WldOne’s AMB OBX Build and Journal

[WldOne]

Hello fellow B6G members!

My journey started years ago like many of you. I love antique cars, especially the early Broncos and pretty much all early Fords. I’ve even helped my grandfather rebuild a 1966 Mustang coupe and currently a 1968 Mercury Cougar XR-7. I’ve always had a big love for cars, trucks, SUVs. I’ve owned many different vehicles including a couple Wranglers and I’m glad to have gone through with my Bronco purchase (after a mild lapse in waiting judgement).

I'm not usually a fan of bronze wheels but those look amaze with antimatter blue!

Thank you. It took me a while to decide on wheels and I was nervous about the bold choice I was making as black would’ve been the safer.
Stay tuned lighting upgrades will be forth coming.

I live in Virginia and in my area it is rare to get snow. We’ve had snow two weekends in a row. Here’s some pics below.
Oh…still waiting on these Diode Dynamic SS3 lights to come in, too.

Big lighting upgrade today. Look for a installation post on the Lighting forum section from me.

I’ve gotta say Diode Dynamics hit it out of the park with their SS3 lights.
I bought SS3 combo lights with amber backlighting. I set them in for ditch lights and wired to Aux switches 5 &6. Diode dynamics oem auxiliary wiring with dual 4-pin harness made it easy for a novice like me.
Night pics to show off the lights coming soon.

A few night pics. Will have better quality once I charge and use my Nikon camera instead of my iPhone.

The new lights.

 

[WldOne]

Added some StickerFab goodies and plastidipped the rear Bronco.

VERY nice.

 

[WldOne]

It’s been a little while since I did a post. And….I have some more goodies installed.
New mods: Roush intake & blacked out rear bucking Bronco.

All shined up after a good wash.

beautiful if it ever stays decent outside for more than 4 hours I’ve got some things to add to mine.
I had my heart set on the AMB. But when I had to chance to snag my OBX in carb grey vs a big bend AMB with no options creature comforts won out.

These are just beautiful vehicles so I think they all look good no matter the color. Ironically, I originally ordered a A51 Black Diamond then I test drove my dealership’s demo Wildtrak. I fell for the 12 inch screen. OBX was lowest trim I could go for the 12” screen and that’s when I changed the color to AMB (as a wildcard chance it might get built). Mine pulled for production 9/3 just weeks prior to 2022 order banks opened. I truly lucked out.
