I have a 1973 Bronco and i've built a couple other Broncos over the years. I started saving about 3 years ago when I saw Rampage and the Rock was driving that concept Bronco.

We had the entire family trying to reserve on day one and some how after website crashing multiple times, I ended up with 1 First Edition and 1 Wildtrack all the way at the "Reserve" screen. I decided what the hell and went with the first edition.

Plans for this thing keep evolving but I always wanted to run 37"s and eventually Fox coilovers.

Here it is on Day one when I picked it up

I didn't want to be "That Guy" running around with the stock spare and 37"s so I waited to mount them up until I got my spare relocator, tailgate reinforcement plate and third brake light relocation bracket. Finally got them all mounted up today.

Going to have to cut down the factory rock rail as it rubs on the rail when backing up/turning. And i'm sure it's going to rub off road.

Eventually when the world goes back to normal, I will throw some Fox coilovers on it to bring it up another inch maybe inch and half. But I'm happy with the low and wide stance.

What is your wheel offset?
is the rub on the rocker bad enough to do something about? If so what would you do?
awesome vehicle, thanks for posting

First mod was adding Baja Designs lights from @4x4TruckLEDs.com

Truck looks great! Curious also what upfitter switches were used, especially for the BajaDesigns bumper kit? I was thinking about having the fog lights on 2, then combining the other lights on 3, but since I am not currently planning to buy a light bar or winch, using three switches would not be the end of the world for me. Thanks!

Which Baja lights are you using for the bumper ones and the A pillar?
Everything I have is the Squadron Sport. I wish I had gone bigger on the ditch lights but they are still pretty bright.

These are 17x9 with a -12mm offset. Pretty aggressive but looks good. I think i'm going to remove the rocksliders, pull the cap off the front and shorten them by and inch or an inch and half and then put the cap back on. I think that should give me the clearance I need.

That's a good joke. Don't hold your breath.

Bronco is looking great on the 37's though. 👍
Right?? haha Camburg told me 8 to 10 months for coilovers. I was stressing it but now that I have the tires on and the clear pretty good, i'm not going to worry about it.

I currently am using 3 of the upfitter switches. I have a fog light headlight switch on order and I plan on putting the 2 smaller outside lights on the factory fog switch to free up the upfitters. But for now it works great. And the 4x4truckled wire harness combined with the upfitter switches made it soooooooooooo simple to get them wired up. I was really shocked at how simple it is.
