I bet you're glad to have that spare tire cover in Rob! It does look brand new. I was thinking of trying to get one for my tires (any ford tire cover)... but my tires are 33" and it might look kinda weird AND there isn't a stock Ford tire cover for that size.. so I think I'm going to have to stick to just washing that tire a lot. It gets really dirty with all the dirt roads I have to drive on.. oh well. I suppose it isn't the end of the world having a dirty spare tire on my Bronco!

I just found out there is a small sewing shop that just opened in town. It's right next to the vinyl graphics shop. I am also running 33's in the summer and 31's for winter. I wonder if I can get the two together? I picked up a stock cover a while back but it was trashed beyond salvage so I burned it. Now I wish I had kept it so I could use it for a template. I bet the seamstress could get her little fabric tape measure out and figure it out for both. Now to come up with a graphic for them. My nickname is Papa. I have a tee shirt with Papa Smurf on it that say's "Big Papa". I'm thinking something like that.

yeah, if i wouldn't have found the EB cover, I probably would have made a custom one also.. you can find decent covers on ebay in the color you want and fit larger tires, then take it to an embroidery shop and add some custom text and stuff...

I think you pretty much have almost everything now except for the cover that fits in the paneling now don't you? Too bad that one guy on supermotors doesn't have that. I'll tell you, it's pretty tough finding the interior trim pieces too though. I've been looking recently for the Eddie Bauer woodgrain trim pieces and they are super hard to find the whole set.

yeah, this pretty much ends my search... and the best part is that I did NOT pay top dollar for any of this stuff...
The cargo cover is essentially a gold mine.. I have found some willing to sell but they are at $500 and UP! I'm not prepared to pay that now....
The search will continue for this one item, just have to find someone who doesn't know whats its worth...

Every once in a while, I come on here and check out some posts. Nice job Rob. Your Bronco is sweet. Alas, mine has been sitting in my driveway for the last year. I had some issues trying to get an inspection sticker, and I ended up just getting another vehicle. I dont have the time to trouble shoot the issues since I depend on it as a daily driver.
Anyways. I took a little too long to let you know that I have a tire cover. I see that you got one already. I have 35's on my Bronc so I haven't used the cover in years. Its actually an EB Harley Davidson one. I dont know how it ended up on the Bronc since it was on when I bought the truck. But it is the exact taupe color of the EB's.
Great job. And good luck for any of your future upgrades.
Oh, and I have one of those holy grail cargo shades. Bought it brand new from a Ford dealer sometime ago.
I have a very old post about it, with the part # and all.

I came really close to buying a shade this week, but it didn't retract, the tube was smashed in two places and one of the end caps were busted. I could have gotten it for about 100 bucks but I chose not to buy it...too rough condition. Anyway, the search continues.

new accessory
wanted to get a wagon to carry my 5yo daughter when going to the swap meets. found a little junker wagon and then I thought to try and make it look like the Bronco.... so a little project was born
.
found some big tires, cut up a old floor mat to line the inside, powder coated a similar red color then painted the beige accent and picked up a roll of pinstripe and added a Bronco EB emblem to finish it off...

I have the same wagon for my son, maybe its time for a little paint project myself. Great idea.
