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!

2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
