Very cool, can't wait to see you guys compete!!!
Will Ford offer the portal axle hubs to the public? Can I get some forms F-150 please?
Thanks for sharing this. You seem very humble. Little did you know when posting this, you would win the whole damn thing. Well done Team!!!
AWESOME GO FUNHAVER!!! team Bronco kick ass
Awesome job guys. Keep the offroad videos coming dude! Hell yea brother!
This makes me like my 2dr Base Sasquatch even more. It is such a fun vehicle. I've got the 7 speed manual
EPIC! 👍🐴🐴🥌🤟
Looks like a damn blast
Goodluck fellas!
The 4600 is cool can’t wait for the RTR touché
Lmao at the dude trying to get in and you bailing on him 😂🤣
Love the topo graphics 👌
Can you share with me how you mounted that winch and which front bumper is that? All the aftermarket which bumpers stick way out and dramatically reduce the approach angle.
Rad. How stock is stock? Let’s get a walk around.
not stock at all LOL. Awesome setups, but portals, coilovers, custom steering, and who knows what else we cant see yet.
Close to production suspension... LMFAO. Ya, I was digging those production suspension components, especially the tie rods... Oh, wait, that's not production... Just about nothing under the front end is a production suspension component.
4600: Stock class
Stock OEM Frame
Factory Engine
Factory Transmission
35” DOT approved tires
Single 2.5 inch diameter shocks per corner
Mechanical Steering
I’m sorry you don’t understand what means…but yes the vehicle is very stock other than safety equipment.
@@rossomeness3549stop with the BS. That frame is no where near stock with all the additional stiffness from the cage. The whole truck front of the firewall is fully reinforced. I am willing to bet that the engine and transmission calibrations are NOT factory and that I couldn't buy them if I wanted. How much power is that engine putting out? I don't remember any Bronco coming with portals from the factory or those shocks, but that's a close to stock suspension? Right. If the steering is "mechanical" it certainly is not the weak ass steering rack that came stock in every Outerbanks Bronco from 2021-2023. I am also quite sure that my factory tie rods aren't double sheer like the ones on the 4600 truck. Ford didn't spend a year and a half putting together a "stock" Bronco... This has almost nothing in common with my factory 2021 or 2023 Bronco Outer Banks other than the grill. The steering wheel is not even stock... I am sure that it meets the regulations for a 4600 class, but suggesting that this is anything near stock is a complete joke.
@@mpeugeot i’m guessing you think stock car racing meant stock 🤣🤣🤣 stock suspension means stock “style” and mounting points. The requirement is a stock engine and trans, no different than the factory coyote class in NMRA, tuning is allowed, but it’s sealed engine. Somehow, a vehicle you can’t afford has hurt your feelings and you feel obligated to whine about it online, grow up!
Oh please... The only thing that might be stock is the mounting locations. It's not about whether it's affordable, it's about how "close" this is to stock. It's not. I am not whining, I am pointing out facts. You are the one who is butthurt because you are wrong. Just get over it.
@@mpeugeot yeah, not really. I’m explaining why they, the people who own, build and race them call them stock class with stock suspension. I’m sorry that went over your head. Again, stop being butthurt about what it actually means and what you wish it meant.
It'd be badass to see a behind the scenes build series or at least build overview for this class vehicle
Awesome but this defeats the purpose of 4600... meant for the home build and small teams to compete.... not a manufacturer built car
Agree
Built to the same rules. Only difference is IFS so it has portals for more clearance. All stock drive train as well.
It should have not passed tech inspection. The roll cage should have been 2” according to the rules.
@@VaughnGittinJr Same rules, different budgets... But hey, what does the budget matter? Calling that a "close to production suspension is pretty laughable too". That whole front suspension probably has nearly 0 parts compatibility with my Bronco save the pickup points for the upper and lower control arms on the frame, if that.
@@VaughnGittinJr it’s so Ford can pump up their Bronco marketing. Can you remember when you were a privateer? These classes are help people break into the pro classes. Not pros driving manufacturers mega budget equipment in an Everyman class. Congrats to the big fish in small ponds.
Jason Scherer Sighting!
This is so sweet! I would love to see a thorough list of the mods. How possible is it to do this to our own Bronco? Will these parts be available?
The Bronco rocks, but I’m kind of all googly eyed over that F350/405? Service truck you were in front of.
Search for Chase Trucks if you'd like to find more :)
Those surely look like portal hubs in the front
they are
@@minegun3 those are production components too, right? ;)
Let's go 🔥🔥🔥
Less gooo
Fun Fact, I was once asked to pull a 4 Seater RZR out of a building and park it....It had just rained...Needless to say, I don't work there anymore.
(There was no inspiration from cats like Vaughn, and RJ, Etc..)
I'm from brazil fan =)
What sort of upgrades have been done to the tie rods and steering rack? Those seem to be the weak links that most people are breaking on stock Broncos.
This has a custom hydraulic rack setup. People are only breaking those as far as I have seen with 37” tires.
I’d rather have a tie rod break then my steering rack
On his instagram page, you can see these are also running double sheer on the knuckle side. There's a few guys running single sheer with aftermarket/custom rods and running into problems. Fortunately these are pretty addressable problems, and I can't wait to see what the aftermarket comes up with on this. These things rip at the higher speed stuff.
@@jimmbo92 Yeah it will get addressed for sure. Any first year variant of a new platform will have things that need sorted. A friend of mine snapped a tie rod the first time he took it off road. It is a bone stock truck.
@@VaughnGittinJr I rest my case.
