Put a real bronco grill on it and you got perfection!

I think it needs something a little more aggressive that those BFG Rugged Terrains. A little too wussy for off-road, and a lot too wussy for GT500 horsepower on the street. A big oversight IMO.

I wanted to see him drive it. They actually bought a new Shelby GT500 to get the engine for it.
So I guess that's an $80,000 engine. Wow!

Wonder where they mounted the battery?

Well they had the Bronco on display, with a little fence around it...So no crawling under to see what is there.

Suppose to be an episode on Jay L Garage on it, maybe they will say/show more?

From the Blogs it has a Tremec 4050 5-speed tranny and someone made an adapter for it to bolt up a Atlas T-case... Nobody in the booth would talk about that? (Mainly because I don't think they know) Not that anything Tremec makes is cheap, but will open a new option to the 4X world.

Amazing what you can find when you Google something... No mention on the cost though... Guessing that it will be eye opening x:eek:

I've been hearing a bit about this transmission recently. Advance Adapters has it on their site and had one on display in their booth at SEMA (I think that's where I saw it):

https://www.advanceadapters.com/products/26-tr4050--transmission--tr4050--23spl-output--gm-input-/

I don't see an adapter yet for it to an Atlas but I'm guessing one is coming.

The Tremec seems to be more in line with a NV4500 so I'm curious how well you can take advantage of a 760 hp engine with that.
