I’ve been debating it! hopefully bumper and interior parts will be installed this weekend.

 

[ChompSticks]

Installed mountain2metal panels today!

 

[ChompSticks]

Getting ready to install my Fab fours Stubby prerunner and superwinch SX10SR tomorrow! Installed dynamic diode lights too but I’m a little weary how the output will be since they are quite recessed in the bumper.

 

[ChompSticks]

Got my Fab Fours bumper installed. Not major issues aside from the winch sitting right against the prerunner.

Ran the wires up through the center of the stock grill without having to remove it.

Added the Dynamic Diodes SS3 backlite and their harness. Used their wire tap and harness kit to tap into the pin number nine of the headlight harness, Accessed by removing the fender and fender liner.

Installed the Curt hitch, no issues at all took about 15 minutes.

Driving impressions on stock suspension since I have added around 125 lbs and its a 2 door. It yaws a little in the turns and will nose dive under hard braking. So, originally I was going to do just a leveling kit but I don't think that is the best bet due to all of that. Right now I have my eyes on some 4 door 7mt black diamond take offs. Supposedly its about a 180lb weight difference up front. Hoping that will equate to a stiffer spring rate and help me compensate for the nose dive.

Other suggestions would be great!

so close to my build, I'll be following this to live vicariously!

Nice! What do you have planned?

Nice! What do you have planned?

nothing too advanced...
-oracle's LED flush tails
-possibly their grill letters, thinking of going with FORD painting them red and figuring out something to fill in the unused end letters
-RC hidden winch (but I really like the 4WP bumpers and may get the rear)
-the ADV fenders for the 2 door should be out before I get a VIN
-some faux/pseudo halfcab thoughts, nothing as radical as cutting the roll cage though lol

I have lots of other ideas with chrome and retro EB touches floating around in my head lol, stuff a lot of people will but it'll be mine. Funds aren't unlimited unfortunately so it will be a slow as molasses buildup as I get funds and/or price breaks along the way.

I like the LED flush tails from Oracle. I have not decide on decal stuff yet, aside from protecting the door sills. Eventually I plan on a rocker strip though.

Oo just to put it in your head. I test fitted a F-150 center cap. Doesn't quite fit as I need different lugs. Going to go to the store to see if I can find something that fits and works. There is a gap too but I think I am okay with it.

Nice, center caps are in the brainpan, along with trim rings I have a 36" vinyl cutter so may test out a few designs, for now I've been playing around with one of my diecasts

Thinking of applying grit tape in the door sills, I can already see me slipping and busting my ass at some point before I decide on stirrup/steps, I busted my head on the roll bar getting in a demo the first time lol. Also hoping to find a Badlands owner to swap handles, door nets, and chicklets with.

Yup I have some grip tape too! That is gonna be a bright bronco!

it's just some vinyl I had laying around from a project on my partners car, don't think that much purple chrome would be advisable full scale. More likely to go with something close to iconic silver or carbonized gray since CO is metallic. I've waffled on color a lot but Cyber Orange has been my only color on order since Orange is my fav color, though I wish we had Grabber as an option. Or this, which was just listed as "Orange" on the window sticker lol
