Ford Bronco back by 2020

[Diamondpilot]

So it sounds like the Bronco will be a U.S. version of the Ford Everest. 4 doors only. Built to compete with Jeep. Getting back to Ford's roots, since they designed the famous Jeep grill and headlights during the government contracts in the beginning.

That thing looks like a warmed over Escape. No thanks. Make the one that the concept was based on.

Sorry ovrszd, but I do not have any pictures of it to share. There's really not much to take a picture at this time, but here is a few pictures of some of the other projects that we have worked on.

AGRIMAN, is that an Atlas T-case?

I believe you are what us Rednecks here in Missouri call "Rock Bouncers". Love it!!!

I'm not sure there is a "Concept", only some artist's dream.

I'm not famillar with the Atlas T, but the SCS seems to be a different animal. They are built for high HP
and torgue loads. They are also changeable gear and dang near indestructible. They are use in monster trucks, pullers and mud trucks. I'm sure someone has a crawler with a SCS case.

Check out their site. I'm going to read up on the Atlas T. It's a nice looking case. Do you much experience with them?

You got me, I have no idea what a Rock Bouncer is... LOL.

A Rock bouncer is a four wheel drive buggy with a high horsepower engine that drives up a slope that you can't hardly walk up without a rope and they have enough horsepower that the whole buggy bounces up and down as the tires get traction and lose traction.
Often, they will load water into at least the front tires if not all four tires to get the center of gravity down lower so that they are less likely to flip over backwards and go tumbling down the hill. They will also generally run what they call stickies which are a tire with a very soft compound so that it kind of sticks to the rock. They will usually have over built drive trains to handle the shock loads when the tires get traction otherwise they would shred their axles, driveshafts, transfer cases, etc.

Oh, ok sorry. I have never heard them called bouncers. I have always heard them called crawlers.

A rock crawler is usually driven at a lower speed, it is usually somebody driving down the trail and crawling over rocks with friends (and winching up if they can't make it) vs an event where the drivers take turns going up a particular or course (often racing against the clock).
In other words with rock bouncing your sponsor is paying for your broken parts and with rock crawling you're paying for your broken parts.
