I mentioned in another thread about the MIC tops that I wanted to possibly paint it white at some time. It would take much more prep and priming than base coast painting. It seems the texturing may have changed, and that's a good thing. My idea was to start by practicing with the grill, as that...
Is there some kind of universal clamp that will fit onto the cross bars with a bolt hole in it? I was able to buy these for my stock Xterra roof rack, and it allowed me to easily mount my Con-Ferr roof rack.
I want a 3D Bronco script emblem on each fender. I was never crazy about the Black Diamond logo anyway. Does anyone have the dimensions for the original fender emblems?
I also found some red and yellow reflectors that are a very good match for the side running lights on the old Broncos. Some...
Would you personally use a heat gun to do this? How long does it take, and how will you know if it's working? What do you need to do after it's heated? Is there some special cleaning involved after the heating process?
Personally, after a lot of research, I wouldn't do the Line-X or the Raptor liner paint. They are hard to clean, and white would just be a bad idea for it altogether, which is the color I want.
I think I would sand down a lot of the texture with a dual action orbital sander, then rub in some...
By the way, Plasti-Dip makes what they claim is a Wimbledon White, the main Bronco white color from the 60s and 70s.

I'm waiting for a 2 door Black Diamond... and waiting. In the meantime, I need a working vehicle. My 2000 Nissan 4WD Xterra has a failing transmission, and with the Bronco delays I'm forced to replace it now. Ugh. I'm looking for both good sources of a reliable remanufactured transmission, and a...
It looks very close to the old chrome yellow. I'd like to copy the accent striping on the old Broncos, and hopefully figure out how to reliably convert the roof to white.
Posted up at bronco nation is this closeup of front license plate location which is just where we saw on that preproduction Bronco in someone's driveway.

I agree with all your points except the last one. 35" mud tires may be OK in some rare circumstances, but generally you won't need them, even for a lot of rock crawling. 32 or 33 inch all-terrain tires are more than adequate for most off-highway driving. I've been off-roading for decades. My 4WD...
If I wanted to sleep in a tent, I would just take my tent. My next purchase may be a T@G Boondock trailer. Here's the 2021 model:

If it's not too obtrusive, that will be fine for me, otherwise the seats will come out. My Xterra cushions come out, and the seats fold down to be nearly flat. Does anyone have a guess as to the distance between the back of the front seats and the tailgate? I don't intend to sleep back there. In...
