Ranch hand option is so you can drive around with the tailgate down on the ranch with all your fence posts and everything else you need sticking out the back and still have your spare with you. Love this Bronco and really appreciate the explanation of the engine compartment and all the other great details thanks, Jonathan
Derelicts are always my favorite. Beautiful example. I was just to the point when I thought is he not going to mention the flooring, right when you brought it up. I think that flooring is my favorite part of this truck. Fantastic idea. Every detail works. I hope you're recovery is going well.
Not a Bronco fan but first gen is best and Thank You Johnathan for making that one BadAss and loving ICON and Derelict for these,have a ginormously great day.
Another exceptionally beautiful Bronco. Artfully and tastefully done. Your choice in leather is, as always, on point. Love the carpet pattern. Thank you for sharing this one of a kind build...
I love what you are doing. It reminds me of what I am building but to a whole other level. My car is a 1940 Dodge business coupe with original paint/patina outside and an original looking interior. A home built chassis with E46 BMW M3 suspension/rack/diff. with a B block stroker dodge engine and 727 trans. Appears stock on the outside but goes like hell as some modern Challengers and Mustangs have found out. Keep up the great videos and thanks for sharing. Cheers
Beautiful as always - ' Don't know that there is a safe comfortable solution or that anyone else would agree, but the seat's bulk is out of proportion to the rest of the Bronco. If there is a solution for under $20k, it would seem worth the money.
@@SecurityClearancePodcast It's like plopping an 80s La-Z-Boy chair in mid-century modern living room -Obviously I exaggerate. Also, bolstering and head-rests are useful.
Great build. One of my favorites. Some day . . . How are you all preserving the exterior patina these days? Ceramic or back to clear coat? Or something altogether different? Thank you.
You ask an interesting question about the spare tire on the side of the vehicle. I do not know why; I only know my 1947 Jeep has the spare tire mounted on the side of the vehicle. I also remember seeing 50’s and 60’s step-side pickups with the spare tire mounted on the side of the vehicle. My guess is mounting the spare tire on the side of the vehicle kept the tailgate clear for easy access to the bed of the vehicle.
@@ICON4x4Design I know you said but you could craft the correct lug pattern to look the part and then you’d actually have a usable spare. Thanks for replying. :)
Jonathan, I'm a very, very long time admirer of your products and have watched every TH-cam you've ever done and i have to stay this was your most informative of them all. You have gone over many things you've never discussed before, or should I say that I recall and I greatly appreciate that. Since you were comparing Icon to the "others", may I ask why you don't use the 10 spd Auto that is in the F-150, which is also paired to the Coyote motor that some of the "others" use? On that same topic why not the proximity sensor key with auto unlock/lock and the push button start? I've never seen "cut" rear fenders on an Icon BR, have you done any of those and if so may I ask your thoughts? As always, thank you for the eye candy entertainment and for something to dream to own!
Taylor, we are going to prototype to ICON, Bronco with more contemporary multi speed transmissions. Personally, I have never been a fan of them because you’re constantly feeling shift transitions. In my opinion, they were developed for new productions vehicles to reduce the cost of properly engineering the more efficient engine, by keeping the RPMs in a comfortable range that complied with certification standards. They are also not viably rebuilt, while the ones we have been using can be rebuilt by almost any shop. I might be wrong, looking forward to driving the two samples we are building. Regarding cut fenders, I personally find that the original body shape is perfect, and that the cut fenders lose some of the charm. Additionally, our coil over suspension eliminated the need to cut when putting on larger tire and allowing proper suspension travel. Push start? I feel the old school turn of a key to be part of the charm, and it eliminates a common failure. Thx!
@@ICON4x4Design Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions and to do it so quickly. Interesting you are going to prototype the 10 spd; and I see your point on serviceability. In reference to the cut fenders I'm in the middle, but they do serve their purpose for wider tires. Where I live most have been cut to accommodate them as everyone drives on the beach and you need the flotation as our sand is the type where you need it. I like the reliability of the key ignition but don't like that it's right where my knee would be in an accident in so many vehicles. The push to start isn't the big deal but the auto lock/unlock with the proximity sensor is so nice when your hands are full or it's raining. I was just asking as I assumed it was part of the architecture of the Ford components. Thanks again for making so many wonderful products and such great videos.
Patina(this in particular) is i'll suited and detracts from cohesive synergy of end product. The strict use of rear tear drop fender and never a cut or fender flared, even periodish, is a fail to optimize these builds. Understandably, this plays into the price and demographic of customer base. Ultimately, the sum outcome of these cars is an unfortunate cold, humorless, less fun vehicle, which could easily be avoided. You've done enough of these snob appeal resto-mods, obviously makes no business sense to change course with demand outstripping supply and having to broaden scope of manufacturing demands. After blowing my mind with initial output of these cars, they now underwhelm and bore me, and less sophisticated Bronco builds are much more appealing and evoke a real inspiration and genuine smile. My opinion only, otherwise, kudos to all that's great about your products.

