DIY Tailgate Bronco Emblem Swap

[WestTex]

Swapped out my Chrome Bucking Bronco Rear Emblem for Ford OEM Gloss Black Bronco Emblem like Wildtraks have. Super easy process. If any one else is thinking about doing it, go for it.
Step 1: Tape off chrome emblem with painters tape to ensure the new one will be in same location.
Step 2: Use heat gun on emblem for about 30 seconds to a minute until pretty warm to touch.
Step 3: Use fishing line to get behind old emblem and pry it off.
Step 4: Cleaned area of residue with thumb first to remove leftover 3M adhesive then use microfiber cloth and windex. Dry area with microfiber cloth.
Step 5: Remove backing of new emblem and line up emblem inside painter's tape. Press down firmly on emblem to ensure adhesion.
Step 6: Remove painter's tape and admire new emblem.

Supplies: Heat gun (or hair dryer), fishing line (or dental floss), microfiber cloth and cleaner, OEM M2DZ-7842528-B Black Bucking Bronco Tailgate Emblem for 2021-2023 Ford Bronco https://a.co/d/2zIIc5s

Nice write up. I have one up on sale section if anyone wants to do this swap. I Bought it for badlands and ended up ordering wildtrack. If no one buys it it will prob end up on my toolbox.

This will be helpful for others looking to do the same thing. I swapped out the silver Bronco emblem for a black as well. And also swapped out the Ford emblem with an all black replacement from Etsy.

I did the same today myself…I used a bondo spreader instead fishing line. Worked good.

Hmmm. Very nice write up. I thought I wanted to go all black, to include classic script on the front fenders. But currently, the tailgate is stock with blue oval, chrome pony, plus a gold medallion addition particular to me. And I just did the US flag stickers on the front BRONCO. Maybe I'll just leave it all mixed up.

I have black and was thinking about changing it to chrome.
Everything is black on mine and I'm bored of everything matching, but I guess it'll stay like that so it's more cohesive or something

Nice write up. Question though: can I use fishing line to floss my teeth?

I work in the filament technology industry. Dental floss is typically made from 420 denier coated nylon and I believe fishing line is made from gelspun polyethylene in a range of sizes. Theoretically you could use it, but it may be harsh on your gums.

Right! I was going to go with the white top, white wheels, Heritage look, until I thought about keeping the wheels clean, and then decided to buy the "black" twill Skyrider from Besttop. So now that a white top is out, I've decided to keep the white trim pieces more subtle as accents. I am enjoying the various color schemes everyone is coming up with according to individual taste . . . knowing that if you can change it once, you can change it again!

I added the black Bronco when I added the Black Script on the fenders.

It’s a little pricey, but made me real happy to get rid of the Blue emblem that didn’t match anything.
