My story has been posted a few times but I paid a shop to remove the front stripes and replace with the Limited ones I bought, think they were going to charge me $300. The OEM stripes didn't work, they were too light/thin for whatever reason and they looked more gray and didn't match the ones that were left on. At that point the shop had already removed both front sides so I was at quandary, I could have went with UG stripes but the shop wasn't excited about putting someone elses vinyl on and said they could make me a set, so they did. Out the door was around $800 if I remember correctly for their work to replace all the factory stripes, bad part is that I spent close to $300 for the Limited fronts.

So, if you're still with me, what I'd do is find a good shop that doesn't mind putting on the UG stripes and just remove the factory stripes yourself before dropping it off. Depending on where you are I don't think it would be a crazy price and they'd at least guarantee their labor and ensure they're on straight. From there you can put on whatever script you want at whatever price you feel like paying.

Anyrate, good luck and post back whatever you get done!

I have a silly question,
could you not have a professional shop cut out and remove the letters script part out of the vinyl stripe and leave the rest on, then add a metal or plastic script badge behind the front fender ? That might be cheaper the removing the whole stripe and having to replace it.

You do not want to cut vinyl that has already been applied.... Guys who do it usually cut paint.

Saw my first two door heritage, Race Red in Middletown MD today. It was too quick to grab a picture. Not sure if you're in here?

I think Ford gave our Race Red Bronco extra 50 horsepower, or that is what my speeding warning says.

Getting close calendar wise to get the soft top on…I have something I’m looking to do with a wheel option so once I get the softy on and the wheels I’ll post pics. Could be a couple of weeks have to get the wheels this weekend and figure out how to store my hard top.

I'd listen to @5GENIDN advice but no way I'd want someone cutting into my paint. If your plan is to replace the whole thing anyways then I don't see the harm trying to peel it off but odds are it'll stretch and probably break off but who knows.

It happened today. Just in time to head out of town for the week. It will come home on Monday next week.

I was out and about yesterday and usually I get a few comments about my HE but I think this one was the best I've gotten so far ... I'm walking out to my Bronco in the parking lot and a guy in a pretty nice 4Runner with TRD bits says to me "nice Bronco, what year?", I reply back "thanks, it's a 23" and the look on his face was priceless, for some reason it didn't process with him that it was a new one!

I'm retired but I work part time at Lowes. One day a coworker came back from lunch and told me she was eating lunch in her car when a man stopped his truck in the middle of the parking lot, got out and took a picture of my Bronco. He didn't seem to care that he was blocking traffic. She didn't get it so I had to explain that it's a rare model and you don't see them often.

Here’s something different I seen… not sure how I feel about it yet…

Where can I get me a couple of these?

My day finally came on March 13th, it was Bronco day.

The only disappointment I had that day was my 80 yo father that was following its delivery from day one four years ago passed away 10 days prior. He was as excited as I was and couldn’t wait its arrival.

My dad courageously fought stage 4 esophageal cancer that had Mets to his lymph nodes and lungs for 27 months. To this day I have asked the lord why, why couldn’t you have taken him 11 days later!

The day before he passed I whispered in his ear 3 things “you were the best father even hands down” “Please take care of Chi Chi” (my dog that passed in December) “ and “get me my bronco”.

He passed on March 3rd and my Bronco was marked as built on March 4th. On March 5th it was marked as shipped and I took delivery on March 13th. Many say it’s coincidence I call it faith, faith in a father that always swore he would never leave my siblings and I, I guess that holds true even after he’s gone. He is on every adventure with me and will always have a seat riding shotgun in the Bronco.

@laudra Thank you for sharing your thoughts here as you mourn your father's passing. The value to his child, even as an adult, of being a loving, caring and loyal father has been evidenced time and again in recent years.
Today I happen to be on my way to visit my Dad (94 yo) as my first Bronco road trip, about 1600 mi round trip to the midwest, and as I think of him I'll think of you and your father as well. Prayers and blessings to your family.

2 easy questions. Do the 12v outlets turn off when the car is turned off? Most of us put a $100 deposit down when we made our reservation. Did Ford ever refund it?

First question I don't know but the $100 deposit went to the dealer, not Ford, so make sure they account for it when you pay for it.
