm thinking Ford needs to follow suit and offer a 5.0 coyote. That...

    WH Optima battery tray

    Does the wild horses optima battery tray work with other brand batteries?

    Front teardown

    I was hoping I wouldn't have to remove the front sheet metal, but something is definitely off in the front. Any advice on removing the fenders, grill, and more than likely the front core support? I know this could be a pandora's box, but I have to get it right. It think there is definitely a...

    Body weight question

    This is probably a stupid question, but who else should I ask other than a bunch of Bronco nuts. I read on here that the body by itself weights about 350 lbs. I don't know if that's with all of the panels, doors, and the tailgate, or just a stripped down body. I'm guessing stripped down...

    Found pics

    I found some pictures of my first Bronco that i purchased in 1990. I was just a pup at that time. I also found a picture of an uncut white bronco. I took the picture in 1995 in Red Lodge, Montana.

    WH round up

    I'm planning on attending the Wild Horses roundup in May and I plan to bring a few items to sell. I have the original 9" out of my '69. No internal brake parts like shoes or springs, and I believe it still has original gears. I could use some advice on how much it's worth. It's in good shape...

    Front bumper alignment

    This is driving me crazy. I really don't want to tear the front end down to the frame. I was hoping to do body work and paint after checking the fit of the front bumper. Any suggestions other than a sledgehammer?

    Rear bumpers

    I'm looking for the "Rock Blocker" rear bumper that Wild horses used to advertise. It had the options of a fuel can and a ice chest carrier. Now that I'm ready to get one I can't find one. I checked ProtoFab's website and I didn't see one listed. I also checked Bailie Bilt's site. Thanks.

    Body alignment

    Is it possible for a bronco body to be misaligned on the frame? In other words, can it be offset to one side or the other? Or does the design of the body mounts prevent this.

    Opinions on seats

    I'm leaning toward the procar seats on the Wild horses site. The part number is 3650. If any of you guys are running these I'd like know what you think of them. Thanks.

    Body alignment

    I've been moving slow on my '69, but I finally started to mount my winch bumper from WH. The bumper isn't lining up on the sides of the body. I have the Bobcat 8274 winch bumper, and the the right side has about 3" of clearance between the bumper and fender. The left side has about a 1/4". When...

    Body panels replacement

    I need to replace the driver side lower quarter panel, the rocker panel, and the B pillar. This is my first time doing something like this. My question is, in what order should they be replaced once everything is removed? It seems pretty straightforward when I look at how they overlap, but I'd...

    Bobcat 8274 winch bumper

    I got this bumper as a Christmas gift from my wife and sons. I have not installed it yet, but I was looking at the mounting bracket on the driver side, and it seems like one of the bolts from the steering box needs to be removed and then reinstalled through the bumper bracket. Is this correct? I...

    Body shops

    Just venting. I had a local body shop in mind for my body and paint work, and I had already talked to them about doing the work right before the covid lockdown. I decided to postpone things until after the lockdown. The shop has been in business here for 50 years. Still family owned. Now that...

    My budget gauges

    Rewired the bronco a couple of months ago and I wanted all my gauges in the stock location. I will probably change out the speedometer for one that only goes to 100 MPH. I bought the gauges in 2016 when my engine was being built and I could only find the 160 MPH speedometer in cobalt at the...

    Painless wiring ammeter wire

    Just looking for confirmation on the 2 ammeter wires in the painless wiring harness. Do I plug the 2 ammeter wires into each other? From what I have read it seems these 2 wires have to be connected to complete the charging system. I am not running stock gauges. It would be nice if the...
