Friend’s Bronco Build @ Highline Classics

[Ro_Ja Boy]

I’ve posted a couple times during my builds with Highline Classics and one of a friends as well.

I sold my last Bronco build back in February and became friends with this person during that sale process. He was local and came to see my Bronco as he was starting to look for a Bronco for his family. He didn’t end up winning (or bidding on) the auction, but we became friends through Bronco admiration and he pressed go on having Highline build him a Bronco.

Fast forward and the wait is almost over for him. The Bronco is in the (fast) process and should be completed in the next few weeks. When I sold mine, I thought I wouldn’t build another one because I thought mine was the perfect build for me…his may be even better.

Looking forward to sharing the build process and (soon) the finished Bronco…it will be unique and really well done.

wait! you sold yours, again? built and sold 2-3 of them now? what motivates you to sell so quickly after each "dream" build?

First time the market was so nuts that it felt crazy not to sell (and had two really little kids - newborn and 2 years old so wasn’t driving much). Second one I realized no top didn’t work with having kids in the back. Third one, completely different. We found our dream home and it was a big jump. Slept better having the money in my bank while we bought and updated the home than the Bronco in the garage.

@Ro_Ja Boy specs on the build? Chassis, gen 2 or 3? Who built the body?

 

[Ro_Ja Boy]

I think Highline only uses stock frames. A customer may be able to get them to build one without, but I haven’t seen them do it personally. This will have a Gen 4 coyote and a ton of the same specs as my build, just different colors and some changes. Going to look really good…

I’m pretty sure Highline uses Shannon’s Bronco for their bodies. Looks like this one is doing something similar to @Ro_Ja Boy last one with license plate relocated to passenger side ?

 

[Ro_Ja Boy]

Good catch @clrprop! Going to have a lot of similarities but the color combo is one I’m excited to see

 

[Shimmy]

interesting to see the areas of body filler used to align the body panels and gaps. basically used at every connection?

What is that body color?

 

[Ro_Ja Boy]

Marsh Grey

Is it just me, or is that the biggest muffler on the planet

 

[DirtDonk]

Direct entry into the “no-drone zone” apparently?
I wonder if it’s aftermarket, or an actual factory muffler for a Coyote in a truck perhaps.

 

[Ro_Ja Boy]

I’m missing the joke

 

[DirtDonk]

Nope. Just that in one of the previous pictures of the chassis, that is actually a pretty big muffler.
As Bronco mufflers go…

 

[Scoop]

Compensating for something?? LOL

 

[Shimmy]

appears to be a magnaflow muffler

 

[Ro_Ja Boy]

I see now. I always told Josh, the owner, to make my Bronco as quiet as possible when I was having mine built.
