The black one is just a cheapo pepboys $20 cover.
I'll buy that EB cover off you!

Oh because MINE'S not an Eddie Bauer you don't want to see pictures! Huh! Just kidding! I really wish mine was EB though, those interiors make it look so much fancier. I'm working on it though, once I get it fully upgraded to XLT, I'll work on upgrading it to EB. Maybe I'll find an interior like you said on Craigslist and have the money to buy it! I can keep my hopes up.

Mine is identical to yours, not quite as nice though, has 220k on it, spent most of its life up north so the quarters are rusted where the wheelwell trim goes. my interior is pretty good other than the leather on the front seats is torn up. mine is a solid 20 footer, get any closer and it starts looking a little rough. i was looking at the black spare tire covers, pretty reasonable.

If any of ya'll find a set of the EB mirrors with the turn signal mounted in them please let me know. It's the only option that was not installed on mine from the factory but, as I understand, they were an option very late in the production year.

next to the cargo cover the signal mirrors are almost non-existant... but I've seen a build thread on how to modify the existing ones to signal and it turned out great actually...

My bronco was the 372nd build and I figure that it had so many options was because it went to a dealer for a demo model. The cargo cover and mirrors are things that I would just like to have - so I can say "I have them"! I'm just about 150 miles short of 260,000 miles now and I would like to get another 260,000 before they bury this 70 year-old in it...
