'93 Baja Bronco starting project

Post by Bobby Velazquez »

Hi, my name is Bobby Velazquez, I live in Mexicali, Baja, Mexico, I'm barely new to this forum, and now I'm the proud owner of a '93 white XLT Bronco that just acquire a couple of months back.... After being in other forums 'cause I was owner of F150s and Rangers in the past, I decide to start a new project, so I just sold my last ride (a Ranger) and acquire a this Bronco... So, here is where a new project start for me and don't know how much time it will take me to finish it... Hopefully it will look like many great Broncos I have seen here... Wish me luck !

These were my two last rides... I sold the race truck a year ago and the white one was sold a couple of months back...

Well, the first change I made some weeks ago was to take out the OEM front bumper to replace it with a valence and the prep for a skid plate.... At that moment that I was working on this, it came to me an offer for a set of fiberglass fenders for a $100 bucks that I can't refused, so they were installed as well to match the valence...

The valence is not completed in these pics....what you are seeing is just a sheet plate as a body of the valence for more resistance....

Now with the fiberglass fenders, it didn't like me how the Bronco looks, so I was looking for set of bigger tires and some wheel spacers to fill the "empty" space in the front. My current tires were 33" and I switched them to 35", and I added a pair of 2" wheel spacers...

I ran those for a few months also early on, after I added my extended beams I moved them to the rear. Looking good.

This will be the plan after I extend the beams and put the rear fiberglass fenders.

Nope, it was mine, I just sold it to my uncle early this year but it was pretty modified when I sell it.... There is one Ranger pretty similar to my ex Ranger owned by a buddy located in Tecate/SoCal that have been posting several pics of his truck in facebook and in different forums... I think is this one...
