big bronco

I remember this Bronco back in the 80´. It was blue and owned by two brothers who rented the basement in my grandfathers house in Akureyri, capital of northern Iceland.

 

[bremsa]

are you talking about "The bronco brothers" ? This one was owned by a guy named Ólafur, (óli í toyota) for many years. The same guy that worked for Einar Gunnlaugsson in Norðdekk,and was in the Norðdekk service crew in formula offroad. The bronco brothers wich I think you are talking about owned another bronco very similar to this one same color combo but a darker blue color

 

[Olafur Hallgrim]

Maybe

I didn´t think we had enough of crazy guys to build a 74 bronco with 460 and unimog axles.
These brothers came from Husavik.

 

[bremsa]

ah u are talking about that car, I miss understood lol there are lots of crazy guys here in iceland.. specially in husavík, my father built that car in 1989 then dark blue with black and light blue stripes, The only one in iceland with 460 and unimog here in iceland. He aslo built anotherone with 429 and unimog (all fiberglass body) but that is a diffrent story. He sold the 460 bronco to my uncle, then my uncle sold it out of town, then in 1997 if I remeber correctly my father bought the car again, switched to c6 from Np435, and later he switched from unimog to dana 60 and air susp, also new heads (429 SCJ) heads and N2o and some more goodies

If you speak two languages, you're bilingual.
If you speak three languages, you're trilingual.
If you speak only one language, you're probably North American.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_axle

There was a guy out here in Minnesota that was running portals on his EB. He had sold them by the time I met him, but I bet it was a beast on the trail.

 

[bremsa]

ah... Niðurfærslur hihi.. yeah that car had portal axles... the diff it self was 3.50:1 but with the portal thing it was 8.61:1 to the wheel

 

[bremsa]

this is my dad.. as u can see the unimog axles make the car a little bit higher than the stock bronco LOL

this plate went on my GT S/C stang have it on my livingroom wall
here you can see it with a full size ram in the center of the pic

full size 74 bronco... 460, c6, nos ,unimog and more

this pic is since my dad built this the first time that was the year 1989 here it is on unimog axles, with 460 and NP435

this red one is just like the blue one when he went in the garage.. from stock to that... lol.. the funny thing is the car was driven in the garage like a normal car.. but my dad had to take the garage door off the garage and break the garage wall to get the car out.. it didnt fit through the garage even if he took the garage door off... (but of course he knew that before building the car) lol

Hjámiðjur

ég held að þetta sé kallað hjámiðjur.

N-America is a big continent but Iceland is an island in the middle of the Atlantic ocean and a part of europe. To adapt to the universe we have to be able to comunicate in english. We also learn danish and some prefer to study at least one more language, for exc. german, spanish or french.
I have had the privilege to stay in N-A. I have spent some time in New Hampshire and also New Brunswick, Canada.

Maybe me and my friend, Bremsa, will come over for a Bronco event in the year 2008;D
