Well folks, it's been quite a turn of events with our Bronco here at Apollo and we owed y'all an update! We've been working on a ton of upgrades to our new site (launching soon) and have had our hands pretty full, but now that we've got some breathing room it's time to tell y'all about our Bronco build that is live and in progress!
At Apollo Optics, we've always believed in actually installing, running, and testing the products that we offer...and our Bronco is no exception to that! Every single product that you see on this rig is a brand and part that we offer and can help you get setup on YOUR Bronco!
While our site is still in progress, if there's anything that you see here that you have questions about, feel free to send me a PM and I'll be glad to help get you dialed in!
If you follow us on social media @apollo_optics on Instagram or @apollooptics on Facebook, then you've seen some of our progress over there. But we figured it's time to give our B6G family some updates and do a full write-up!
NOW...onto the Bronco build!!
The bad news was that our Day 1 reservation got pushed back to a 2022 model, but we were able to make some changes and took delivery of our Eruption Green Wildtrak this past June! Now the good news, we've got another Bronco on the way for later this year that will be another build!
But for now, we're focusing on the Wildtrak build!
Here's what she looked like on Day 1 of Delivery:
The Bronco actually showed up a little bit early, originally slotted for July, and we were behind on our parts deliveries. So she sat for a few weeks before she went under the knife.
Now, we do our own stunts and installs here at Apollo, however, paint and body work is something we leave to the guys who are real pros. So once we got our full order from our friends over at ADV Fiberglass, we dropped her off at the local paint and body shop where she sat for nearly three months being meticulously taken apart and then put back together!
Here's some pics from along the way when we started ripping the truck apart with only 70 miles on the clock:
We opted to go with the ADV 2" Front Fenders w/ Wheel Liners, 2" Rear Quarter panels, and the Ram Air Hood. We've also seen WAYYYYY too many of these trucks where the paint was not properly blended, so we opted to repaint most of the vehicle to blend properly. And since we were already doing such a significant repaint, we had the body shop triple the amount of metallic flake in the paint. So while the new color is still Eruption Green, technically, but it's our own take on Eruption Green!
Pictures do not the color justice, in person there is a HUGE difference in depth and flake in the paint!
Here's a few pics below from when we picked her up from the body shop earlier this month!
Now that she's safely back home and in our hands, the real fun starts!
We are throwing the catalog at this truck so to speak. We're completely upgrading the suspension components and shocks, bumpers, lighting, winch, wheels, tires, performance parts, and more and we can't wait to get it started!
We're still waiting on a few of our suspension components to be back from anodizing and shipped, so we can't get our new girl up in the air just yet, but we're starting off with some cosmetic and performance upgrades for the time being.
This is it for now, but stay tuned for our next update coming later this week!
