Funny I just watched this and was going to post it up. Neat video, but probably not high on recommended safety features as promoted on CB. Some decent air with no roll cage:eek: Yes his builds have great upgrades to the suspension, but would the newbie that just bought an old truck know the difference? Can just see someone new to four wheel drives taking off and thinking it’s a good idea.....

Good video. The first picture with the wild Mustangs all running in line would be neat in the calendar.

While I don't mind idiots trying out for the Darwin Awards, I am much less happy if they wreck an early Bronco doing it.

I understand that but it would also kind ruin the look and idea behind that particular bronco to add a roll cage to it. I imagine the owner is a collector of some sort and has driven plenty of cars of different styles and variations.

So cool, I bet it's a blast to drive, then you don't have to worry about paint so much.

It certainly did not look like a comfortable ride. I thought one of the purposes of going with the Art Morrison chassis was improved driving manners - in the video it looks like Jonathan is getting pummeled.

Anyway, kudos to Icon for doing the shoot and raising the values of our trucks. :)

He said it was much hard to build the derelict than a normal BR so how much do you think that one cost?

That doesn't make it safe. Safety first. :cool:
