Visit to Highline Classics

[Ro_Ja Boy]

I had my first Bronco built by Highline Classics back in 2019. After selling it last year, I searched for a Bronco replacement only to come back to wanting another. I ordered a new build from Highline Classics that will be done later this year.

When selling my Bronco I made a friend with someone that came to see it in person. They were really coming to see the quality of Highline’s work and they ultimately ordered one from Highline as well.

His Bronco is just about done, so he made plans to visit the shop. I happened to be traveling yesterday already, so met him to tour the Highline Classics shop.

Josh (the owner) is who you would want building anything you buy. Any minor issues I had on my first one were handled quickly and perfectly. Seeing the shop and where the magic happens just made me that much more excited and anxious for mine to start being built.

Some of the upgrades from my last build include custom axles, digital gauges, automatic windows, Gen 3 Coyote motor, etc.

Some pictures from yesterday:

Will post more pics from my computer later as it’s easier.

Josh is a real stand up nice guy. I buy and sell parts with him on occasion . No BS and very fair. My last two full body replacements came from him and were well done and a great price. Anyone looking for a high end quality build should really consider buying from him. My two cents for what it’s worth.….
And yes. Drool runs from my mouth when I stop by there….

Spent a bunch of time trying to figure out what wheel setup I want to go with (15x10 or 17x9).

What size tires you going with?

 

[Ro_Ja Boy]

33x12.5 That grey one isn’t mine (it’s my buddy that I went with). Black obviously looks better on his Bronco but I was just trying to look at offsets mainly.

I like the 15x10 with that tire size. My avatar picture is 33 x 12.5 with 15 x10 rims. 9 inch is a bit narrow in my opinion for 12.5s. To each their own tho…

Actually digging the orange wheel/tire combo. That must be handy.

They need my bumper lift.

 

[56f100bbw]

yep they do need them

 

[Ro_Ja Boy]

They modify the frame rails on the front to have the bumper sit higher, but couldn’t on the rear since it has the Duff setup. They’re using the filler panel.

Was messaging with Duffy. Not sure if it’s the image or if this one isn’t pulled up as high as normal. On my last one it had no gap so will inquire…

Easy fix in the scheme. I’m just excited to get a better motor, better axles, better carpet, better speaker setup, better cooling system, better fuel system, etc.

Looks like the net number of EBs is increasing again with all these all-new builds going on...kinda like '69 Camaros!

Gorgeous! And SPENDY!!!! $$$$$

 

[Ro_Ja Boy]

At $169k for a Coyote build with only a handful of options/extras that can bring up the price, I believe they’re the best value builder of high end Broncos. Obviously I’m biased.

 

[Howard2x4x4]

I don't doubt at all that they are a good value at that price point. They sure are nice.

So how does that work for most states in terms of titleing them? I've got a local builder here in Columbus, OH that does the same thing. are they really buying up old titles, or are these being titled as kit/replicas? wouldn't that significantly devalue it unless they've got a legit title to build from?

I wish I knew. I've wondered the same thing for years and I've never felt like I've gotten a simple, straight answer on it.

I've been wondering as well, and the best explanation coming from Gateway with their ads looking to purchase frames w/ titles and VINs. The only other thing I can think of is someone out there specializes in bonded titles that has sat on them long enough to convert them over to legit titles (certain states apply). Anyone else have a good guess?

 

[Ro_Ja Boy]

The frames being used are originals…they match the VIN and title. Some bodies are aftermarket, but not chassis. If anyone saw the bringatrailer auction that ended within the last couple days, you’ll see that it seems aftermarket chassis Broncos are not nearly as desired.

10-4. My mistake- I didn't look close enough. I saw those wheels that Kincer uses with their chassis and thought they were probably theirs.
