My wife surprised herself with some goodies for her bronco for xmas.... The only thing that came in so far was her step rails, which I installed xmas day for her.

RC 2" lift kit,
Oracle lighted Bronco letters for the grille.
Romik side steps- Installed
The vintage pin striping
Ford brand bronco rubber floor mats.
She has her wheels scheduled to be powder coated flat black at the end of next week.

She is bugging me about getting her some 35" tires on order right now, I'm trying to do home work on 35x12.5 r17 fitting the factory big bend wheels. I'm pretty sure looking at the back of the bronco I will have to get atleast a 1" spacer for the wheels, but still trying to find out.

Great gifts! Can you share a picture of the grill lights when you install them and let Mr know how hard they are to install? That is something I definitely want to do.

I will, they look like a mild PITA from the how too. I'll take lots of pics.

Also do you need the auxiliary switches for them?

My wife's lift kit came in yesterday. I probably wont put it on for atleast a week or two, got some house work I have to do first. Her retro sticker is supposed to be here today.

I caved and were going to order her tires today. I really like the looks of the 35x10.5r17 Venom Terra Hunter tires, but we will see. Hoping to order them today.

This bronco is my wife's DD and wont see much if any offroad for the next 4+ years. It might take a trip to Big Bend National park or maybe some backcountry stuff in Colorado, but no real hard trail stuff.

We got the vitage stickers installed.... Looks slick. One pic I didn't get was my wife got the blacked out bronco logo on the tailgate... looks good. We kind of created our own easter egg by moving the big bend badges to the lower inside corner of the front doors....

This weekend I am installing the lift kit for her. She ordered her tires, she wanted the Kenda Klevar 35x10.5r17, but they are on a national back order and the only other 35x10.5r17 we could find were the Venom Terra Hunters. They are supposed to be here Monday.

We are ready to get the rims powder coated right now (supposed to drop them off tomorrow), however, I was going to borrow a truck from work for a few days while that all happened and now all of our work trucks are out of town, so I have to either wait or figure something else out.

Got the lift on my wife's Bronco Friday night. Didn't get any during pics or even good before/ after comparison pics. I planned to do the install Saturday, but a group of my buddies and I were hanging out at my dad's shop working on jeeps and my wife came over, my drunk friend was like "LEZ DO IT" and that is all it took and we slapped it on. It wasn't too hard, especially with the lift. However, I think If I did it again I would probably go ahead and take the brake caliper off, we were really pulling hard on the brake lines on the front. The wife got her tires put on Saturday morning and she is absolutely in love, 35x10.5r17 on stock rims! We were going to get the rims powder coated, but now my wife wants to get new rims all together.
