cool, but I only watched to see what it looks like without fenders. But he strategically stood in front of the shot and you could not see. It would be great to see if this opens up the whole engine compartment to work on it.
otherwise good video and pretty obvious removing the 40 bolts holding the fender on

Lower insurance rates for cheaper repairs offset by higher rates for chop shop stealing. Any bronco fender can be used to replace another one (with no prep if the same color). Wonder which side will win?

Bad news for those with high/lux packages hoping to replace their grilles with a Base, Big Bend or Black Diamond grille. Seems the front facing camera is actually a part of the grille, therefore removing your First Edition, Badlands, wildtrak or Outerbanks grille will result in you losing that front facing camera.

Or the camera is a separate piece that will clip/screw into whatever grill you have on your Bronco.

I hope so but do the lower trims with mid package and below have a camera hole predrilled and the wiring harness in place? I’m sure people will be able to do it themselves... just not sure it’s going to be as easy as advertised at first glance

Aw, no flannel. I was wondering most of the time the purpose of doing such but apparently different fenders may be available later by Ford (definitely aftermarket too, right?) in case you want to change the look. It's interesting though I doubt even my doors will ever even come off much less body panels.

Serious question, would it not be hard to get the panel gaps just right so it doesn't look like a Picasso painting? It's been 20 years since I've helped anyone do bodywork and most of my experience before then was with a 69 Mustang so obviously it's a totally different era in tolerances but it still seems like that could be an issue to get it to fit just right when installing.

EZPZ fender swaps. They shouldn't be harder than that in the first place.

It comes off like any other fender, of any vehicle I’ve worked on. Except I didn’t have to take the door off.

That is a lot of parts to remove, and I can see a lot of broken plastic clips being snapped off in the process, better stock up on replacements before attempting this.
