There have been so many restomod Ford Bronco models built in recent years that it’s become simply impossible to keep track of them all. However, of those that we have seen, this particular 1972 Bronco restomod is one of the more outlandish.
This particular Bronco has been comprehensively modified by Rock Bottom Offroad in California. Modifications started with the fitment of a new frame before the company fitted new four-link front suspension and triangulated four-link rear suspension. The company has also equipped it with power-assisted steering, Warn manually locking front hubs, Fox coilovers with remote reservoirs, and a sway bar from Antirock.

Making this Bronco really catch the eye is the jacked-up ride height. Further adding to the bold looks is a lovely exterior painted in blue while there is also a black removable hardtop, a custom roll cage, bolt-on fender extensions, and a new fuel cap. Rock Bottom Offorad has also equipped it with new front and rear bumpers, LED headlights, and distinctive taillights. A set of 17-inch KMC Grenade Beadlock wheels wrapped in 37-inch Milestar Patagonia MT2 tires are also featured.
Then there’s the powertrain. Gone is the Bronco’s original engine and in its place is a 5.0-liter naturally-aspirated V8 with a body-colored engine cover, an aluminum radiator, and dual electric fans. This engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and there is also a dual-range transfer case. No doubt adding to the 4×4’s off-roading credentials are Currie RockJob 60 front and rear axles. New brakes have also been installed.
Found in the cabin of the classic Ford are leather-wrapped bucket seats and a removable rear bench seat. It also includes a Restomod Air climate control system and an Alpine infotainment screen.
While restomod Broncos like these are really cool, and no doubt very capable, the fact that this one (like others) will sell for over $120,000 on Bring a Trailer means many of them will probably never actually see an off-road trail.
