Vehicle Description
This custom 1968 Ford Bronco named "Rambo" is the result of a full
nut-and-bolt frame-off restoration that took several years to
complete. It is powered by a Ford 5.0-liter HO engine with EFI
mated to a Ford automatic transmission that connects to a Dana 20
transfer case, turning the Empire driveline that sends power to the
custom Currie 9-inch rear axle. The engine is cooled by an aluminum
radiator; the engine oil is cooled by a grille-mounted cooler and
the transmission is cooled by a fan-cooled Derale Cooler mounted
underneath. The fuel system is supplied by a electric pump with a
spin-on fuel filter backed by a 23-gallon fuel tank with a skid
plate. The wheels are by method with BFGoodrich All-Terrain
285x17x33 tires. The Wild Horse twin-stick transfer case shifter
allows you to switch from trail mode to highway mode instantly. The
suspension was also designed to give the best on- and off-road
experience by utilizing Wild Horse's Rock Crawler front coils and
custom rear leaf springs. The bumps get smoothed by four Bilstein
remote reservoir shocks per axle, for a total of eight. With the
taller tires and upgraded suspensions, "Rambo" is also equipped
with Amp Research-powered running boards. The body has bed liner on
the inside and underneath with a gloss red paint job. For more
comfort, the Lecarra steering wheel is mated to the Wild Horse tilt
column. The power steering on "Rambo" is tuned to optimize on- and
off-road driving. It also has a full roll bar with padding.