Who's your first call? Icon would definitely be in my top 10 haha.

You, the crew and ICON always bring your AAAA game! Thank you for yet another beautiful example of your art.
Your videos are such a treat. Thank you for what you do.
those rugs are bad ass!
Jonathan, you ROCK!
Not a Bronco fan but first gen is best and Thank You Johnathan for making that one BadAss and loving ICON and Derelict for these,have a ginormously great day.
Beautiful work as usual.
Might be my favorite Bronco you have done. Well done sir!!!!
Sans hardtop tire rack is only downside to this build. Really like the wabi sabi of all derelicts. Thx Jonathan and ICON crew

Too cool! Good for you
Master class. Another killer jacket too Jonathan 👍
Love the attention to detail, the subtle details, the quality. So gorgeous! Thank you for your time.
Thank you for your time too!
Custom rug options are such a cool touch at this level of detail!
Always enjoy your “rants”. Perhaps not a rant if one agrees with you wholeheartedly. Beautiful machine!!
...LOVE the carpet idea!!!

You saying the seats are to big visually?

@@NOXStellans I’ll have to rewatch. Haven’t noticed it before. I think he puts BMW seats in most of his vehicles if I’m not mistaken.
Collaboration with the rug guys is a very cool idea
This is so cool
I remember giving me son, who loves computers, the opportunity to use a rotary telephone. He just stared at it and was totally confused. 😂
I love what you do!!! another awesome vehicle!
I don't envy many toys available only to the rich these days, but man, these ICONs.... 🤤
Awesome bronco rebuild.
I like hydraboost braking, but am now a fan of electric brakes (e.g. iBooster). Great video!
Would you consider making the engine cover out of aluminum and painting it to match the body? Make it a part of the story of the vehicle.
Beautiful bronco!!
Great build. One of my favorites. Some day . . . How are you all preserving the exterior patina these days? Ceramic or back to clear coat? Or something altogether different? Thank you.
love ut. working on my first 66 but may I say my budget is not Phil Knight...needless to say Im still very amped. Just do it!
Awesome build thanks for sharing!
What an absolute beauty! 😊
… Truly a Work of Art!
Beautiful truck! Just out of curiosity, what would a '77(ish) Ford Bronco like this run with these conversions?
I bet that different sized spare is driving your OCD crazy John. It is mine lol. Beautiful truck as always tho.
That carpet is👌.
The rug is my favorite
A blue Bronco, did they spray them any other colour?? I really like the build, excellent ICON design and execution.
A derelict with an automatic seems like such a contradiction.

How about creating an aluminum based plastic engine cover replacement?
Cool as hell, love it .
First on the list once I win the lottery!
I’m thinking maybe put a AC vent into that Airbox for super cool intake Air 😂
Love your work bro
Great video... Thanks
Why wouldn’t you put one your wheels on the back? It doesn’t look that much different.
Won’t fit the lug pattern or offset plus add a bit more weight
@@ICON4x4Design I know you said but you could craft the correct lug pattern to look the part and then you’d actually have a usable spare. Thanks for replying. :)
Great work Jonathan are you doing wood work now? Did you make the stool?
Sounds like ICON is about to redesign engine covers.

Beautiful 😢
What wheels are those?
18” forged aluminum. US made. We sell them on our site
RE spare tire position. Because Jeep had their spares mounted on the side in the late '40s
It's DYMO label.
Vented on the b side? Again in English perhaps?
📷👊🖖😎
You think that’s a blue? I’d call it a sea green or turquoise. You can take back your apologies😂
Commercial overload, products that I would never buy.
Rich guys cosplaying as broke is always crazy work.
$200,000 Bbronco to go with your distressed hat and jeans, disgusting...
Another old Bronco
We need a different car
