Added Mabett Tube Door pics since posting. (7-9-23)


Had my Bronco for 4 months now. Originally wanted First Edition but didn’t make the list. Then I heard about the Raptor and tried for that. Of course, never had a chance and was left with no Bronco and a long wait.

But then I saw a posting at a local Ford Dealership. Thought it was fake… Big Bend in A51. Not my first choice but after I took it for a test spin I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It was the dealer’s mannequin and it was the first week it was available to sell. While I was test driving it, others were calling on it around the country. $5k ADM only and this was back in March.

So I pulled the trigger and honestly, like the Garth Brooks song, thank god for unanswered prayers… It’s been great using the money I thought I was going to spend on a FE or Raptor on customizing my very own Bronco. So those out there that are frustrated and upset, fret not. It will come and you will enjoy it when it does.

Is that the Ford tonneau cover? If so, I was under the impression that it strapped to the bottom of the tailgate preventing the tailgate from opening without unstrapping it.

Nice build BTW.

Wow that’s looks awesome! What that hood run?
Thank you. Appreciate it. Advanced Fiberglass makes it. It‘s the fiberglass one and it took about a month to ship. John there is the man. Comes unpainted so you need to take it to a shop near you to paint and install. ADV has discount for forum members. And it cost me $800 to paint and install. That seems to be the going rate from what I’ve seen from other forum members.

Link to it.

Yes, it’s the Ford version. I saw it somewhere in this forum where someone clipped off the straps and glued suction cups. GENIUS! So I did the same. Went to Hone Depot and bought some plastic suction cups and some Loctite glue. Voila… after 15 minutes, it gives it a whole new look.

No, I added suction cups to the little flap in the back. Looks great now. It came with 4 straps from Ford… i cut it off.
