Interior & Badging

The Build

This vehicle came stock off the factory floor just like any other Bronco. It is a 2021 Ford Bronco Outer Banks with the Lux Package, and it is non-Sasquatch. We got this vehicle with just a couple of thousand of miles on it, so it was basically brand new. Our goal with this was to completely transform this Bronco and make it into something completely different, and we wanted to make a vehicle that not only looked good but performed well too. With so many aftermarket parts and products coming out for the Bronco we had many different avenues to venture down to make a badass vehicle. We took some of the best products on the market and brought them into one vehicle.

Lift Kit, Wheels, & Tires

The first thing we did was lift the vehicle. There are a few different options when it comes to lifting your Bronco, but we ultimately decided to go with the best kit currently out on the market, which is Fabtech’s Dirt Logic Coilover Lift Kit

This kit includes their Dirt Logic Coilovers that feature 2.5" shock bodies, remote reservoirs, and they are ride height adjustable
These coilovers allow for increased cooling, more suspension travel, and they overall result in a fantastic ride both on and off-road
This setup eats up the bumps, reduces body roll, and overall keeps this vehicle planted on the ground allowing you to push the vehicle harder as well as creating a nice plush ride
The kit includes chromoly uniball upper control arms and hefty lower links, which strengthens the suspension and allows it to cycle better

This kit also made room for larger tires, in which we went with the Nitto Trail Grappler in a 37×12.5×18 and paired that with the Fuel Offroad Covert finished in a matte black with a size of 18″x9″ and +20mm offset

The Trail Grappler is one of the top mud-terrain tires out on the market featuring both good performance on road an off-road
One of the main gripes with a mud-terrain tire is that they ride rough and are loud. Being that the Trail Grappler is a high quality tire and is paired with the Fabtech kit, the ride is pretty smooth and not too noisy
For wheels we went with the Fuel Offroad Covert in a matte black. We love the design of the Covert, and we were looking for a black wheel to go with the silver on this Bronco
We went with the most conservative offset of +20mm to keep the wheel and tire within the fender, so we would be able to pass inspection. This results in the edge of the tire sitting flush with the edge of the fender

Whipple Stage 1 Performance Kit

This Bronco is equipped with the 2.7L V6 Ecoboost, which pushes out 330hp from the factory giving this vehicle a decent amount of power. However, we wanted more. We thought this would be the perfect upgrade for this Bronco as we did want it to be performance oriented, and it would also help to move the 37″ tires we had installed on this vehicle.

The kit comes with a larger intercooler, new air intake, and a tune. This all helps to allow more air into the engine to create more power
This kit is designed to add up to 50 horsepower and 90 lb-ft of torque to your Bronco bringing total power to about 380hp and 500tq
Whipple is known for making quality products for Ford vehicles, and this kit is also 50 state emission legal and is compatible with over the air updates.

Advanced Fiberglass Concepts 5" Fender/Quarter Kit & Ram Air Hood

Now that we were beefing up the performance of the vehicle, we also wanted to the body of the vehicle to reflect that. This provided a perfect opportunity to use Advanced Fiberglass Concepts new 5″ fender and quarter kit. This kit allows for more tire coverage and more fender well space as well as give this Bronco a more sporty look. Their kit uses fiberglass body panels that incorporate the fender and flare in one panel.

We also installed their Ram Air hood, which is also made of fiberglass. We love the lines of this hood and it pairs well with their fenders and quarters. We had to first put the fenders, quarters, and hood on first to ensure proper fitment. These pieces do fit pretty well out of the box but modifications are needed to get proper lines but that is expected. We fitted everything on with all the bumpers to ensure everything lines up well, and then it was off to paint.

Custom Glasurit Matte Silver Paint Job

Now it was time to paint this vehicle, but we did not want to go with the exact paint job that the vehicle came with. We wanted to go with something a little bit different, so we opted to paint this Bronco a matte silver.

