Bronco off-roading!
At first I just wanted a Bronco body for my XB Landcruiser which had become one of my favorites recently - that is after doing several mods!!
But once I had finished the body I realized that the CC-01 Bronco had a shorter wheelbase than the Landcruiser FJ 40 ...nothing that couldn't be solved of course but still I decided to get a full kit instead! :-)
While my Landcruiser serves as a scale crawler (cr tuned motor etc.) I focused on the faster off road abilities on the Bronco!
Mods:
- rear diff locked
- ball bearings
- 4 link rear suspension
- front skit plate
- side bars
- alternate tires from the CC-01 Black Edition Landcruiser
- upside down Wrangler body mounts (came with the kit) to keep the roof clean!
- interior with driver
- also no decal on the grill, left it chrome but scratched off the paint in the recess areas to reveal the black plastic!
The CC-01 might not be the best crawler chassis out there but it makes for a very capable off roader for sure!!? ;-)
p.s. ...the interior is mounted on a pair of old body posts I had lying around ...and the driver isn't glued (the thing that looks like a belt buckle is a wire that goes straight through the bench seat and can be opened in the back) so it can be exchanged quickly too!

Looks fantastic, great work!

Interior detail looks great and so does the retro paint job. Flying thro' the air makes me assume that your driver has consumed far too many Red Bulls!

This looks great, nice detailing as well. It has a proper old Skool look about it. Fab photos too.

That is superb. Love the Bronco, had one once...should have kept it. What seat and dashboard dud you use? Really suits it, top job!

Thanks for all the great comments! @CARRERA: It's a repro bruiser interior. You can easily find it on ebay!

fabulous, and nice to see a fast(ish) cc-01 I like mine slow as it makes life easier when with the kids but sometimes speed is king!
