James Duff shock hoops, dual shocks, and 5-1/2-inch-lift coil springs at each corner manage damping duties for the Goodyear 40x13.50R17 Wrangler MT/Rs on Trail Ready bead locks.

A Papaw Motorsports EFI 351 mill sits beneath the hood. Bored 0.030 over and fitted with 9.5:1 pistons, a Comp Cams cam, a Ford Racing throttle body, fuel injection, and rocker arms, this intimidating equestrian puts out an estimated 400 ponies.

The original Dana 44 front axle was swapped out for a reverse-cut Dana 60 out of an F-350. The differential was fitted with a Detroit Locker, which turns 35-spline stub 'shafts and 5-on-5-1/2-bolt-pattern disc brakes. Assisting in directional control is an AGR Rock Ram.

To handle the horsepower, the rear axle was replaced with a reverse-cut Tera 60 stuffed with Moser 35-spline 'shafts, 4.88 gears, a Detroit Locker, and disc brakes.

The clean lines of the front clip are accentuated by a Warn HS9500i and a pair of KC driving lights mounted on a Euro Red custom bumper.

The rear suspension flexes on National springs and dual Wild Horses shocks. Tucked between the framerails out of harm's way are a 3-inch exhaust, a Flowmaster muffler, and a Viair air tank.

The foundation for Bradley's Bronco is an Advanced Frame Works custom mandrel-bent frame. An additional 12 inches in length added under the door produced a wheelbase of 106 inches. An Atlas II transfer case distributes power fore and aft via a pair of Tom Wood's drivelines.

Stretching the body created room for a rear seat and a Better Built cargo box. A fire extinguisher and Hi-Lift jack mount conveniently to a frame-mounted six-point rollcage.
