This is my baby. I put years of blood and sweat into building this truck, and it was only built with one purpose, which was to be the nicest bronco on the planet. Whether or not I achieved that goal is subject I guess, but there’s no doubt in my mind that I did.


No expense was spared, and it was purpose built to take on anything you could throw at it, while maintaining driveability and reliability, and being street legal. This truck wasn’t built to sell and turn a profit. It was built for me and I never imagined there would come a day when I would have to sell it, especially so soon after completing it. It only has about 350 miles on it currently.


I have approximately $160,000 into this build and the truck needs nothing except a caring home. The only reason I’m selling is now is that over the course of the last 4 years that

I’ve been building it, I’ve had two kids, and I need something with four doors that’s a little more family friendly.


The list of parts and work that went into this truck is way too long, but here are some of the key features, starting from the ground up.

 

-37” Toyo Open Country tires on 17” Pro Comp wheels

-4 wheel disk brakes

-Diamond Axle housings with 35 spline Yukon axles (front and rear)

-True Hi 9 third members with ARB air lockers (front and rear – these cost over $7000 alone)

-ORI 16” STX struts

-Custom 3 Link Front Suspension with high steering

-Custom 4 link Rear Suspension

-High Angle Driveline driveshaft’s

-Stak 4x4 “B-Box” billet aluminum transfer case with e-brake

-Ford ZF 5 spd transmission

-Custom fabricated frame with incorporated roll cage, shock mounts, rock sliders, etc.

-Custom built front and rear bumper, and rock sliders (one offs, not boughten)

-Undercarriage rock lighting

-Baja Designs Off-Road racing lights (best lights out there)

-Super Winch 9.5 with 100ft of synthetic rope

-Thick gauge aluminum skid plates front and rear

-Thick gauge steel skid plate over transfer case

-Custom built stainless steel gas tank

-Stainless steel windshield frame

-Doors are from a 66 U-13 bronco and are the only ones with removable posts

-New galvanized tailgate

-Custom modified fibreglass body panels

-Can-Back Soft Top made from aluminum and stainless steel, with Sunbrella marine fabric

-Custom stainless steel dash panel

-Classic Instruments “Moal Bomber” series instrument panel

-Tuffy security console with hidden stereo compartment

-Windshield wipers and motor relocated to bottom of windshield with upgraded motor.

-Heated front and rear seats

-MasterCraft suspension seats front and rear

-Dual Optima red top batteries

-On-board air compressor for inflating tires/air tools etc.

-Dart Iron Eagle block 306 (fully built)

-MSD Atomic EFI fuel injection (compatible with NOS or a supercharger if desired)

-Dual fan custom-ordered Ron Davis aluminum radiator

-Ceramic coated custom stainless steel exhaust

 

This truck is bullet proof and has insane articulation yet drives on the highway perfectly. I can let go of the wheel at 70mph with no problems.

 

The bottom line is why buy a Jeep for the same price and have a far less capable vehicle that will depreciate the moment you drive it away, when you could buy this truck which VERY capable, and will retain its value?  I’m eating all the depreciation this truck will ever have.


Better yet, you could get on the waiting list to buy an ICON for $160,000, finally get it, and then have someone drive up beside you in this truck and put your ICON to shame in every way possible. Buy this truck and you will not be disappointed.

 

Not only that, but drive down the road in this beast, and see just how many people you get starring at you with thumbs up and mouths dropping.

 

I’ve already been told by the owner of Bronco Driver magazine that they want to do a cover storey on this truck, but I just haven’t gotten around to it yet, and I’ll leave it to the new owner.  You can show this truck, drive this truck, or abuse this truck… whatever you like. It’s built to take it all.

 

My loss is your gain. NO RESERVE!

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

Jay Leno drives postcard-perfect '32 Ford Highboy Roadster

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

At the turn of the century, it was arguably the Honda Civic that best defined inexpensive performance tuning, and in the '50s it was the Tri-5 Chevys. One of the earliest platforms to gain a huge following among young people looking for a cheap way to go fast was the classic '32 Ford Highboy Roadster. This week, Jay Leno's Garage looks at one of the very first vehicles that defined the look of the hot rod heyday.
This '32 Ford was built in the '40s and graced the cover of the fourth issue of Hot Rod Magazine back in 1948. All of the hot rods that you see shining at car shows today owe a serious debt of gratitude to this roadster. It bears all of the cues that define the look, including a notched frame and hidden door hinges. Under the three-piece hood is a flathead V8 boasting all sorts of period modifications, including copper cylinder heads. It was seriously fast in its era too, and proved it by reaching 112.21 miles per hour on a dry lakebed in 1947.
These days, this hot rod is on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Although, if you can't make it to California to see it, the United States Postal Service is celebrating this Ford with one of its two hot rod Forever stamps. Like Jay says in the video, in terms of hot rodding, "it all comes back to this." Check out the video to learn more about this rolling piece of tuning history.

Ford Australia goes miniature with Beachkhana 1.0 video

Tue, Mar 3 2015

Ken Block's Gymkhana franchise may have started with Subaru, but it's most closely associated with Ford, which the rally star joined way back in 2010. That fruitful partnership has spawned a number of Gymkhanas, and Block even showed up to help introduce the new Focus RS. To honor this, Ford Australia has come up with an adorable parody (for lack of a better word), starring the hero Sun Block. Rather than a full-scale rally Fiesta piloted by a Vegemite-munching Aussie, though, Ford of Oz has gone tiny for its tribute. Really tiny. The product is Beachkhana 1.0 – Wild on the Beaches of Australia, is a funky little stop-motion feature using tiny, 1:43-scale cars in much the same manner as Mr. Block drives his Fiesta rally car. It even pokes some fun at Mercedes-Benz's hilarious Magic Body Control ad. Check it out.
