Covet thy neighbor's Bronco?

[302fix]

At the risk of breaking the 11th Commandment, here's a provocative question:

If you could have any one classic Bronco other than your own, which Bronco would it be and why??? And we're talking an about an actual Bronco, not a "here's the color/options I want".

Please, let your 'vote' be a complimentary gesture, not one of envy, jealousy, or grand theft ;D

I'll start because Ted's rig is my new template:

 

[bowhunter]

Mine would have to be a very original, very clean, very rust-free, Bill Stroppe bronco. Don't who's that would be......but, I've seen a few on here!

Because, I like the history of the team, the rareity of the Stroppe Bronco, etc.

for a non-stock rig, I'd pick
Coby Hughey's 1973 Black Cloud.

multi port Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection
Detroit in the rear, ARB up front, 4:88 gears
big York compressor and air tank,
custom cantilever pivoting dual front shock mounts
Full exoskeleton
Coby's Twister Wristed radius arms

Don't you already own that Bronco?


If I had to choose somebody else's EB......man, that is a tough one. I would probably pick Karl Bradley's red and white rig. That thing is mean.

 

[trlblazr]

I would have to say, sort of a rat Bronco because mine will be to nice to do any serious four wheelin. I will probably end up with two. What a shame.

 

[Mark]

Don't you already own that Bronco?

yeah, but I thought it was kick butt before I owned it.
Karl's is sweet too!

I'd have to say crawlin68, that rig is sweet

Yeah! Dang whose else am I not thinking of?

 

[yak67]

I'd have to say crawlin68, that rig is sweet

 

[Devin]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. Can I have two? ;D ;D

 

[GnisroH]

I would have to pick one like daduze2's. (Click on photo gallery, and it should be the fourth pic under "Recent Photos" - unless someone has loaded more - it's Yellow/black)

Don't get me wrong, wildly modified Broncos look awesome, but I also love the look of a lifted, mildly modified Bronco. Plus his is the look I'm going for with the front cage/door inserts.

Since I'm in college, I won't be spending excessive amounts of time off-road, so I want something that looks great, is reliable, and will get me where I want to go - on road or off.

 

[Duke Nukem]

That's not a fair question cause there are many broncos that would make that list. Though I will say that ZookBronc's bronco is one of my favorites.

 

[NYLES]

Quit a few out there to many to pick out just one some have this but not that....the choices the choices?

Where's the Bronco? Is it behind that jungle gym? ;D J/K, Where are some more pics of this rig?

Ha! I've heard that before or "Did you just come from a pipe fitter's convention" or "there's enough plumbing to install a toilet" or references to MadMax, etc... I get it, some people like it, some don't. I accept that and take all the humor and cracks with a laugh ;D .
That exo has prevented a LOT of body damage though. I have no fear of body damage on the trails. Very functional in my opinion.
You can check out my gallery for more pics

Well, I think it's cool. Just couldn't resist the temptation though! Checked it out. That much protection could look like @$$. You really made it follow the Bronco's lines well. Nice job. I'd certainly get out of your way if you came up behind me!

 

[eb66to77]

I would have to say BMC69's or Crawlin68's rigs. I have been up close and personal to Bill's rig and get freaking goose bumps. That is a mean machine. I have also followed Pat's buildup and talked with him a lot. Both of those trucks have cutting edge stuff on them and run like all get out. I would be honored to steal either one .

Beside the one I have, I'd like to build an EB that mimics what my Jeep is:

Solid Black, low range, auto OD, 4whl discs, new efficient injected motor, daily driver/offroader, 4" lift, A/C, rustproofed, waterproofed, sound proofed, beefy bumpers, new from the ground up. That's my pipe dream anyway. Probably would end up looking a lot like Ted's without trying.

I agree with you although I deserve no credit, remember this was Coby's rig - he deserves any accolades (the exo is his design and doing).

Blasphemy. ;D

 

[tjstack]

Bax's build looked pretty sweet last time i saw a pic of it.

 

[NorCalBronco]

Crawlin68's, hands down. His has always been my favorite! ;D
