While the Ford Bronco wasn’t the first sport utility vehicle when it was introduced for the 1966 model year, Ford could legitimately lay claim to building one of the first true SUVs over 20 years earlier. That ancestor is what we today generically refer to as the “World War II Jeep.” And although most people think of Willys when they think of Jeeps in that conflict, Ford manufactured nearly half of all the quarter-ton 4WDs that served in the war. It was the general public’s experience with surplus WWII Jeeps that started the 4WD craze in the U.S. in the late 1940s and 1950s. By the early ‘60s, the market included various Jeep models, Toyota FJ40, Land Rover, and the International Scout. When Ford decided they might want to enter…

Whether you’ve just purchased your first off-road vehicle or are looking to upgrade the truck or SUV already sitting in the driveway to handle tougher terrain, one of the first modifications often performed is upgrading the shocks. Those looking for premium parts are most likely considering one of two brands: Fox Racing and King Shocks. Fox Racing and King Shocks are the two heavyweights in the off-road racing world, as well as the consumer vehicle segment, with their OE-bolt-on shock packages. In the world of high-end off-road shocks, these two names are polarizing in their followings; the comment sections on YouTube videos and Facebook posts certainly reflect the cult communities of each brand. To get the inside scoop on where one brand stands against the other, we turned to the…

Just outside Salem, Oregon, is a small shop that has been producing stainless steel twin-stick shifters for domestic gear-driven transfer cases since 1995. Since then, they’ve brought a few very special Broncos to life. The shop, JB Custom Fabrication, is owned and operated by Jon and Rhonda Barricklow. The couple are very into Ford Broncos, now with six in their herd, none the same and all custom, or waiting to be customized. Every 5-6 years the couple builds another Bronco, but doesn’t seem to ever sell any. In 2019 they had a bare frame behind the barn and Rhonda declared it was time for another build. When asked what she wanted, the reply was “something that will get out of its own way” and “if I want to drive a…

Traxxas TRX-4 1979 Bronco 1979 marked the end of the iconic 2nd generation of Ford Broncos. Traxxas’ reimagining of the popular ’79 model shrinks down to tiny scale, piloted by high-tech RC technology. With its distinct Sunset paint and rugged looks, the body style of the Traxxas TRX-4 Bronco reflects that of the larger, more luxurious second-gen Broncos, which were some of the most popular models during its original run. Super innovative technology combines with precise engineering to create a completely new breed of scale crawler with this TRX-4 chassis. A rigid steel frame that includes crossbars gives the Traxxas TRX-4 Bronco strength that mirrors the real thing. Complementing the ultra-rugged design is the Bronco’s fully waterproof exterior; not just splash resistant, this mini crawler is prepared for any terrain,…

It all started with a conversation in 2021 about getting outside during the Pandemic. Barry Bonds, one of the greatest baseball players of all time, still resides in the San Francisco area where the city life was a tough life to lead during Pandemic lockdowns. Online Revelations Nobody was immune to the pandemic blues, not even Bonds. Going a little stir crazy just like everyone else, he turned to YouTube to kill some time. Not historically much of a viewer of the platform, YouTube had to come up with some suggested content for Bonds on its own. Randomly, and since its suggestion tools didn’t pick up that baseball videos likely would have been a good fit, a list of videos based on camping and overlanding was served up. Bonds was…

A tornado of dust swirled over the hood as we came to a stop next to an old Ford Bronco with its hood up. A large decal on the door read “Caballo del Diablo,” encircling the number 26, and another decal under the spare tire read “SLAGIATT?” The driver, a cigarette dangling from his lips and a beer in hand, looked into the engine bay and shook his head. “Everything okay?” He looked at us with a ‘What do you think…moron?’ expression, “Don’t know, stopped running.” My friend Jim Harris (aka Uncle Willy), a genuinely good guy but a cantankerous old fart at times, replied, “What’s the problem?” Another stink eye glare, another reply: “Don’t know, stopped running.” He was obviously not a mechanic. Uncle Willy withheld his typical condescending…

In the world of automotive sports, whether it be strip, street, or track, the lightning-fast wonders of yesteryear can often be picked up for a smidgen more than scrap value. They are run hard and put away wet, and when their bodies and frames will no longer support another heart transplant or bone graft, we retire them to the back forty for a multi-decade research program on dust collection. If fortune is with them, they fall into the hands of a collector of vintage iron and live out their days with honor and dignity. Such was the case for the classic Bronco on these pages. It was built by Bill Stroppe while he was leading Ford’s desert racing program. Although they were enjoying modest success, there was a guy by…
