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!

Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.

Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.

Shelby Cobra, Mercedes 300SL and 1947 Woodie from Petersen Museum headed to auction

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

The changes happening at the Petersen Museum have been making the rounds in major press, but it probably won't be until August 18, during Pebble Beach, when we get the full story on what's happening; that's where and when museum reps plan on announcing the way forward for the SoCal institution. In the meantime, the museum is still reorganizing its collection, and that means auctioning some of its showpieces at this weekend's Auctions America event in Burbank.
Three of the stars are a 1964 Shelby Cobra 289, one of less than 20 produced with a three-speed C-4 automatic transmission, a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL owned by actor Robert Stack and the last 1948 Ford Sportsman 'Woodie' ever produced. The Cobra, now restored to its original white exterior and red leather interior, was a factory demonstrator that first sold for $5,250. Showing just 38,950 miles on the odometer, its pre-sale estimate is $800,000 to $1 million.
The 300SL is actually a 1957 model but wasn't titled until Robert Stack took possession in 1960. The lead actor in the The Untouchables TV series used to drive by the Sunset Boulevard Mercedes dealership to ogle the car, but couldn't justify spending the money to buy it. When he and the producer of The Untouchables won Emmys for the show, the producer, who happened to be Desi Arnaz, bought the car for Stack. He owned it his whole life, it has been left as Stack drove it and still bears the California license plate "UNTCHBL."
