How to: Remove Fenders on 2021 Bronco [DIY Instructions Videos]

HARLEQUIN BRONCO TIME

A part of me likes this idea. I got a A51 to cover the Pistachio Green. We just need a Cyber Orange, a Race Red, and the Velocity Blue(lightning fits better, but that's only available with first edition..) to complete the colors!

Looks like the Cactus Gray WT has all black interior...

Understand it’s preproduction, but see how not difficult it is to have all black.

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.

100%. I'm happy Ford designed the Bronco this way but they're going to need to build a retainer tab memorial to honor the memory of the thousands of broken clips that die from removing these panels.

There are tons of broken clip/tab threads on Mustang6G. It's so common there aftermarket solutions for securing your busted bumper back onto the car. https://www.cjponyparts.com/quik-latch-front-bumper-latch-kit-black-2015-2021/p/QLFBK1/

The rear bumper on my S550 sags slightly because the bumper tab won't sit right in the retainer and I've never even removed it. Additionally, one of the retainer tabs on the front bumper broke the first time I removed it, despite being careful after getting warned by my buddy who also broke it.

Just waiting for Jalopnik or some dingbat on here to claim you have to remove the front wheel AND fender to change the oil on Bronco.......

Kind of wondering how much the fuel filler complicates fender removal on the other side. None of these videos have shown the driver side at this point and I'm starting to suspect why.

I am now concerned about people stealing my fenders flares. I wonder if the latches can be replaced with something more secure.

I'm really concerned too. It won't be fun if you have to replace fender flairs all the time because people take them. I guess the first accessory item will be a fender flair lock. Whoever thought that would be a thing?

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.

From looking at the videos, looks like the OBX, BL, WT, FE has an angled shroud. The camera looks to be affixed to the truck. I could see that to help keep it debris free??? Just thinking out loud...TBD

EDIT...but dang sure looks like a lens cover on it...

All new vehicles are like this.

I am not worried about people stealing my fenders. If they try I will simply say “no don’t steal that”

This needs its own thread! All black interior on a Wildtrak. Come on Ford!

Must be a press invitation by Ford.
It appears all these videos are recorded at the same facility.

What is this?

I think the genius of this is that Ford can build this chassis and body for 10-15 years and only have to modify those bolt on exterior parts with cosmetic changes for periodic model refresh.
