Liberty Walk's Ford Bronco Widebody: Narrower than a Raptor

author: FutureCar Staff    

Japanese widebody kit maker Liberty Walk, known for its bolt-on widebody kits for modified street Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Nissan GT-Rs, has taken a surprising turn with its latest release. Despite specializing in cars, Liberty Walk has now introduced a widebody kit for the modern Ford Bronco. This unexpected move brings the overfender trend to the realm of trucks, which traditionally have their own history of bolt-on overfenders. The result is a visually appealing kit that adds a touch of style to the rugged Bronco.

The concept of overfenders has evolved over time, often reflecting the trends of widebody kits. Initially inspired by the fender flares of race cars in the '70s and '80s, widebodies went through a phase of fiberglass extravagance in the '90s and '00s before reaching the overfender craze of today. While widebody kits have often been influenced by racing and performance, their primary purpose has always been to enhance the vehicle's aesthetics.

When it comes to the Liberty Walk kit for the Bronco, the unconventional pairing surprisingly works well. Unlike their delicate designs for supercars, Liberty Walk's fender kit complements the Bronco's rugged and industrial appearance. While the exposed rivets and sinuous shapes of the kit may seem out of place on a Lamborghini or Ferrari, they blend seamlessly with the Bronco's design. In fact, the kit looks so natural that it could be mistaken for a factory option.

Although it is one of Liberty Walk's less extreme kits, the Bronco widebody kit has the potential to appeal to a wider audience. Priced at $3,080, it offers Bronco owners the opportunity to enhance the visual toughness of their vehicles with a high-quality fender kit. Perhaps we will soon start seeing these modified Broncos on trails across the United States.
