Our Bronco Build
The Fero Machine
This Bronco build has been a 2-year journey. Starting out as an Outerbanks Sasquatch, it's now almost unrecognizable as that at all. It's become a rare breed.
The guiding vision for our Bronco from day one was to create a dark, aggressive, retro-modern and tactical build with subtle contrast and intentional juxtaposition between clean lines and an aggressive stance. To me, this is what the ultimate FERO MACHINE looks like.
I couldn't have dreamed of this build without our incredible build partners. Their time, expertise, advice, products and help all around made it a reality.
Thanks for following along. Keep scrolling to see the full build list!
Thank you to our badass
Build Partners
Build Partner
Texas Motorworx
These guys did most of the heavy lifting on our build, including installation of tires, wheels, suspension, control arms and lighting. They do incredible work and are highly recommended.
Build Partner + Paint Finish
Starwood Motors Signature Finish
The world-renown Starwood Signature Finish in Ford's Magnetic Metallic is the ultimate bed-liner style paint. Starwood also partnered with us on several big installs including fiberglass components, bumpers and side steps. Highly recommended.
Hood
Advanced Fiberglass Ram Air Hood
Aggressive style and superb build quality. Honestly, we wouldn't be surprised if it added 100 HP too.
Fenders
Advanced Fiberglass 2" Fender Kit
Throw it back to the early Bronco with this aggressive and retro-modern silhouette. This is what the Bronco should have come with from factory.
Front Bumper
Addictive Desert Designs Pro Bolt-on Bumper
The sexiest bumpers anywhere with unmatched approach and departure angles. Plus they utilize all the OEM sensors.
Rear Bumper
Addictive Desert Designs Pro Bolt-on Bumper
The sexiest bumpers anywhere with unmatched approach and departure angles. Plus they utilize all the OEM sensors.
Side Steps
DV8 OE Plus Side Steps
Compliments the ADD Pro bumpers' tubular style, provides a grippy step and some light protection on the trails. Yes, we actually use them as steps!
Tires: 37x12.50R17
Toyo Open Country M/T
The iconic, aggressive off-road tire with just the right amount of contrast against the clean fender lines. Fully capable of making roads out of nothing.
Wheels: 17x8.5 ET 0
Fifteen52 Analog HD
A modern take on the classic steelie. This is the best-looking, retro-modern wheel in existence and the perfect pairing for a 6th Gen Bronco in our humble but accurate opinion.
Suspension
King 2.5" Coilovers w/ Adjusters
Legendary shocks. We're rockin' some of the first ones ever made for the 6th Gen Bronco.
Control Arms
Camburg KINETIK Billet UCAs and Trailing Arms
Made in the U.S. from 6061 Billet Aluminum, these beastly arms bring all the control and rockstar vibes to the Bronco's suspension. If you're upgrading coilovers, these are a must.
Exhaust / Intake
Roush Axle-Back Exhaust System
We have a new favorite sound. This is it. Every acceleration now comes with a growl and a smile.
Performance
Roush Air Induction System
Give the engine an extra breath of fresh air and a pro performance look.
Roof Lights
Baja Designs XL Linkable Roof Mount Light Kit
Light em up! Just don't do it while driving on roads.
Bumper Lights
Baja Designs Squadron Sports + Squadron SAE 2.0 Fog Lights
These pair perfectly with the ADD Pro Bumper and throw a ton of light together. 3 for off-road use and 2 for on-road.
No rig is built alone
I couldn't have dreamed of this Bronco build without these incredible partners and sponsors. Their time, expertise, advice, products and help all around made it a reality.
The brands and products listed here are the best of the best, hands down. Though most parts were sponsored or discounted heavily, I made ZERO compromises. I turned down many, many offers from other brands because their products didn't fit this vision, and waited patiently for the right partners until it all came together. I hope you've enjoyed watching this build come together as much as I've enjoyed guiding it.
No rig is built alone, and I'm grateful to the people and brands that made it possible.
I'm especially grateful to Jason Cook of Texas Motorworx, John Pangilinan (Toyo, Fifteen52 and Pelican) and Jerry Zaidon of Camburg Racing. These guys are legends in this industry, and spent countless hours with me, giving me advice and helping me dial in this build. They each showed incredible patience with me as asked hundreds of questions. When I started this build, I was a newbie to offroading and vehicle modification and their guidance is hugely responsible for where I am today.
