1966-1977

Gen-1 Bronco

The Bronco has been part of our family story since 1966, when our Uncle purchased the very first vintage Bronco sold at our local Ford dealership. For decades, we’ve been customizing and building Gen-1 Broncos that blend timeless style, modern drivability, and the craftsmanship Maxlider has become known for.

Built to Lead the Bronco World

Over the years, Maxlider has helped shape the classic "resto-mod" Bronco movement through innovative design, premium craftsmanship, and builds known for their performance on and off the road. Oft featured at top shows like SEMA, Barrett-Jackson, MECUM, World of Wheels, our custom Broncos have earned national recognition—including inspiring the design of the Gen-6 Bronco unveiled by Ford in 2021.

Exterior Options

Bold styling, premium finishes, lighting, wheels, tires, and custom details that give your build a presence all its own—whether it’s parked downtown or out on the trail.

Paint Colors

Every Maxlider Coyote Bronco begins with show-quality paint and body work that will turn heads and stop traffic.  From timeless Ford-inspired original colors to bold, custom-mixed colors, each paint job is designed to give you the Bronco of your dreams. We use the best quality paint products from industry leaders like PPG.

Accents & Decals

Subtle or statement-making, our accent and decal packages are designed to complement each build’s personality. Our heritage-inspired graphics are precisely applied for a factory-level finish. We strike the balance between classic Bronco DNA and our industry-leading resto-mod look.

Soft Top vs Hardtop

You get to choose between the open-air freedom of a full modular soft top or the refined look of a painted hardtop. Soft tops are engineered to be modular and easier to use, while our hardtops deliver a more finished and permanent classic set-up.

Fender Styles

The style of fenders really define the overall look of the Bronco. Whether you prefer the original style of the classic “uncut” fenders or a wider, more commanding stance using fender flares or moulded fenders, each style is designed to create a personalized look to your Maxlider Coyote Bronco. 

Wheels

The “stance” of a classic Bronco begins with the perfect set of wheels and tires.  We offer a selection of premium wheels that complement the overall look of your custom Bronco. Paired with industry-leading tires like BFGoodrich KO3’s and KM3’s, each setup is chosen to match the stance and purpose of your build. 

Lighting

We pair modern lighting technology in our Coyote Broncos with a classic design using upgraded LED headlights, taillights, and markers. Improved visibility, safety, and reliability come standard without compromising the Bronco’s iconic look. Every component is selected to increase the performance and style of your build.

Bumpers

Although most of our customers prefer the look of the classic chrome or black original bumper design, we also offer heavier-duty custom bumpers built for style, and strength.  A functional winch or additional LED lighting are other options that allow you to pick the perfect setup for your Coyote Bronco build.

Trim & Badging

Details matter! Our trim and badging options honor the Bronco’s heritage while allowing for personalized customization. From factory-style emblems to custom Maxlider touches, every element is thoughtfully installed to complete your custom Coyote Bronco.

Modern Upgrades

We integrate modern features without sacrificing the overall look of your classic Coyote Bronco. Features like power steps, back-up cameras, power windows and touchscreen stereos with Apple CarPlay, enhance usability and comfort. The result is a vintage Bronco that performs like a modern vehicle.

Modern Upgrades

Enjoy modern comforts like power windows, air conditioning, heated seats, back-up camera and other advanced electronics. These upgrades are seamlessly integrated to preserve the Bronco’s classic look. You get the best of both worlds—vintage style with modern convenience.

Performance & Drivetrain

Modern power, upgraded suspension, braking, and drivability enhancements come together to create a vehicle that performs as good as it looks—on any road ahead.

Engine Choices (Coyote vs. 302)

Choose between the legendary 5.0L Coyote V8 for modern performance or a BP302MAX BluePrint engine for a more classic feel. The Coyote delivers exceptional horsepower, reliability, and drivability, while the 302 offers a more traditional Bronco driving experience. Both are expertly integrated and set-up to align with your driving goals.

Transmission Types

We offer both modern automatic and manual transmission options to match your driving style. Your engine selection (302 or Coyote) will influence the type of transmission we use in your custom Bronco build.  We will recommend the perfect set-up to make your driving goals a reality.  

Transfer Cases

Whether it’s a rebuilt Dana 20 or a brand new Atlas 2 transfer case, your selection will match your build objectives.  We will review the option with you that best fits your needs to make sure durability and performance are engineered your Bronco.

Fully Rebuilt Axles

Every Maxlider Bronco features fully rebuilt and upgraded axles designed to handle the modern horsepower and torque of your engine selection. Professional assembly and the best-quality components will provide long-term durability. It’s strength you can trust, whether cruising or off-roading.

Suspension

This is where we REALLY stand out!  Over the years we have perfected a suspension and steering setup that is second-to-none in the market. You will get a refined plush ride that allows you to run at freeway speeds without sacrificing off-road capability. Our customers DRIVE their Broncos…A LOT, and that is the biggest compliment we can ever receive. The result is a Coyote Bronco that steers and handles as good as it looks.

Aftermarket Chassis

If spirited off-roading is in your future, a custom chassis may provide an enhanced level articulation and travel.  We utilize high-quality aftermarket chassis systems that provide structural integrity and off-road ride quality. NOTE: There is a lot of misinformation about the usage and need for a custom chassis. We will educate you so that you can make the choice that is right for you.

Brakes

Modern “hydro-boost” braking systems provide the stopping power to match the performance of our higher horsepower engines. Upgraded 4-wheel disc brakes with upgraded calipers provide confidence and control in any driving condition. Safety and performance go hand in hand with every custom Maxlider Coyote Bronco build!
