I picked one of these up for my 20lbs Fenchie, as she likes to stick her head out the window when we are stopped at red lights to let everyone know she's around, and I do plan on going door-less with my Bronco. So far it's working well, but test will be this summer
As a former Toyota and Ford employee, I will tell you this; I will never own a Toyota, and when my Bronco arrives this year (hopefully), it will be the 4th Ford that will be in my driveway (with hopefully a 5.0L Foxbody coming soon).
All vehicles have holes in the underbody. They are used to set the part in the jig, to allow the piece to be welded to another part, and for drainage when the body of the vehicle goes through the e-coat tank
Unless it's a V8 (or bigger), any mods to the exhaust makes me think you've watched too many Fast & Furious movies, and thought they were way too legit
As a former Toyota employee, there was a joke that went around that if Toyota limited the colour choice to just beige, and told their customers they didn't need any other choices, the customers would still buy it.
Is this a legit thing? I've worked for 2 different auto manufactures, and I can't figure out why they would have 2 different wire looms, 1 for a soft top order, and 1 for a hard top. I don't understand why they would source 2 different parts, as well as limiting the ability of a customer down...
My wife told me to look on Etsy, but I really don't trust some of the stuff I see on line, without knowing someone who will confirm the quality.

I know there is a lot of talk about Bronco (and trim level) stickers & badges, but anyone out their looking for Bronco art or memorabilia? I was thinking some "old school" tin signs, posters, or flags that will get hung up in their garage / work shops?
I didn't think any vehicle built before OKTB / Job 1 (ie pre-production) were available to be registered and licensed for street use (excluding use for press / PR events which are used in contained and controlled environments).
As I have mentioned, I previously worked for Toyota, and convinced...
Couple things;
1. I'd be pissed if I put my reservation in, then ordered as soon as the banks opened, and my dealer got a demo before mine arrived
2. Couldn't the dealer sell the demo the moment it arrived? Both my F-150 and my wife's Explorer were demos
I have a Frenchie who loves sticking her head out the window when we are stopped at traffic lights. She doesn't stray too far away from me, so I'm not overly concerned about her jumping out, but she's also a Frenchie, so she is a meathead, and when my Bronco arrives and the doors come off, I am...
I did work at Toyota's Baja Mexico plant, and their Texas plant (both build the Taco), and can confirm the same mentality exists there as well. Easy to see the TX truck from the BC truck. Stuff that wouldn't make it out the door in Texas was considered excellent in Baja.
You mind if I ask where her Taco was built? I was part of the group that did the 989 Major Model change at both TMMTX and TMMBC, but was only part time help in Texas, where as Baja was my full time gig. I just always check to see where it was built, considering the quality issues Baja always has
I was going to say, when I ordered my OB, I grabbed the keys to a Ranger since both are similar sizes, and it did feel quite small, but my daily driver is a F-150, so....
Probably a rich dude who's wife told him he had to clear out some of his vehicles, so he put this up for sale to appease her, knowing full well no one is ever going to touch it.
If a guy like Dave Kindig built it, I might see a Bronco being worth 6 figures, but this one, not so much
