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

author: FutureCar Staff    

Japanese widebody kit maker Liberty Walk, known for their bolt-on widebody kits for modified street Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Nissan GT-Rs, has taken a surprising leap into the world of trucks. Despite having a strong history of bolt-on overfenders, trucks have not been Liberty Walk's focus. However, they have now released a widebody kit for the modern Ford Bronco, which is available for purchase. And it looks impressive.

The overfender treatment has always been a topic of controversy, evolving alongside widebody kits. Initially inspired by the fender flares of race cars in the '70s and '80s, widebodies then embraced the fiberglass bling trend of the '90s and '00s, leading to the overfender mania of today. Throughout each era, there have been exceptional widebody kits, often influenced by racing and performance rather than aesthetics. However, the main purpose of widebodies has always been to enhance style.

When it comes to the Liberty Walk kit for the Bronco, it surprisingly works well. While most of their kits are designed for sleek supercars with distinct design philosophies, the Bronco is a rugged and robust vehicle. Therefore, the exposed rivets and sinuous shapes of the Liberty Walk kit, which might be jarring on a Lamborghini Aventador or a Ferrari F40, complement the Bronco's industrial aesthetic. In fact, it almost appears as if the widebody kit could have been factory-installed.

Among Liberty Walk's offerings, this kit for the Bronco is one of their less intense options but has the potential for mass appeal. Priced at $3,080, Bronco owners now have the opportunity to enhance the visual toughness of their vehicles with this high-quality fender kit. Perhaps we will soon start seeing these kits on trails throughout the United States.