We wanted to go with a matte silver as we wanted something different as we were basically painting the whole vehicle
We were already painting the fenders, quarters, and the hood
We also wanted to paint the hard top, and we also like to color match the grilles on the Broncos
This gave us the opportunity to really give this Bronco that custom look. Most Broncos you see that are matte are wrapped, but not this one. This matte silver finish is painted on this Bronco

All of the paint and body work done to this vehicle was done in house in our own body shop, which is Hyannis Collision

We use Glasurit paint, which is a brand of paint used on many European cars out of the factory including BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche
We paint in our AFC downdraft bake spray booth to ensure a nice and clean paint job
All of this is done professionaly to ensure a quality job and to complete a paint job that looks as if it came like this from the factory

Aftermarket Parts

Addictive Desert Designs Bomber Front Bumper & Skid Plate

We went with Addictive Desert Designs Bomber bumper for the front on this Bronco
We went with this bumper as we like how it contoured well with the front of the vehicle and has a high approach angle helping to give us added protection as well as a sporty look
The bumper also comes with spots to mount 3 Rigid 360 Series lights and 2 Rigid Radiance light pods. We painted the light casings on this Bronco matte silver to emphasize the color scheme of this vehicle.
We also included ADD's skid plate, which we also painted a matte silver

Addictive Desert Designs Bomber Rear Bumper

To match the front, we installed the rear Bomber bumper also from Addictive Desert Designs
Similar to the front, this bumper has a stylish design and built with off-road protection and approach angles in mind
The bumper also has spots to mount 2 light pods in which we opted for the Rigid Radiance Series and painted light casings to match the front
It also provides enough clearance to make it possible to fit a 37" tire on the spare tire carrier

Rock Slide Engineering Retractable Power Steps

Being that this Bronco is now lifted with 37" tires, it can be quite difficult to step into this vehicle
We decided to go with these steps from Rock Slide Engineering as they double both as retractable steps and rock sliders
These steps retract down when the door opens providing easy access to the cab, and they retract back up when the door closes for proper clearance and a nice clean look
These steps also double as rock sliders, so they can take abuse from going over rocks and other obstacles

AWE Catback Exhaust

The stock exhaust on the Bronco's are quite quiet, so we always like to add an aftermarket exhaust to better hear that V6
We went with an exhaust from AWE as they make quality exhausts that sound pretty good on the EcoBoost engines
We went with the Bashguard variation as it is tucked up underneath the vehicle allowing for max clearance when it comes to going over different obstacles offroad

Offroad & Accessory Lighting

KC HiLites Light Bar

KC HiLites Ditch Mount Lights

Rigid 360 Series Lights

Rigid Radiance Light Pods

Oracle Illuminated Grille Letters

Another small touch we wanted to add to this Bronco are these illuminated grille letters from Oracle
They look like the stock letters but also feature a halo backlight that we have set to come on with the headlights
The combination of these lights and the headlights help to create a solid line of light across the front of the vehicle providing a clean aesthetic

Oracle Wheel Third Brake Light

Since we added a 37" tire to the spare tire carrier, the stock brake light was not going to work
We could either get a bracket to extend the light up or go with this third brake light from Oracle that goes within the wheel
We place this light inside the wheel and wired it into the tail lights, so when the brakes are applied the inside of the wheel lights up red, which looks pretty cool at night

Interior & Badging

This vehicle came equipped with the highest interior trim package, which is the Lux package. This high end trim package pairs well with the greatly improved modifications to this vehicle. Here are just some of the features included in the Lux Package.

Heated seats and steering wheel
Adaptive Cruise Control
12" Infotainment Touch Screen
Auxiliary Switch Panel
Quality trim on doors and dash
B&O Sound System

We mainly focus on exterior and performance modifications, but we wanted to put our touch on something in the interior, so we added in these custom leather seats.

These are a set of custom Katzkin leather seats, which feature a brown diamond pattern base and blue stitching with the Cape Cod logo on the headrest
The Cape Cod outline represents the origin of this build as we are located in Hyannis, MA, which is on Cape Cod
The Cape Cod outline also ties in well with the different seaside locations Ford uses for its trims including Outer Banks and Everglades

Another area of badging we included on this Bronco was switching out the Outer Banks sticker for an old school cursive Bronco badge. We love incorporating these badges on our builds as we think it gives these Broncos a nice classy look

Conclusion

That essentially covers everything that we did to this Bronco to make it what it is. Overall, we are very happy with how it came out, and we had a ton of fun building it. It was cool to see how this Bronco transformed from a basic Bronco to a custom performance oriented 4×4 that is designed to dominate whatever terrain it finds itself on.

If you are interested in buying a Bronco or a vehicle in general that is unique and different from anything else on the road then this is the vehicle for you. It will guide your through the beaches of the Cape, the city streets of Boston, and the offroad trails of New Hampshire; this Bronco will bring you to wherever your heart desires.

Also, If you already have a Bronco, we can complete any of these modifications we did to this Bronco to yours as well.
