Being that In high school I had a Bronco on 38's Ive always loved broncos. This thing looks pretty sick. If they would only KEEP the removable top this would be major jeep competition. Wouldn't mind having a big ass V8 under the hood either, but I'm sure it will also come with like a 60k price tag. (If it isn't april fools, which now that I saw that it proboly is haha.) Edit again, the more I read this it has to be april fools, Unless they are building a 100K Bronco lol.

Interesting how they report it's coming and another mag I just read stated it was merely a concept vehicle and was already nixed for production. :(

Right on 71luber! Thats a Bronco. My first 4x4 was a 71 Bronco in 85. 170 6 with no power anything. My dad was smart helping me get it because I learned how to work on it and if I ever went much over 55 It got wild. These JK drivers don't know death wobble like I did. It had a half turn of slack in the steering box with a home made 3 inch lift with worn out 33 ground hawgs!

I didn't read the whole article. Skimmed it, barely. Simply based on the other article I read.

Oh yeah, she's got major steering slop. Once it's done and back on the road, steering conversion is in order. Also a 5 speed swap. You gotta hold on to 2nd in the original 3 speed or it will kick right out on you when you let off the gas. Love it though, 300 hp in a tin can.
