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 C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.
