Ford Bronco DR is desert born and bred

Just what the doctor ordered.

I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.

Dubbed the Bronco DR -- for Desert Racer -- this rig has everything you need to take on the Baja 1000 and beyond.

Mutlimatic DSSV spool-valve shocks are here, which should offer excellent control and ride quality.
