This is a super cool build!
Been waiting for someone to do a 4 door Bronco truck, since @BigMeatsBronco did the 2 door truck.
Wishing you all the best on this wild project! Takes a serious vision to pull this off, can't wait to see the final product.

Most anticipated build of the year right here!
I disagree! awaiting the Godzilla motor build completion more... or did they finish the wiring and programming?

All of that has been done on the build I am following. They are now tuning it, and considering adding a whipple to it.

Well.... Where to start?

Just a little history on the Bronco.

A couple days after I got it we had our son, and brought him home in it.

After a few trips I did a small build and went to Colorado with Toyo Tires to get content for a new tire, the RT Trail.


1748927725460-iw.jpg

1748926941721-3e.jpg


Next I progress to do full ADV Fiberglass, this was the start of my broncos deconstruction....

I wanted to blend the door panels and fiberglass....

1748926872178-jf.jpg


My Bronco Raptor showed up during this time.

1748928865259-1w.jpg



I figured, "Hey, I might swell do a few other things while I am making dust"

Ohhh boy,

1748928946009-tg.jpg

1748928991068-cb.jpg

1748929012899-i2.jpg


One step forward

1748929076036-q8.jpg


Several steps back...

1748929190452-n5.jpg


Building towards the vision...

1748929505485-nd.jpg


Having fun, so I just kept going with it.

1748929581707-o4.jpg


1748929675764-bn.jpg


Progress was good, aaaaannnnd then we moved across the country for my job.

1748929807842-pa.jpg



1748930000325-o5.jpg


Another baby just a few weeks after we moved...



1748930108661-kc.jpg


And I got a shop to work on my projects..

1748930171727-d6.jpg


Well I got all this space. But so much time has past between what I originally wanted, and now...

And who needs two broncos? I already have a Bronco Raptor... What I am really missing is a truck...

Line a few things up...

1748930571000-r3.jpg


And Viola!

1748930606143-sn.jpg


1748930647140-n8.jpg


Shoot... Now what? no turning back!

1748930701284-gx.jpg


Measure twice, cut once, repeat..

1748930774654-mu.jpg



Annnd cut some more...



1748930814726-eu.jpg



Start welding in...

1748930870546-hh.jpg


and weld some more....

(The roll bar is boron steel, to keep it structural I sleeved it with 10" of steel inside because you will loose strength when welding to the heat treated boron.)

1748930916011-18.jpg


The key is you MUST make really detailed plans..

1748930990139-oy.jpg


This is how she sits as of this weekend, we're finally building more than cutting!

1748931078447-ot.jpg



Now, here is the plan, or as much of it as I can share... The plan is to do the full reveal at SEMA..


The bed will overall "appear" to be 5', however I am keeping 1' "inside" the cabin to house the electronics, sound system, and dry storage.

Wheelbase is around 117", roughly the same as a 4dr f150 short bed.

40-42" tires without rubbing.

Front will sit around 4"-5' wider per side and moved forward 1.5" for cabin clearance.

Front buckets will be cut out and custom towers made to support the long travel coilovers.

Rear is getting long travel triangulated 4 link and a wide axle to match front.

Rear frame moved up 4" under the bed area to allow more travel.

Custom 40gallon fuel tank behind rear axle.

The bed itself will be aluminum construction to help save some weight ( with composite bedsides)

The bed is not separate from the cab structurally, it bolts to the structure you see in the photos.

The entire body (bedside, tailgate, fenders, door skins, hood) is my own design ( I can't share that yet) and will be 3d printed to make molds and ultimately a composite exterior.

Full belly skids

Custom bumpers

Engine mods

Sound system ( I already did it and then I cut it all out when I chopped the rear)

Lots of other details but that will all come with time...


That's all for tonight
Dang dude! You’re a wild animal! Amazing.

You had me after this picture. I am loving the blacked out door jambs and red roll bars. Right before seeing this thread I was looking at my Bronco with doors off thinking it would be great to black out the jambs and hinges. I bought the DeeZee hinge covers but don't love them for the steep price, so will be returning them and looking at doing the door jambs in black. Much smaller project than yours! I will be following your progress.

Has anyone done their door jambs in black? I was thinking maybe matte black PPF instead of trying to spray paint them. Not sure if that makes sense.

Thanks! I wish I had a photo with the body on and doors of to show you but it really does make a difference! I always hated the “unclean” look with the doors off and body color mixed with the plastic trim and interior. It was a big improvement IMO.
