In the engine bay they swapped a 5.0 L Coyote V8 (Gen 2) capable of 420 horsepower. Behind the motor is a 4R70W four-speed automatic transmission and Atlas II two-speed transfer case. A set of Spicer driveshafts send power to custom Currie Ford 9-inch front and rear axles. <\/p>\n

Underneath is a factory Bronco chassis with Rocky Roads’ 12-inch coilover suspension using King shocks. It also features a Hellwig front sway bar and custom rear sway bar. The Bronco stops thanks to Wilwood four-piston brakes on each corner. <\/p>\n

The body coated in PPG Avalanche Gray paint uses a Legend Hybrid plated steel front bumper with Warn 9500 lb winch and RockSolid rear bumper. A set of Rocky Road’s 17×7-inch wheels with modified hub caps and BFG All-Terrain 285\/70R17 tires complete the exterior. <\/p>\n

On the inside Rocky Roads covered the seats, steering wheel, shifter, and door panels in double-stitched diamond distressed leather. They also installed their Legend roll cage and dash, custom snap-in carpet mats, and aircraft sun visors. <\/p>\n
