1971 Ford Bronco ICON 4×4 restomod
Jonathan Ward was a guest on Joe Rogan’s podcast, and they discussed his car company ICON.
After that meeting, and fueled by their shared love of cars, Joe commissioned Jonathan to build him a 1971 Ford Bronco ICON 4×4 Retromod. To define retromod, aesthetically the car is the same, and fundamentally it is very similar to the original specs, however every component is updated with the modern version. Joe designed the truck and has great taste, Jonathan said, “If I could afford one of my trucks, I would probably configure it like this”. The truck possesses several aesthetically pleasing features including matte silver finish with ranger trim and architectural glass with a sheen to compliment the body. They were able to squeeze the Coyote 5.0L engine into the custom engine bay, utilizing removable wheel well panels for ease of access when servicing.
To tie the whole build together, they added on a Borla Stainless “Rowdy” Exhaust. Another example of Joe’s soft spot for American muscle in his classic car collection is this next ride..
