If they're everywhere, why can't I post them here?LMAO those pics are everywhere no hiding them now.
I get that, but those pics are everywhere now.Respect. Ford asked. Admin agreed.

Obviously not gonna push it, just was simply asking as the genies out of the bottle
T hat's actually pretty funny because a buddy and I were talking yesterday about how the aftermarket is going to respond to the new bronco. I am very interested in seeing if they go the way that Jeep owners most often seem to be going lately with cheap Chinese crap, bad lifts, and the bro-truck look. I'm sure there will be spoke food products that come out after the release but you can't count on the aftermarket to makes anything but a buck.You should've been there for the 80s, cars were full of decals and fake/non functional stuff all over them.
The saving grace is the aftermarket will take care of the areas Ford screws up or misses.
Yeah, I don’t get the angry grillz - why remove an icon for an comedic eyesore? It is also funny how many vehicles in the east have snorkels when they will never see a dessert to run, nor ford water above the frame rails.T hat's actually pretty funny because a buddy and I were talking yesterday about how the aftermarket is going to respond to the new bronco.

I see two distinct possibilities here:..
I think that your latest rendering is pretty close to what I saw as a raw metal shell on the loading dock.
The uptick in the side panel near the mirror should be the same, and as visible, as the rear uptick behind the door.
...
The hood, for the most part, does not have any rise to it, but rather, the hood side upswoops play a bit more of a design role - similar to the 1960s model - with the main middle section of the hood being slightly lower and flatter than the render. There may be a rise towards the back middle of the hood for a blended scoop.
...
The character line/indention above the rocker panel that runs horizontal between the wheel wells looks very similar to what I remember. It MAY be slightly narrower in height by maybe a half-inch less than what the render shows, and it MAY be slightly lower on the side panel, which would put it slightly closer to the rocker panel.
...
There MAY be slightly less sheet metal between the front of the front wheel well and the headlight/grille. The render depicts a little more front overhang than I remember.
...
The wheel wells in the raw sheet metal shell had distinctive a groove(s) built-in to the steel that followed the contour of the wheel well, which created a metal wheel well lip that stood on its own. Now, whether that groove(s) will be covered with a small plastic lip or larger plastic fender on different trim levels is yet to be seen. The sheet metal did have those grooves in it, and if I remember correctly, there was one deeper groove that defined the protruding metal lip, and another shallower groove that was just above the deeper groove which softened the wheel well look a bit as it blended back into the side panel. So, a double groove around the wheel wells, one deeper and one shallower.
...
I do seem to remember the slight fastback look to the "C"-pillar in the actual sheet metal that you have depicted. Now, whether that ends up in the final production - and to what extent - is yet to be seen.
...
Your latest rendering is basically what my memory tells me that I saw, except for the few small differences listed above.
Exactly, I think you hit the nail on the head!!!2. There is a Ford staffer posting information of the forum under perhaps a dozen different names. Sometimes correct info to fan member's enthusiasm, ond other times mis-information to confuse Ford's competition.
Well looking at this thread I think they've done a great job.Did you ever notice that a new leak only comes out when the thread excitement dies down and goes off topic? We were heavy into covid-19 discussion and all the negative impacts for the economy and the Bronco release and, WHAM, we get spy pics. There is something there there.
