Classic Bronco Gets a Modern Update for SEMA

Classic Bronco Gets a Modern Update for SEMA
By Edsel Cooper

There are some folks out there who just can't wait for the new Bronco to hit the streets in 2020. The Maxlider Bros have taken matters into their own hands and resurrected this 1966 Ford Bronco with some very modern twists. Check it out here.

Yeah, the interior isn't too shabby either.
I wonder if that's actually a Sidewinder in there, or just a regular winch mounted either to the crossmember or inside the bumper?

Seen plenty of Sidewinders around here. Back when Vic Hickey was promoting them the Hickey Sidewinder was fairly popular.
Awkward to use sometimes, and more expensive than some, but pretty cool and unique.

Not sure if I ever saw one of the newer ones when Advance was doing it or not. Did they add their own logos or easy to see identification on their version?
I knew Advance kept parts supplies for awhile after it fell through, so they were the go-to source for parts for the older ones.
Eventually even that went bye-bye though.

Good memory to remember Iowa Mold Tooling. Didn't know that one at all.

Nice.... Except for the four doors. I'm thinking the top would look rediiculious.

It's honestly a well done rig, but when the rubber meets the road - I'm not sure a four door Bronco is really "all that". Just my opinion.
