Nice Job! I love that dark Blue.

Pretty safe to say the fuse box was ready for a replacement. I kept all the stock wiring but swapped in a centech fuse box.

Awesome color choice! Just what I want mine to look like some day. Is it a stock Bronco color?

Keep up the good work!

Thanks! It's a Ford color but not a Bronco color. Ford DX is the color code.

I haven't posted any updates in awhile but made a lot of progress. Going to get the build thread up to date.

Rebuilt AOD then painted it an aluminum color and gave the D20 some cast iron color. Went back and forth on what color for the transfer case but I believe this is what was factory.

Love it when giant packages show up at the house. What a difference the Billsteins make. There was no recoil on the old shocks.

Bringing some old parts back to life!

I did things way out of order but nonetheless the raptor lining turned out great.

Very nice! Did you paint it yourself?

The color is amazing! I have been trying to pick between blue and the boxwood green. My wife is at the point where as long as I don't ask about the color of the bronco, I am free to do whatever!

Just went through your build thread. You're doing an awesome job man! Love the color too, looks great

What are your plans for bumpers? Plate, tube, stock?

Keep up the good work and keep the pictures coming!

Looks great! Great progress...it's like Christmas when the boxes arrive!

No, I had a body shop paint it. Looks great from a distance, just don't look too close.

Good luck with the color, not an easy decision. I love that boxwood green as well. This is a Ford color DX.

Thanks man. I had the stock bumpers re-chromed. I'll get some more pics up!

Added dynomat in the rear quarters and mounted speakers in the panels. I used a shallow 10" sub with some ring spacers since I didn't want to mount a box in the back. Not a lot of air volume and isn't completely enclosed so It certainly isn't optimal for the best bass but works great for what I need. I copied the courtesy lights from Duffy which I'm going to tie into door switches in the future.

TBP 8 pt roll cage. I wish I would have had specific dimensions on the height of the cage. I probably could have added a couple inches. Credit to Duffy for the dome light idea which is wired in with the courtesy lights.

How much mounting depth did you have for your sub in that location? Trying to determine what sub will fit in that location and my bronco is not accessible right now.

Here is a better view of how I spaced the sub from the panel. I'll find the specific model of the sub I got so you know the depth.
