    Time to show you guys the latest hotrod I guess :).
    Light, powerful, fast single seater 4400 class Ultra4 rig, based on a real Bronco. I mean, just look at it. The resemblance is uncanny, especially if you focus on the grille letters and ignore literally everything else.

    Features at a glance:
    -One, single seat. No freeloaders.
    -Two versions:
    -Shortcourse.
    -Longtravel.
    -Custom suspension setup:
    -Front: choice of portal hubs (with selectable gear ratios) or standard spindles.
    -Rear: 4-link with trailing arms and reverse-triangulated uppers.
    -Pro4-style engine layout.
    -Big naturally aspirated 7.5L racing motor making over 900 HP in its top-tier trim.
    -Fortin 5-speed sequential gearbox, with torque converter and front output sprag.
    -Fox coilovers, bypass shocks, and bumpstops:
    -Front: 3.0x14 bypass, 2.5x12 coilover
    -Rear (Shortcourse): 3.5x16 bypass, 3x14 coilover
    -Rear (Longtravel): 3.5x18 bypass, 3x16 coilover
    -Wide range of tuning options with custom bypass values for more realistic behaviour.
    -Big Wilwood brakes all around.
    -Detachable body panels.
    -Fuel tanks:
    -Longtravel frame: 200L / 53 gal.
    -Shortcourse frame: 90L / 25 gal.
    -Custom cooling and plumbing:
    -Absolutely massive 31x31" CBR radiator, so you can floor it all day, every day.
    -Various mix of CBR Oilcoolers to cool all components.
    -Lots of custom designed parts, more to come.

    Out now!

    Merry Christmas to everyone, and enjoy the holidays!

    I’m proud to release my Ford Bronco Ultra4 for BeamNG.drive — a fully race-focused Ultra4-class off-road vehicle built for extreme terrain, high speeds, and mechanical realism. This is a ground-up project designed to push what an Ultra4 vehicle can be in BeamNG.

    This Bronco is easily the most highly customisable Ultra4 vehicle in the game, offering a huge range of configurations, tuning options, and component choices.

    The Bronco Ultra4 is a single-seat, 4400-class inspired race vehicle, designed to handle rock crawling, desert racing, endurance runs, and everything in between. It combines massive suspension travel, serious power, and a reinforced chassis to deliver a realistic and demanding driving experience.



    Key Features::

    * Single-seat chassis with Pro4-style engine and drivetrain layout

    * Two main configurations:

    *Shortcourse – compact, agile setup

    *Longtravel – maximum suspension travel for extreme terrain

    * Fully scratch-built 3D model, textures, and JBeam

    * Designed from the ground up with realism and performance in mind

    * Naturally aspirated 7.5L racing V8

    * Nearly 1000 horsepower in the top configuration

    * Fortin 5-speed sequential gearbox

    * Torque converter with front output sprag

    * Large 31x31" CBR radiator

    * Multiple CBR oil coolers for sustained high-load operation

    * At this moment it has got 7 custom skins by @Madiolo .

    Rear suspension:

    * Custom designed 4-link with trailing arms and reverse-triangulated upper links

    * Tuned for both rock crawling articulation and high-speed stability

    * Finished off with all moving parts including limitstraps



    Fox coilovers and bypass shocks:

    * Front: 3.0x14 bypass, 2.5x12 coilover

    * Rear (Shortcourse): 3.5x16 bypass, 3x14 coilover

    * Rear (Longtravel): 3.5x18 bypass, 3x16 coilover
