$10,000 Ford Bronco Build-Off: Stock to Monster Transformation

We took two identical Base Model Ford Broncos, two of our best builders from TC Customs, and gave them a strict $10,000 budget to build the ultimate off-road rig. In this video, we put the Bessemer location (Dylan) against the Pell City location (Matt) to see who can customize the best Bronco without breaking the bank. If you are looking for Ford Bronco mod ideas, want to know how to fit 37-inch tires, or are deciding between Smittybilt and DV8 bumpers, this showdown is for you. We break down every part used, the total cost, and the installation challenges, including a tricky tow-hook issue on the Base Model. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS VIDEO You will learn exactly how to transform a stock Bronco into a beast for under $10,000, including the specific fitment guide for running 37 inch tires with a 4 inch Zone Lift. We also provide a side-by-side comparison of Smittybilt Apollo versus DV8 Spec Series bumpers so you can decide which style fits your build best.
