Stroppe Bronco modifications so far

[Baja]

Great changes so far to the way Ford should have released them! Removing that Bronco sticker on the side would have been my first action.

As for painting the bull bar, either would look good, paging @EvilJim1971 to show off his half and half painted winch bumper to see if you like.

What else do you have in mind?

Bull bar will be next and then either Amp Research steps or Rough Country electric steps.

Just so you know, those OEM steps/rails are in demand. Don't sell yourself short. You'll be able to name your price. And buyers will be willing to pay the ridiculous shipping.

I will box the original steps up and keep them just in case I want to change it back at some point.

Dude... You know I'm shy and hate attention...
@Baja do you still have your EB Stroppe? You KNOW we will need family photos.
I would have the bar painted, no doubt.
Was the black on the tailgate paint or wrapped?
Love your progress so far.
Hope to see you at one of the Super Celebration events, I'm heading to the Colorado one in September.

We do still have the original Baja down at the lake and it has 80k miles on it. Family photos will be coming soon for sure.
The black on the tailgate was painted, they did Oxford White first on the entire tailgate and Code Orange over the top of the Oxford White. The Code Orange had to be tinted a bit to get a good match on the initial spray out.

Did you get the tire cover from Andrew?

I like the one with "69" on the doors. That was always my favorite number.
I guess because of symmetry or something.

No, since mine isn't an actual Stroppe I wanted as little Stroppe branding on it as I could get and still have it look right. I didn't have any other option on the fender stickers.
I believe that Andrew sells the face of the spare cover that you can use to get a cover made. If I remember correctly he said it goes up to a 35" tire.
I fully agree on painting the sides of the top white, not only is it more accurate... But it just makes the whole things pop even more.
I can't wait to watch your progress on this.
When I did mine a year and a half ago, I hadn't even heard whispers that Ford intended to make theirs.
I'm glad they are bringing the Stroppe name back into the public eye.

And it commemorates the 1969 Baja 1000 win.

Oh yeah, that too.

Would have left the tailgate hinges black.

Flat black.

It took a couple of weeks due to vacation but here are the first couple of modifications on the Stroppe.
Tailgate has been painted to match getting rid of the black.
Bronco stickers deleted on the side.
Original BAJA by Stroppe stickers added to the front quarter panels.
Next up is the Baja bull bar — the question is should I get it painted code orange to match the sides.
Also, I have color matched door handles ordered.

Being a stroppe I would not modify at all

Since you‘ve had your spare off, did you happen to determine the wheel offset?

Standard Sasquatch wheel offset, +30mm.

 

[Baja71]

Standard Sasquatch wheel offset, +30mm.

Great, that's what I figured but didn't see any confirmation. Thank you!

Tailgate is a huge improvement.

Thank you, I could not take the black tailgate anymore.
