  1. Outer Base Diamond Bronco = painted steelies + custom installed Outer Banks Navy Pier cloth seat upholstery

    I used Silver Duplicolor High Performance Wheel Coating (Part #HWP101) and Duplicolor Matte Clear Coat (Part #HWP106). I think it's a good match, but didn't really look at it that closely to be honest. A co-worker took my Base steelies off my hands immediately after I had the painted Black...

    Mine is definitely Navy Pier. It photographs weird for me, though.
  3. Outer Base Diamond Bronco = painted steelies + custom installed Outer Banks Navy Pier cloth seat upholstery

    Nice, it's a fun project! I had never done anything like this before and surprised myself with the results. My Bronco is actually a Base. I had purchased the take-off Black Diamond wheels and tires several months before my Bronco arrived (Bronco took longer to arrive than expected - I'm sure...

  7. Outer Base Diamond Bronco = painted steelies + custom installed Outer Banks Navy Pier cloth seat upholstery

    Rattle canned a set of Black Diamond take-offs. I wanted to keep the silver steelie look, but with a beefier tire than the 255/70R16 Dueler HT's that came stock. Special thanks to @BudgetBronco Tim for providing additional prep and painting tips; be sure to check out his informative YouTube...
  8. **SOLVED** Hard Top Is Stuck - Won't Come Off!

    Happy to report that I was able to get the two front panels off! Just went for a quick little spin and it was awesome! I made another attempt with max leverage and max upward pressure to the area that wouldn't budge. Gave it my full 110% to no avail. The trick was jostling the panel vigorously...
  9. **SOLVED** Hard Top Is Stuck - Won't Come Off!

    Not a dumb question, but yes, I'm releasing all 4.
  10. **SOLVED** Hard Top Is Stuck - Won't Come Off!

    I haven't washed it yet other than cleaning the wheels with some wipes, lol. Unfortunately, haven't had an opportunity to drive her much.
  11. **SOLVED** Hard Top Is Stuck - Won't Come Off!

    Yes, I am aware of this. Thank you.
  12. **SOLVED** Hard Top Is Stuck - Won't Come Off!

    I may or may not have utilized a rubber mallet at one point (don't want to void warranty).
  13. **SOLVED** Hard Top Is Stuck - Won't Come Off!

    Lol, yes I am sure. It's like that center area is fused to the vehicle/not releasing.
  14. **SOLVED** Hard Top Is Stuck - Won't Come Off!

    I've had my 2 door Base for a little over a month now and finally got around to taking off the front sections of the hard top for the first time this weekend, however, it was not meant to be. After releasing each of the latches, all areas of the driver's side section release from the vehicle...
