The Assembly

Remove the protective film

Begin by removing the protective film. Be careful removing the film around the windshield wipers. While working, it would be a good idea to put a soft towel down on your workspace to avoid scratching the body before it hits the trail.

Apply the decals

Once you have removed all the film, choose which color decals you want to use. The Bronco body kit includes full sets of both the red and sunset decals. For helpful tips on installing decals, see the How to apply decals video.

Cut a hole for the tire carrier

Applying the tailgate decal will obscure the hole for mounting the spare tire carrier. Locate the hole and carefully trim the decal using a hobby knife.

Attach the tire carrier

With the decal trimmed, reattach the spare tire carrier. Be sure to line up the inner hardware to keep the screw from pulling through the body.

Cut holes for the side mirrors and doors

Trim holes in the decals for the side mirrors and door handles. It may be easier to find the holes if you trim from the inside.

Attach side mirrors and handles

With the holes trimmed, insert the side mirrors and door handles.

Attach the inner hardware

Attach the inner hardware onto the posts for the side mirrors and door handles. The rubber grommets will keep the parts secure along with the mini clips.

Remove the stock front bumper

Remove the two screws securing the front bumper and then remove the bumper. Don't install the new one until you've had a chance to line it up with the body.

Attach the new front bumper

Install the new bumper and then place the body onto the truck. Adjust the bumper until it lines up with the body and then secure it with the two screw pins.
