They need to turn that steering wheel around. Another vote for great sounding exhaust.

I will say the owner of ICON has done his homework, I like the running gear setup, suspension and all. The attention to detail is really good, I dont like some of it but he has put in the time on that build and yes it does sound good.
What really sucks is Ford could build this rig, of course it would not have the one-off machining that the ICON has but the running gear, engine, sound deadening, and heat/air would be easy for Ford to do at a reasonable price and it would beat the crap out of a Rubicon.

That was awesome... I like how Jay continuously blurts out and interrupts the ICON CEO with random geek speak "I notice you have zerk fittings, did the original Bronco come in 4x4?"... ha.. Celebrity star power & legendary auto buff status certainly commands attention!

Jay doesn't do anything for me, after one of my friends had dealings with him. As far as the ICON, did he really say it has a AX-15???

Good video. Noticed one mistake by the ICON guy - he said Ford installed a V8 int he Bronco in response to the introduction of the chevy blazer. The blazer came out in late 67 as a 68 model. The Bronco had 289's in 66.

He does about 35 a year? How the hell do you find that many people to pay that much money for a Bronco?
