Maybe they were "vehicle blind." 👀
I actually thought that at first too. From a distance, mine has confused a few that actually asked to be sure it was a Bronco, but all my badging has been replaced.

I put a hula dancer on my dash, to preempt any ducking. I'll take tikis or palm trees, that's ok.

This is one good looking beast. Tell us about the fender flares, if you please.

What are we supposed to do with these?
Here is WORST CASE SCENARIO.

Ford Bronco My First Rubber Duck? IMG_3415


Imagine coming out to your vehicle and finding this monstrosity... then try and drive home with it sitting on your dashboard blocking 75% of your view of the road...!!!

No thank you... this is a Jeep thing, and a Jeep thing only.
I had a Jeep back in 1989... it was a 1974 CJ5 with a 304 V8. There was no "Ducking" back then.

I truly appreciated the phrase of the two best days of owning a boat or a Jeep, are the day you buy it, then the day you sell it. Mine was a MONEY-PIT!







AFLAC DUCK DISCLAIMER
This idiotic stuffed duck was placed on my Bronco for jest. AFLAC does not promote or approve "Ducking". I also did NOT drive home with this thing in my vehicle.

Thanks man! Those flares are fiberglass from Saleen, hood too. They lightened the front considerably. I noticed at higher speed on a hilly road, the front wants to float a little easier. It makes your tummy tingle again like when you was a kid on the roller coaster!

You need more rake Son.

I purchased mine lightly used, and it was "leveled". When I put about 250-300 lb of animal feed in the back (in bags of course), my front feels "floaty". I have 3" lift and Camburg/Icon suspension, so it's not easy to drop the front, or raise the back to get about 1" of rake (minimum). I stopped using Bronco for hauling animal feed because of that "tingling" feeling in the curves.

I'm coming out of a F250 with a 6.7 power stroke. I had to concede real quick that Raptor suspension isn't designed to carry a load and maintain performance. I'll play with the rake, thanks man!

I have F350 King Ranch Powerstroke to haul feed. I just like to drive Bronco so much, that I've been taking it to town for horse feed (I live 20 miles out of town) for that being the only opportunity to play with it.

What are we supposed to do with these?

I came out from a restaurant eating dinner the other evening and seen this. I sincerely appreciate the respect from a fellow off-road enthusiast, whoever you are, I'm honored. I will grant this one and only duck a seat on some wild rides but all others need a place to go. What do you do with yours? That's a Jeep thing and I'm not really wanting to participate in the dash clutter. This is ducked up stuff y'all!

Probably a jeep owner who doesn’t know the difference between a Bronco and a Jeep. I would toss it 🗑

I wouldn't throw it away. I have dogs, they like toys.

It's a nice gesture from some happy-go-lucky unfortunate soul. I feel sorry for them, and if I would encounter them in person, I'd just smile and say "thank you". Some people are born that way, you can't blame them.

I want to respect the respect if that makes sense, but totally not into that kinda bling for my buggy either.
