Do it! Can still be your daily.THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO TO MINE WHEN IT'S NOT MY DAILY ANYMORE!!!
very acurate summation. Thank you. And you are right.... Never going to see it on the lot, but maybe, just maybe through Ford Performance..... Still think it is a good idea. After all, they offer the BRaptor.In summation: @5GENIDN wants Ford to offer 74Weld portals from the factory. With a cool $35k markup (D60 axle, boxed and all the trimmings), that would put the Rocky Mountain starting at $85,495 (BL + $35k). That would be a cool 2dr, no doubt. Cuz it should only BE a 2dr...
Wonder how many they would sell? For a bunch of reasons, I don't see this happening, although I see them being offered on Ford Performance at some point and under warranty perhaps. Cool idea, though. Definitely would love to see a lovingly designed Rocky Mountain model with cool colors and perhaps some nifty mountain graphics.
Damn man! I had no idea your Bronco was such a BEAST!So Ford offers the BRapter edition that is designed for high speed desert running and is pretty darn good at rock crawling.
I think Ford should offer an edition designed for rock crawling and mountain trail running while decent at the desert running.
Desert running requires articulation and the Brapter takes the Bronco to the next level with that long arm suspension and fox coil overs.
Rock crawling and mountain trail running require more clearance, it is performed a slower speeds. Articulation is important but clearance is more important.
Since most Bronco Editions are named after a geographic location I propose this new edition be named the Boulder Mountain Edition.
Besides... Ford already released a rendering of this one back in 2020...
CORRECTION: Ford wasn't responsible for that render. That was the work of Brian. He created the renders for the John Bronco Sells Heritage Edition thread. His work was recognized by Ford's engineers as they contacted him personally wondering how his renders were so accurate before the actual release of the Heritage Edition
And that is the rendering I fell in love with.....
So the real thing next to a raptor....
and next to some Broncos....
Price should be about the same as the BRaptor (at least this one was priced about the same).

It is on Portals. the biggest upgrade in my opinion is one you can not even see.... The Steering rack....Damn man! I had no idea your Bronco was such a BEAST!
What kind of lift and size tires are you running? Looks like it's up on portals.
Very badass!
(Sammy H. reference)
Pics please!
I probably would have gone the same way if I were building one for off road use only.... Sounds like a really fun build.
Hogwash.

What's not accurate?
Good choice on skipping the corvette, I rented one for a week before I purchased the bronco to test it out. While it's a great sports car for the price, it isn't really comfortable for longer than 1.5-2 hours and the programming on the transmission falls way behind what Porsche has done with their pdk programming. And cheers to your bronco, looks fantastic.It is on Portals. the biggest upgrade in my opinion is one you can not even see.... The Steering rack....
That steering rack is a game changer for all of IFS! 74weld is working on a new rack for the Tacos as well right now. The stage 3 is just plug and play. Very easy install, no software involved. It is all about the tolerance of the manufacturing. No lash adjustment because it is so tightly toleranced. That allows a bushing that mounts right where the lash adjuster used to be located; in the most critical position directly behind and on either side of the pinion. The Bushings are an immense upgrade as well. Rather than balancing indentational load deflection, rebound and durability like the mass produced ones, Quinn maximized the ILD and rebound with a polymer that has low durability and then sleeved it with and oil impregnated bronze sleeve so it has even more durability. Then they increased the total bushing surface area by over 400%.... I think it is the closest you can get to indestructible.
I added King coil overs and had them tuned for this truck by Accutune. I had them change the rear digressive valving to linear and then revalve for my weight at each corner. It rides like on a cloud and yet is weighted and balanced and very controlled.
Yes it was expensive but I am an old man and this is my dream car. I would rather have this than go out and buy a corvette... like most of my peers....
I will probably get more use out of it than they will driving 55 in a Vette....

83.5 inches tall and 84 inches wide. and no the 13.5s already "look" skinny at that size. and when aired down, nice big contact area as well.
