Well played! I think the only thing I would change on it if I owned it would be color matching the fender flares and new trail sights to the body color. Beautiful bronco-enjoy it!

who you calling old, Mister?! ;-)

good points all! And I think the concept of the badging-if thoughtfully designed-is a good one.

That would mean a Bronco Raptor with a ProCal tune would be a "455". Seems kinda comical for the old timers that relate 455 to big block pontiacs like the Trans Am Super Duty!

no 3.0?

The 2 door base in 1965 was even cheaper! ;-)

No better match whatsoever for the shelter green than the gold wheels-exceptional! Now get that thing muddy!

The exaggeration that you are referring to pales in comparison to the "official" horsepower ratings of several of the late 60's muscle cars!

Don't forget that the 1966 introductory Bronco was a thinly veiled variation of the early 1960's International Scout models. And that's a good thing because it looked good then and in its B6G rendition, that square body style is still a classic.

In open desert running, it has no application for me. However, navigating tight ledge turns in Moab, that's another story. In those tight spaces in a Braptor, it was extremely helpful and most most assuredly not a party trick. The trails will not not get torn up if the feature is used sparingly...

I couldn't disagree more. There are tons of great off roading opportunities in Southern California. San Diego, Imperial , Riverside and San Bernardino counties offer a wealth of trails, rocks and open desert to explore. I have been to Ocotillo Wells twice recently and practically had the entire...

When are you going to have another trail run?

Try Thai Bella. Ordinarily, I am not a fan of most Thai food, but this restaurant makes some great dishes. It is locally owned and the owner is also the chef. Best of all, it is a few blocks off the main drag, so it is quiet and relaxing.

You give them more credit than they deserve. I would call that a simple photo job, not AI.

It looks great! Considering that it does not come off, it better be quieter than the stock top. Enjoy!
