For the rear im going with Cervinis roll pan, though im not sure the material if steel or fiberglass or what?

Possibly some FORD letter inserts for the tailgate in black:
Black 87 93 Ford Pickup Truck Fleetside Bronco Tailgate Vinyl Letters Decal Rear | eBay

A maghytec tranny pan, and maybe undercoat it at a shop, I noticed just the humidity here in the summer is enough to peek out the surface rust.
What did you do with the original front bumper?

Personally I like the pure flat style I think it would look the best on your truck

omg that is sooo nice, though the chin spoiler would look too "sporty" on a truck like mine, goes together perfectly on yours though.

I like it too Fordboy97 but I keep telling myself the impact strip will help with preventing scratches.

I got the cervinis roll pan, great quality fiberglass with by far the WORST customer service
Also the front bumper flat style from LMC, really good quality as well.









Front bumper brackets and reinforcement plates also from LMC





Custom LED tailights from TCM GLX on the fullsize bronco forum. Just message him for a set. Amazing quality stuff.

Got the bumpers painted, front one installed. Letting the rollpan "cure" as per cervinis instructions.









2 inch brackets to compensate for the body lift



Rear LED tails
