Bronco of the Day: Grabber Blue restomod

 

This restored 1977 Bronco was for sale a while back, so I saved the details for this segment, the words below are from the ad.



Wheels are 35 inch BFG T/A K02 with Fuel Sledge Rims (bought at Discount Tire, and they claim you always get free rotation when you buy from them. I also paid for lifetime maintenance on the tires, which includes lifetime structural warranty, as written on my receipt)

I did an 18 month restoration on this Bronco. All outside and inside body sheet metal was replaced and is new, except the firewall (was in good shape). Doors, tailgate, hood, grill are all new metal. I then had the interior sprayed with bedliner protective lining to preserve the metal and help fight against water, rust, and wear. Now you can spray down the liner if you ever off-road. (pics show new metal prepped for the spray in liner because sometimes people are worried that rust is sprayed over to hide rust, so I took pictures to prove that the metal was replaced/new before the spray in liner was sprayed overtop). Bottom side of all metal was also sprayed with light coat of spray in bed liner to fend off against stone chips and rust.

New fiberglass hardtop from Bronco Design. Roll cage powder coated silver with black speckles.

New door inserts, arm rests, steering wheel. New washer pump and lines. New wiper blades. New heater motor.

Corbeau Trailcat Diamond Stich black vinyl seats, recling, with 3 point harness. Driver seat has inflatable lumbar support and is heated. Low-profile thigh bolster that makes it easier to climb in and out of and aggressive side bolstering keeps you in place, shift-free, on even the most treacherous terrain. The injection-molded foam provides cushion from vibration and great support for your daily commute. Rear seat is flip syle to give you more trunk space if you need it, and from Wild Horses.


Front and rear bumpers are from James Duff and powder coated. Front Bumper was made so you can hide a Warn 8,000 lbs winch inside to look better, but I did not install a winch (easy for you to buy winch and install if that's what you need). Front LED lightbar.
LED front headlights, 7-inch from Wild Horses.

Billet aluminum window cranks.
Satin black mirrors and door handles.
Sound bar, rugged, weather-tight aluminum, marine grade (Powerbass XL-800 27” 8 speaker sound system) which is Bluetooth and super easy to sync your phone to and play music. I also left the “line-in” plug connector on so you can hookup any other device to play music.
