They are building 3, you can't buy it, surprise, surprise!
Was so excited for this today, work turned into a dumpster fire and then I come home and login to see this...
I need to stop getting my hopes up about these "debuts".

There isnāt anything inherently expensive about building a portal axle except for the fact that they just arenāt really common. Most are custom or one offs... if Ford started mass producing them the price could be driven down drastically.I am now over my disappointment and am curious how I can get the portals without spending a small fortune. Super cool stuff! Maybe a lot of this will go on the Warthog so it was kind of like a reveal without guaranteeing us these parts?
I also really hope Ford releases some sort of winch mount like what is seen here. I would go for this in a heartbeat! Only issue would be access to the winch clutch and winch controller. You probably couldn't get to the clutch so you would have to wait for it to unspool under power and plugging in a controller would probably be too difficult or impossible in all or at least most situations, so you would either need a wireless remote or to wire in some good in-cab controls.
It's definitely a slick piece of kit!I subscribed to the 74 welds...that be something I can buy for the future for ol Mae Pearl!

Exactly what I am hoping for. I didn't do a lot of digging, but what I found quickly was complete axle assemblies and those are more than a bit out of my price range. If I can modify what I already have instead of replacing everything, that would be fantastic.There isnāt anything inherently expensive about building a portal axle except for the fact that they just arenāt really common.

Agree insanely awesome! I love researching about it already!It's definitely a slick piece of kit!
They're probably right now trying to figure out how to fit some 30s on that Blazer and make a dirt road version. Just wait.I would humbly offer, if this were GM, uh, you would have...erm...absolutely...nothing. And you would have nothing to complain about, since there would be...nothing.
Love it. Ultra 4 is a really growing series and it hits a good chunk of the country. Way to support a growing series as the ONLY manufacturer to support it. Sounds like they moves their race money from the GT over to the Bronco and made the dreams of 3 race teams come true. Now...If it makes it easier for me to get Ford Performance Parts for my Bronco....even better!
Not sure why you think this is holding you up or that you cant have it. Its a very close to stock bronco (probably badlands based on the OEM factory locking diff in front) with almost entirely bolt on parts. You could duplicate this thing in your garage, which is what makes it cool.Personally, I'm just tired of seeing more stuff I can't have when I don't even know when I'm going to get MY Bronco. The one I reserved 7-8 months ago. The one I need to wait another couple of months to find out how many more months to wait.
Someone broke something, that's fresh spray paint. There's gotta be a story here that's better than the reveal. Perhaps that's why the Yukon jump was taken so slow in the FE on the qualifying lap.
Exactly thisMore likely lower the mount therefore requiring some extra gussets to keep it from folding in half.
