Although it took five years to create this beauty, you don't need to worry when taking it off-road. This is one tough truck!
Custom Build
The '71 Ford Bronco pictured above looks like it rolled off the production line yesterday (albeit with some major upgrades). This is all down to a five-year-long custom build journey that the owner has been on.

A Real Off-Roader
Even some of the trickiest off-road trails won't phase this restomoded Bronco. It features a Krawlers Edge 4-link suspension system with Bilstein Shocks. It also has custom radius arms, and custom shock mounts. Ground clearance shouldn't be a problem either thanks to its 4 1/2-inch lift.

Power
Propelling this beauty is a 5.0-liter Ford Coyote V8 engine which was installed by BC Broncos. All of this unit's 435 horsepower runs through a 4R70W automatic transmission with overdrive.

It's Tough
Some people might be hesitant to bring such a jaw-dropping vehicle on a rocky trail, but it really was built to go off-road. Underneath its custom exterior, you'll find reinforced steering linkage and full plate protection over the drivetrain.

Like New
Since its build, this Bronco has only racked up 40 test miles. So, if you're the winning bidder, you'll basically be getting a brand new truck.
