Joined the family this weekend. I'm coming from the vintage Land Cruiser scene (still have my 1980 BJ41), but glad be a part of the crew. Excuse the fender flares...it's a Hawaii requirement to pass inspection. I have a set of RPM's on the way. 2022 7 speed.

Welcome aboard!!! I had a near mint ‘79 FJ40 for 20+ years and loved it but finally got fed up with the whole sourcing parts game when something finally wore out. I had so much fun driving my Bronco when I got it I sold the Cruiser back to the guy I bought it from and have not missed it one bit. Love my Bronco!!

Switched from the base headlights to ones from Ledfactorymart. Huge improvement!!

Thank you sir! 79's are a great year. But you're right, they are a labor of love. I can't see ever selling the BJ41...there's something about a RHD mechanical diesel that warms my heart.

Nitwit those are trick. Nice work.

96k, brought her in for the "100k maintenance". Replace all fluids - 7mt trans, front/rear diffs, transfer case, coolant flush, oil. Replace spark plugs, tune up. I never noticed how rough it idled until new plugs and tune up. Probably should have done this at 50k or less. Hopefully get another 100k out of her.

Edit: in case anyone wants to compare, this cost me about $950 at the dealer. I am happy with all the service performed at my dealer, no complaints.

Thanks! They do quite the light show when unlocking. I didn’t realize you could post videos, too. So here it is.

I didn’t do this today but some of the precursors to the lights was getting how I wanted my Bronco to look

customizing the look

removal of the pinstripe

adding a new Bronco badge from Exotic Innovations

Making the Ford Badge match the new color scheme from KJM Vinyl

And one of my most favorite additions so far is the EZ4x4 rear roof rack/middle roof holder

How hard was it to remove the pinstripes?

Super easy. Just heat up a little with a hair dryer or heat gun. Then just peel. Luckily my Bronco is newish and hasn’t been out in the sun much. So it came off easily
