So the AMB bronco there, is the FrankenBronco with bronze dash but navy-pier?

Genuinely curious, which engine are they putting in there? They say it's from the EcoBoost family, but nothing more. Maybe they won't tell us because it's supposed to go in the Warthog?

I know last year I watched a video on it and the Ford engineer who was doing engine data testing on it said it was the 2.7.

I wish the 2 door bronco had the Rs wheel base. I think that looks perfect.

Base or Track?

 

[Erasmus]

Base or Track?

wheel base. I like the longer body but don't want 4 doors

The Bronco R is Class 2 (#2021)

 

[Spooled]

The Bronco R is in Class 2

It is powered by an off-the-shelf 2.7 (with a few race oriented mods) and 10R80

Anti-Matter Blue is just too dark for my taste. I actually thought it was Black until the close ups. This makes my Velocity Blue choice easier. Thanks for the pics!!

That R is a thing of beauty!! Best of luck to those guys, from what I understand, you need luck for Baja.
So would any of you run those tires on you street Bronco? Colorful lettering and all?
