Hey all!

I've spent years lusting after a rebuilt Bronco and finally pulled the trigger. Wanted to do a fully spec'd out Bronco but didn't quite have the funds to go through A Velocity Restorations or Vintage Broncos full build. I found this Bronco online and inquired immediately, two days later i signed the paperwork and I am currently setting up the shipping to my home in New Jersey. The truck was a complete frame off restoration performed by Vintage Broncos in 2018. It was originally spec'd out by Jennifer Lopez as a gift for Alex Rodriguez, so it has his number (13) stitched into the center console, and his swing logo stitched into the headrests. Unfortunately I do not have the build sheet, and Vintage Broncos has since changed their computer systems, and do not have the build sheet either. They have confirmed with certainty that. it is their build and can only confirm a few details: Coyote V8, power sidesteps, 18" wheels, AC, LED interior lights, LED headlights, off-road front and rear bumpers, 3.5" lift, approximately $20,000 sound system (not sure about that one). I have a few questions for the forum, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

-Where in the NY/NJ area should I have this truck worked on when it comes to service, maintenance, or any additional work that I may perform?
-Are there any recommendations based on the photos that you think I should make/change about the truck or the engine?
-What websites should I check out in order to buy accessories like a new steering wheel?
-Any recommendations on where I can buy a cover as it does not fit in the garage?

Thank you!

Super excited for this rig to arrive. The photos are from the listing and what the salesperson has sent over thus far....

Welcome! Where are you NJ? There are a few shops depending on where you are located. For shops- Lou at LAL is in NY, Paul at Minix is in south jersey. Most of our vendors are great. Always good to spread your money around. Jeff’s carries a few decent covers. Update your signature when you can with location and rig specs.

Thank you! Working on that now. I'm in Highlands, NJ so pretty central Jersey. Definitely want to look into the above. Maybe they can help me identify some more info about the build.

And though it makes little difference because of what it’s gone through, a Marti Report will fill you in on what it was originally born with.
Which is usually fun to see anyway.
