Cervinis Stalker Hood installed

[huey]

that hoods looks great on the bronco IMO
The bronco hoods already have a bubble, even though this is obviously more pronounced it does not look too "much"
Next time I have money to burn this is on my list

may i ask what fender flare?

Oem non Sasquatch

@lexi666 assume you were asking about the fender flare because you liked the wheel poke. If so, be sure to evaluate wheel specs as well.

Those look like Black Rhino Axle wheels. If so I would further assume they are 17” and only one size is available for 6x139.7 bolt pattern.

17x9.5 with -18 offset, 112.10 bores, 34.40#

Those are wider than most options talked about on here. SAS wheels and a slew of aftermarket options are 8.5 wide. A few are 9 wide but not many are 9.5 wide.

I mention this because wheel width has to be factored in to equally compare wheels. For instance, many here often run 8.5 wide with 0 offset. In the screen cap of the chart below, you can see a 9.5 wide wheel with -18 offset is comparable to an 8.5 wheel with -5 offset.

An 8.5 wheel with 0 offset is closer to 9.5 wide with -13 offset. So if you were shopping for an 8.5 wide wheel with 0 offset it would have 5mm (approx 3/16”) less poke than the Black Rhino setup here.

While poke is an aesthetic goal for many, it should not be forgotten that more or less offset from stock (adjusted for wheel width) also increases/decreases scrub radius that has other effects on drive quality, longevity, etc.

You could visually gain a similar look running less negative offset and even skinnier flares like the KBD’s or similar and have less scrub radius effects.

Correct

Correct

By the way, love what you’ve done. She looks killer. The brush guard, wheels, hood, lights, etc all work very well together.

Congratulations on the new hood!!! Your Bronco is coming out so good.
We have graphics available for the Cervini hood.

Can't wait to check out your next mod.
Thanks for sharing!

I could've bought one of these hoods, that was in TN and already painted EG, but had some damage on the side, IIRC? He wanted something like $700 for it, but after thinking on it, I just decided that something like this didn't belong on a Bronco, at least in my opinion. To me, hoods like this belong more on a 2wd sports car, not a 4x4 Big Bronco

Thanks for sharing your opinion. I may go take the hood off now and toss it in the trash.

I deleted my comment and ignored this thread...

Finished her up with this hood from Cervinis. Painted from the manufacturer spot on fit and finish. Took some time but worth it

Looks great, I assume going this route you have to go back to using the factory hood prop rod? I guess one could drill and tap the hood and put their own attach point for using gas shocks for lifting the hood?

You can just donate to me or just point me to the trash can this ended up in

I’ve seen a few guys use hood struts with no problems. The holes aren’t there but using either a small self tapping screw or drilling a pilot hole is very easy

Figured. Build looks nice man, keep up the good work!

Beautiful build! The hood adds the right amount rugged flair, and it's stellar!

Looks Freakin Awesome

 

[buzpro]

Absolutely! This is a full fledge brush guard. Mounts to tow loop frame, bumper, and thru grille to body mounts above radiator. Center piece can be removed for better camera view and bumper sensor relocation brackets are available if needed.
