Those are imported directly from China, I'm curious what the quality is like.

How can you tell that they came from China?

Anyone check out the quality in person yet??

Somebody is going to be pissed when they figure out that they welded the dash bracket nuts on the wrong side of the kick panel...

It seems to be a "one of none..." Early grill, late core support, late aprons, early fenders, no marker light quarters, late doors, late windshield frame, late floor pan, late cowl.

Very interested to know how they look in person.

This image is mirrored. Note that there is no gas tank fill, the headlight bucket spring retainer bracket is reversed, and the windshield wiper holes are reversed. Since there is no "Ford" logo on the grill, it's harder to tell. Not good, not bad, just backwards.
(...I can't tell you how many times I've made this mistake when sharing pics.)

I just grabbed it off their website.

The heads up China crap is really appreciated, we are going to find more aftermarket from China just not on our cherished Broncos but on everything which on small products it’s already been happening for the last four years, well lets go back to 08

Damn, I shoulda looked closer before throwing it up on here, but I guess its been educational.

Somebody should buy one and start a build thread called "The Temu Bronco"!!

How much are they directly from China?

 

[chuddy]

How much are they directly from China?

$8500, but you have to buy like 10 at a time, basically fill a 40ft container.

 

[jpc1970]

Are these purchased through alibaba?

 

[Mikes79Bronco]

Are these purchased through alibaba?

Yes, or directly from the MFG in china in quantities of 10+ then resold in the states.

Listing is down to $13,999, kind of appealing at that point since it includes the top. But I'm not sure I would want to be the one to gamble on the alibaba bronco build

 

[hyghlndr]

Bumping this to the top, who has actually seen one in person?

 

[bigmuddy]

Kinda makes sense, since most of the body panels come from there anyway...

they do drive on the left side of road in their country?

@Broncitis got into it with a seller on FB who was claiming they were US built with OEM sheet metal. Not surprisingly, the seller turned off commenting for his post after Drew called him out.

China drives on the right like we do; however, Hong Kong (Former British Colony) drives on the left. Makes for an interesting transition at the Border.
