The CA retro plate looks great on all Broncos Iāve seen it on, but yes CO is especially badass. I might get the retro blue NV plate for the same reason.Someone around here posted a link to a product on Etsy that lets you transfer your Badlands trim badge to a mount that attaches on the grille. I didn't want to put it on the grille, but I used the plastic mount and attached it to a plain hitch cover.
And one nice thing about living here in CA is being able to get the old-school 60s-style California license plate. Looks great with CO.
Thanks!Well done and thank you for documenting all of this. I am the same as you, learning lots from all these talented enthusiasts! Hope to do many similar mods as you, just over a much greater time frame! Congratulations.
Great sticker! Should product some extras. I would buy one.One of the accessories I got from Ford was the Deluxe Cargo Enclosure. I wanted something that would provide me some relatively secure storage when out and about topless.
Install was easy, though I chose to leave some parts out - I didn't include the struts. Basically, I want to be able to pull the top of the enclosure when I want, that way I can haul the dogs or larger items. (We actually bought some large plants, stood them up in the back extending above where the top would have been, and secured them with some bungies running to the GPCA tie downs. Worked great.)
Overall, I like the design. The molle patterns in the side and rear panel are useful, and the panels don't significantly reduce the usable cargo space. One thing I couldn't get a clear answer on prior to getting my Bronco was how secure the swingate was with the top off. Plenty about doorless, but not much on topless. But turns out it works exactly how I hoped. The swingate will NOT unlock by pushing the unlock button on the doors, unless you actually have the key.
Planning to add some of my many stickers to the top of the enclosure, but haven't gotten to that yet.
Next was the other key upgrade to help any relatives or friends get in and out - the IAG side steps. These are the short ones that hook over the stock rock rails. They install easily and get be quickly removed if needed prior to hitting the trail. You have some flexibility about where they go along the rail, but not complete freedom, as the attachment points for the rails themselves can get in the way.
Fortunately, I was able to position the front steps far enough forward that they are out of the way (I don't have to step over them to get in), but are still useful to step on if needed. I opted for the orange inserts to match the CO, but I haven't installed them yet. They actually look good without them, so not sure if I will.
One other little touch I added was inspired by a thread here on B6G. Someone drove through a mud pit and mentioned that the devil on their shoulder told them to do it. I really liked, so I had a sticker made with a little devil whispering "send it" that fits on the pillar just above my seat belt. I like how it came out - and how you won't even notice it if you're not looking.
Serious question: was it a bastard cut file? That would be used for fitting over-stamped body panels before the seam sealer is laid down.And I would be remiss if I did not mention the surprise I got when I got to the first wash. There, nestled on the cowl at the base of the windshield ā was a rusty metal file. I really donāt know where it came from, but I think it must have been there when I took delivery. Fortunately, it stayed put until I came across it. I donāt want to think of what it would have done to the windshield if it had kicked up on the highway.