Stock Platform. Give me a break. Lets start with the very trick custom one off gear reduction front hubs. That's good for 5.8" of lift right there. It goes on and on. Paddle shift wheel. Not stock.
How about u become a professional driver that does awesome stuff like this and then complain
@jack cavallotto ruined. Oh... ask the other racers. They are very happy to have the class elevated and more eyes on it which will create opportunities for those that seize it. Cheer up!
I raced in IMSA super car and Trans am plus had my own team. How's that.
@@VaughnGittinJr Just for the folks at home give us an estimate of the cost of that race car minus the development cost. I am guessing 200K +
Man, I want that winch mount! Does anyone know where to get one?
why does a stock class vehicle have portal axles if they dont come from factory with them
Vaughn talks a lot like badger from breaking bad
What is the front wheel travel?
what up
They should have put the coyote or the 7.3 L Godzilla motor in the Bronco
Tbf I think by “stock platform” he just means not a tube chassis, thats all. Doesnt mean “stock” or close to stock truck. Im not familiar with KoH classes though so could be wrong.
2.7L mated to a 10R60 is stock, remainder is just about as stock as the rest of the 4600 class
Sadly KOH's 'stock' class just means stock engine block and transmission case, nothing bigger than 35s, and a 'factory' suspension layout. Oh, and stock, unlightened frame rails.
Stock platform.... Plus about 50k lol. Cool rig
Ad another 150K to that
Yep $200k for that.
🇺🇲
Stock portal front knuckles eh? LOL throw $200k at a factory backed truck and put it up against guys in garage built rig that pay out of pocket to race. Enjoy your trophy, you certainly paid for it.
My team intends to race a stock 2dr SAS with roll cage. If we can ever get it shipped from Ford. I am starting to think Ford is holding back the 2dr for some reason.
The Portal part is what makes me scratch my head for "Stock configuration" On an H1 or a Unimog then yeah. Last time I check you cannot get that on the Bronco from the factory than that is just it. The rest is just Ford tossing money at the build. It was my understanding that you can beef anything up and it has to be within 3 inch of stock wheelbase.
That’s just ignorant. Do some research on the parts of the build . Aside from the portals it’s not much different then the other trucks in the class. Bone stock drive train too. Production axles and front diff .
@@VaughnGittinJr Mad respect for you. Love your drifting shows! I am sure you already know why some are not impressed by Fords approach. Yes Jeep did a single Gladiator build a few years back but when 30% of the field is identically built factory clean Broncos hiring pro divers like yourself feel like buying the win. This is pretty much the same approach most race teams or sports work. US buys gold medals in the summer Olympics the same way. The only stock component on the suspension and drivetrain below the transfer case is the front diff? The rest is aftermarket and that is totally normal for all rigs. I understand that. He is not ignorant, just expressing the impression a lot of people watching have.
@jack cavallotto Well maybe not perfectly spot on since it was ford and sponsors picking up most of the bill I'd imagine.
I get it but those rigs are still far and away outside of the spirit of the class. How much do the portal boxes cost? I'd wager more than the guys in leaf sprung 4 cylinder toyotas have in their whole build...
I'd also wager every part of those broncos has been torn down and rebuilt purposefully for racing. I doubt they have $75k pro level wiring harnesses but I bet they ain't show room stock either. The semi trucks of support and men & women to work out of them plus all the pay for employees, food, travel etc. I'd say there is $200k into each bronco EASILY to make this farce happen.
Enjoy the trophy Vaughn. At least in drifting you're on even playing fields. You aren't entering a pro drift car into a lower Daily Drifter class just to thump your chest.
Ford spend a lot to beat some old Toyota and Jeep trail rigs lol.
Not running BFG km3 tires??
Nitto Trail Grapplers👌
@@VaughnGittinJr looks like they airbrushed out the name on the tires.
Is it just me or are his eyes glowing blue
Selling that shit for Ford, making that contract paycheck. Stock suspension lol, common guys...
The geometry is stock. It’s not different then the rest of the truck in the class having upgraded coilovers. Stock drive train, and portals.
@@VaughnGittinJr Thank you for the reply, no argument just that it isn't Stock and there is a lot of other aftermarket parts installed. Love watching you, you are the best!
@@VaughnGittinJr Most of the drivers I employed to drive for me new next to nothing about car design or engineering. I am starting to believe you fit into that category. I talked to the car builder so should you. Reduction front hubs are not stock nor is the Atlas transfer case, nor is the lower and upper control arms, nor is frame reinforcement, it goes on and on. I know the "stock 2dr with SAS would not last 30 minuets on the track. It has to be built out to survive. Just don't tell people it's a stock Bronco.
@@croyco1000 It's just marketing horse shit to sell a bunch of soccer mom SUVs
2:37 someone order a scrambled Vaughn? (Looked like a fairly rough ride) 😳
I can do that in my sleep my talent will never be discovered off roading is my life I’ve had many rigs and done some amazing things
👍
"stock bronco" yet has portal axles and full cage
It looks stock! Except for the interior, and suspension, and wheels, and tires, and steering, and bumpers, and skid plates. But other than that pretty stock!
Exactly what I thought, can't wait for Bronco fanboys to start saying how a stock bronco competed in King of Hammers.
It’s just as stock as the rest of the vehicles in the stock class. They are all built to the same rule book.
@@VaughnGittinJr yeah it’s as stock as it can be and still be safe to race in. It’s just ironic that the stock class requires more fabrication than the average person is capable of.
Only 2 cup holders. I’m out.
Your gonna see theses rolled over everywhere. Needs independent
Why does it need what it already has?
