The Buckinn Bronco Build

[CDawg297!]

Hey everyone!
Haven’t posted here for a pretty long time but thought I would share what my build looks like so far. I got my bronco back in August of 2021 and am about to hit 6 months of ownership. I’ve put about 7,000 miles on it so far and could not be happier. I got a 4 door badlands non Sasquatch. Got the V6 and color is carbonized grey. Since I’ve picked it up it’s had some modifications to it and it’s even more beastly than stock! I’ll attach a list of what I’ve done to it below and if you have questions let me know. You can also follow the journey and adventure on my Instagram @buckinn_bronco. Thanks

The Buckinn Bronco Build

SUSPENSION- Fox 2.5 coilovers which gives me about 3” lift from stock
UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS - camburg racing
WHEELS- fuel off-road covert bronze 17x9 +1 offset
TIRES- I started the build with 35” Nitto trail grapplers but just upgraded to 37x12.50 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ P3
LIGHTS- all lights are Baja designs. They are squadron series and onX6 linkable. I will be getting other lights out on soon with my aftermarket bumpers
BUMPERS- will be replacing the stock ones with addictive desert designs stealth fighter front and rear.
AIR INTAKE- putting in a k&n cold air intake once I get it in the mai
ENGINE- installed UPR’s oil catch can system for cleaner air intake and performance. Will be tuning as well once available
EXHAUST- will be putting on magnaflows overland series exhaust once I get it
ROCK SLIDERS- I did have some gorhino steps but they rubbed on my 37’s so I will be getting goat fabrications rock sliders once they allow people to buy them
Paint and windows- I’ve ppf the whole vehicle in xpel and tinted the windows
INTERIOR- nothing new really on the interior. Just have the marine grade vinyl and it’s amazing. In the cargo area I installed a the cargo slide out storage and love it. Carries all my tools and my recovery gear that I need.
EXTERIOR- I also painted my badlands grill matte black for some contrast color from the carbonized grey paint.
FUTURE UPGRADES- I will be possibly installing the advanced fiber glass fenders but am still undecided about it. I will be for sure getting advanced fiber glasses hard top. To get a factory hardtop in the next year is probably impossible. Other then that nothing else planned for now.

Loving the build. Have those same wheels (20x10) on my Ram. Will be getting a set of black 17x9s for when the Bronco is delivered.

Beautiful. Of all your pics I feel this one is truly the bronco in is most natural element!

Love the build bro! I have a question though... I recently did a 1.5 lift front and rear on my sasq bronco, and also went with Mickey Thompson MTZ P3 37 x 12.50 x 17 tires. I'm getting rubbing in the front at full lock turn with any kind of articulation, what do you suggest I do to get rid of that rubbing? I am also on stock sasq wheels. Thanks in advance

I pretty much love everything you did here. Love the wheels and tires, suspension, lift, even the lights. The only issue I'd have with mimicking your light design is interference with a winch, but I love that placement vs. a lightbar above the windshield which is less useful most of the time for wheeling applications.

I've been debating on-board air like I've got in my Jeep. I'm curious what your setup is that you've got there with the hood up and the 4 air-up lines snaking out to the tires, and how long it would take to air up all 4 tires from, say, 12PSI back to 35PSI. Also do you have to give the compressor a break during the air-up?

Thanks for sharing -- REALLY nice.

My TJ on 38s eats gas at the rate of nine miles per gallon. The Bronco is an econo-cruiser by comparison!

P.S. I have a grey Badlands that looks like yours except I'm on the stock wheels and tires (Sasquatch). The 35s looks so small these days. LOL.

SAWEEEEEEET!
hey what did you do with the OEM wheels and tires?

 

[tedweb]

Nice! You mentioned upgrading from 35" to 37" tires. Are any of these pics with the 35" tires?

 

[Lolife]

Beautiful rig.... have you encountered any rubbing at all? If so did you trim?

How did you get the Fox coilover lift? I’ve called about every place I could find online that sells them, including Fox directly, and was told that nobody knows when they will be available. I put a pre-order in through our local 4x4 store with BDS.

All it's missing is a wallet on fire.
