Great build. Look forward to hearing about how you like the Icon coilovers. Makes me wish I had ordered Red too!Most of the parts are on now.
These are actually their replacement 2.5 shocks that utilize the factory springs. I must say, the ride is pretty epic so far.
Nice looking upgrades, your Bronco is looking awesome. Congratulations on running a very successful business. I see it has allowed you to own a couple of unique vehicles, of which one is now the Bronco, yahoo!Most of the parts are on now.
Gorgeous!Many of you my recognize my name from various forums over the years or as one of the executives at MBRP before they sold to private equity a few years ago. I am still in my the automotive aftermarket industry as I have been my whole life, but in a different sort of role. I own a large brand development firm that handles a lot of the sales, trade shows, and marketing execution for brands like MBRP, Michelin/BFG, Nitto, Vossen Wheel, MSS Suspension, etc...
Since we used vehicles all over North America I wanted to get back in the wrenching of things and build a 2 Door Bronco that will eventually replace a Tacoma TRD Pro I have in service out on the West Coast with one of my employees.
Our Blank Slate of a build showed up and the parts have been slowly trickling in for it as well. The purpose of the vehicle is to be able to make about 1000 jobber calls (shop visits) annually while also being able to be a prop in many of our trade shows that we handle for MBRP.

Looking forward to keeping you guys up to speed on the build as it comes along.
The base headlights and Badlands grille go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Do you have sound clips?Tackled the MBRP exhaust install today. I chose the T304 high clearance system but they have a single and dual system as well with nice exhaust tips.
Factory system removed:
Install took a little under an hour with air tools on the ground in my driveway (I'm wrenching on vacation).
The sound is a little louder, significantly deeper than stock on the 2.7L.
