BCBroncos Blank Dash Issues

[Green_Bastard]

Has anybody gotten this blank dash from BCB recently and found inaccuracies in the description as well as fitment issues? I got one about two months ago and have had nothing but issues since I started trying to mount it this weekend. I did inspect it when I received it and it looked good but the problems are not something that I would have noticed until actually trying to install it and of course its too late to return it at this point.

1. The description indicates that it has studs incorporated for the glovebox hinges but mine does not so I guess I have to put ugly holes in it.
2. The spot welds are popping lose in various places and before you ask, yes, I'm being gentle with it.
3. There is no provision for the L brackets that attach the dash to the kick panel so they need to be trimmed out.
4. There are tabs welded inside where the L brackets sit that need to be removed.
5. The notches in the top of the back side of the dash are not deep enough so they need to be trimmed about 3/4 inch.
6. The built in defrost chute extends down further than the original and interferes with the center bracket that sits behind the dash so the center bracket needs to be trimmed as well.
7. They interfere with the top inner edge of the door post so something will need to be trimmed there as well.
8. Last but not least, the glovebox opening is about an 1/8 inch larger top to bottom and side to side than the original meaning there will be a larger gap around the glovebox door when closed.

In the description it indicates that all you need to do is prep and paint. I've found that to be far from the truth. I realize that every Bronco has slight differences but these problems are with the design and quality of the product itself. I'm extremely disappointed and not sure how to handle it at this point.

Has anyone else had similar issues?

Mine fit perfectly and was top quality. My suggestion is to take it up with BCB.

Did yours have a slot for the L brackets?

Can’t say I’ve had those issues as I got a completely blank dash. I did notice a couple of tabs missing. I can’t speak to fitment as I’m doing an all fiberglass body so that might be some of the issues. Do you have pictures of yours mounted? Might help me with some questions I’ve got on mine.

Some how I created this thread twice and there are different responses on each so I'll update both with this info. I talked to Jason at BCB today about the problems. There are some differences in how the new dash should mount that I was not aware of because no instructions were included but some of the problems are still valid. Jason indicated that it sounds like the dash I received wasn't built properly especially since the spot welds were popping lose. He is sending out a new one to replace mine and will inspect it before sending it out. During our discussion, he was nothing short of top notch in his customer service and I really appreciate it so a big shout out to BCB.
