Re: First Time Bronco Owner - 1969 Bronco
Having all the access, with no front clip is a real game changer! Nice progress!

Very nice build/color, I really like the solid color look on the older cars/trucks.

Re: First Time Bronco Owner - 1969 Bronco
Sweet!
I remember that first glance. I felt like I was opening up the Arc of the Covenant, LOL. Mine has been in and out so many times already, it doesn't even look new anymore.

Re: First Time Bronco Owner - 1969 Bronco
Looking good.
When will it be ready for field trials ?
By the looks of it, we will have to find a challenging trail.

Re: First Time Bronco Owner - 1969 Bronco
Looks like there is going to need to be some fender trimming!

I think "trimming" in this case might mean cutting, Looking forward to seeing what you come up with as I will likely be needing the same trim. What size tire are you running ?

Re: First Time Bronco Owner - 1969 Bronco
I was expecting to have to trim/cut the fenders but I was originally thinking the full widths would help some. Tires are 37 x 13.5.

Re: First Time Bronco Owner - 1969 Bronco
Down side of full widths is they go up as well as out. I had to cut the bejeebers out of mine

Re: First Time Bronco Owner - 1969 Bronco
Haha, shoving a 37" into a stock fender. I'm scared mine won't fit even with the pre runner fenders.

Re: First Time Bronco Owner - 1969 Bronco
The fenders already had some minor trimming to the front and back, guess its time to cut some more. At least all I have to worry about is the outer fenders, no inner fenders, etc. is going to be a plus

Re: First Time Bronco Owner - 1969 Bronco
WH gorilla warflares installed in the "extreme" fit's a 37's nicely. Should only need to massage the inner fenders. Same with the back. Inner fenders could be 2in longer front to back for 37's

Re: First Time Bronco Owner - 1969 Bronco
Jgz makes a large opening fiberglass flair. It's what I have and they fit like a warflare stretched out.

Re: First Time Bronco Owner - 1969 Bronco
Got my flares confused, I will most likely just get the Warflares. For some reason I was thinking the Wild Horses Silverbacks were the Warflares, the Silverbacks are the ones I don't like.
