604Bronco’s Build Journal

[1975U15]

Ya I do have the rock rails which I had heard other people say you need to cut them to make it fit. Did something change?

Happen to be in other thread a moment ago and member shared this video. Very solid install. Rock rail cutout. Things aren’t going anywhere.

That video I found super helpful in my decision to purchase these.

I'm new to the world of SUV's/trucks: Are mud flaps usually $450 per pair? That seems insanely expensive!

I’ve paid this amount before (for Gatorbacks, lol) and they are on the higher side for sure. You can buy $20 flaps too. These ones are rock solid and look great, but at the end of the day, any mud flaps will be helpful.

Interested to know if the hood deflector does it’s job sending bugs up and over the vehicle. I received my bronco the end of July and was constantly cleaning bug guts off. The flat windshield acts like a magnet for insects.

From what I’ve read from others, it does help with bugs for sure.

I’ve only had it for a week-ish, and it’s Winter, so no bugs lol. I mostly bought it to help prevent rock chips on the windshield and lip of the hood. I also think it looks cool, which I have never said about a deflector in my life.

What about if I've got PPF on my hood already?

I recently had PPF put on my entire Bronco. My installer said the deflector goes on top of the PPF. Only use the alcohol to clean the area on the PPF before installation. I'm installing my deflector today.

Thanks for the info….now I feel more comfortable installing my deflector over my PPF! I’m going to order my deflector from Ford today to take advantage of the 15% off before the end of the year!!

Thanks for this. Waiting for more parts of mine to show up and I'm renting a shop bay to install them all. It's -38C here today. My unheated garage won't cut it.

Thanks!

I was thankful enough to scoop up a cancelled reservation, and change to my build specs. Switching to the soft top likely helped too.

Vinyl Wrap Update:

So unfortunately there was a bit of an issue with my vinyl wrap After a day, it started to peel off in a couple areas (you'd likely never notice if I didn't point it out). I reached out to the company, and they 100% stood behind their work and are re-doing it over the next couple days. Said the batch of vinyl was bad, so ordered a new roll. I've used this company before, and not only did they always do great work, but they are well-known and have lots of big companies/clients.

Silver lining in all this: I was scratching my head about the wrap when I picked it up initially. It looked awesome, however something was off. Couldn't put my finger on it. After finding the vinyl starting to peel a bit, the light bulb went on - The back portion, where it wraps near the tail lights, wasn't 100% correct. In my pictures you can see it ends as a black "wall" pretty much. It's supposed to "spray" or "flare" at the end, like the rest of the wrap. They're going to correct this too, since they are re-doing the wrap. I think it had to do with the scaling of the wrap and how it was initially laid out on the vehicle. Not the end of the world - It still looked awesome, but I think this will be slightly better I think this will help @nifty like my wrap more too

I'll post some updated pictures in the coming days, once I have it back.

This weekend I'm hoping to get my light bar and pocket lights from Baja Designs installed too - Pictures to follow on that as well.

Vinyl Wrap Update #2:

Ok, so as mentioned yesterday, I was getting my wrap re-done. Below are some pictures of it completed, including the slight change to the rear wrap around by the tail lights. You'll also notice the new door jambs are more simple and clean.

Let me know what you think - Better than before, worse, both looked good, etc.?

Looks the same to me but I am sure there is a difference.
