According to Jay Leno (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/jay+leno/), "The only time people in L.A. go off-roading is when they are about to get a D.U.I." That may be the case, but if you are looking to hit the trails with something inherently tough, but with a classic look, the folks at Icon (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/icon/) are the people to see about it. The builder, known for retro-look off-roaders with serious trail chops, has done its thing with the CJ and FJ. Now the Icon brand (not to be confused with Iconic (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/iconic/) the makers of a reinterpretation of the Shelby Cobra (http://autoblog.com/tag/cobra)) has rolled out its Bronco redeux (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/10/31/icon-bronco-quick-spin-review/), and brought it by Jay Leno's Garage (http://autoblog.com/tag/jay leno).
Icon CEO and Lead Designer Jonothan Ward dropped in at Jay's with one of his creations. Ward explains that he goes around the country looking for rust-free, unmolested Bronco bodies, and fits them to a fully modern chassis. There are disc brakes all around, front and rear lock-on-the-fly differentials and a brand new Ford (http://autoblog.com/ford) Coyote engine shoehorned under the hood. The 5.0-liter mill makes an ungodly sound.
