What are your thoughts about it?

Front and rear over hang is too big. Broncos are more of a rock crawler type vs baja. So It will need a solid front axle with lockers with at least the travel of the raptor.

I like this concept better than Hennessey suv..

How do you figure? A lot of guys have Bronco's as prerunner's down in Mexico as well as in the state's.

GJMcManus- It will never get built and that's a shame. IMO the Raptor Bronco would out sell the Raptor truck

Ya thats true. I guess its kinda split 50/50 depending on where you live. Pretty much all of them are LIFTED though.

i think what he means is that a "high speed desert" off road truck doesn't exactly embody what the original Bronco was marketed as. It's strengths stock were in the mud and on the rocks. As such, I would expect any Bronco revival to be more of the mud terrain type.

exactly

Wouldn't the new addition of torsen front diff and spotter camera, be more bronco-ish?
Just add (working) electric disconnecting swaybar and built in winch.

And for the old guys manual locking front hubs...

Not every Pre-Runner was a FORD...

I Custom built this 1976 4X4 Blazer for myself to Pre-Run Baja, the Mint 400, the Parker 400 and other races while working at PPI (Precision Preparation Inc.) in 1984. It started out as a 76' 4X4 and I converted it into a 2X4 like the Class 8 Race Truck we were racing at the time. In fact a lot of the suspension parts as well as the engine and transmission were interchangeable with the race truck if needed. It was a Small Block 400ci, Turbo 400 Trans and a 12 Bolt Detroit Locker rear end. I also built the Ford Truck on the cover of OFF ROAD MAGAZINE for a client as a Pre-Runner. I did all my truck fab work after hours while we were building and racing shop vehicles (TOYOTA RACE TEAM) for Ivan Stewart, Steve and Rod Millen as well as Robby Gordon. Does anyone remember, the Mickey Thompson Stadium Short Course Racing. What about Ivan blazing through the Desert in his Toyota?
