Baja Bronco Build Is an Amazing Dune Jumper
It features a true laundry list of upgrades.
Expanding Business
The sixth-generation Ford Bronco is an impressively capable machine right out of the box, but as most are well aware, the aftermarket is also chock full of upgrades designed to make it even better. One outfit that sells Bronco parts and builds entire turnkey rides is Doetsch Off-Road, an Arizona-based company that cut its teeth building custom Jeeps, and now has added the Bronco to its list of supported vehicles. It's also the company responsible for building this amazing Baja-style example, too.

Desert Blaster
As a showcase for what Doetsch is capable of doing with a stock Bronco, this build features a true laundry list of upgrades, all of which came about with the intention of creating a high-speed Baja-style desert blaster. And that's precisely what we're looking at here, as this particular Bronco was built around its highly capable suspension setup.

Suspension Upgrades
That setup consists of a Baja Kits long travel suspension and King Shocks adjustable 2.5" coilovers, as well as a BroncBuster STG III steering upgrade kit. It all suspends a set of 20" Fuel forged Variant wheels wrapped with beefy 37x12.5" Cooper STT Pro tires, which look right at home here.

Exterior Upgrades
On the outside, this Baja Bronco looks the part thanks to Rock Slide Engineering steps, Advanced Fiberglass Concepts 5" fender flares and a ram air hood, Addicted Desert Designs Pro Series bumpers, Baja Designs lighting, a Hammerbilt reinforced spare tire bracket, AlphaRex AlphaBlack LED headlights, a backlit Bronco logo from Oracle Lighting, and a satin black vinyl wrap.

Performance Boost
Doetsch Off-Road left no stone unturned in this particular build process, even giving the Bronco a bit of a boost in terms of performance, courtesy of a Corsa exhaust and a VRTuned piggyback tuner, which help extract a few extra ponies for those spirited off-road drives.

Luxurious Insides
The finishing touch here is a totally redone cabin with a Katzkin leather upgrade, giving this Bronco some luxury vehicle-like diamond stitched seats that look rather comfy to sit in - whether you're on pavement or far from it.

Nice Example
Add it all up, and you've got one super sweet Bronco that anyone would love to have in their garage - even if they don't ever plan on testing its true capabilities in the dirt or sand. But on the other hand, it's also a pretty nice example of what's capable with a plain, run-of-the-mill sixth-gen model, too.
