Mint Rust Free 1969 Ford Bronco For Sale

If you have been reading Off Road Action for a while, you know that I love early Ford Broncos. This 1969 Ford Bronco is another one that I would like to add to my collection of must haves. The Bronco is 90% original body work with no rust. The only part that has been repainted is the rear quarter panels because of the rocks that kicked up and killed the paint. The owner has done a lot of work and his attention to detail really shows through. I love the colour matched Line X interior and floor. The Craigs List ad has more information and this Picasaweb gallery has tons of photos

Gaucho Jeep CJ Stepside Pickup For Sale!

Back in November 2009, we posted an article about this Jeep CJ stepside truck that us a copy of the rare Gaucho truck, which was built by a California Jeep dealer in the 70’s.

Have You Ever Seen A Willys Jeep 6×6 From The Factory?

I was researching another article when I came across this post on Military Photos.net about 6×6 Willys Army Jeeps. As far as I am aware, the units in the photos were prototypes and they never went farther than that. Can anyone confirm this or give us more information about them?

Want To Explore The San Juan Mountains In An Open Top FC-170 Forward Control Jeep?

I have seen some vintage photos of the red tour FC Forward Control Jeep trucks, but I was elighted to find this article about the restoration of one. The Jeep was found in Colorado and was lovingly restored from the monster truck status you see in the photos below to a period correct San Juan Scenic Jeep Tours company vehicle. The owner finished the restoration within a week of his trip to Colorado and was able to swing by the San Juan Scenic Jeep Tours office to show off his restoration. Needless to say, everyone loved the truck! There is a lot more photos on the FC Connection website.

Vintage Bearfoot & Lil’ Bearfoot Monster Truck Video

Here is an interesting old video of Bearfoot and Lil’ Bearfoot doing some classic crushing. It is so weird to watch these guys crush cars and think that I was in absolute awe of them when I was a kid. Now the video is boring…

Geiger Field, Washington. Officers and men are taught to be on the alert for a gas attack at any time. This jeep appears at unexpected places and sends out a charge of tear gas from the ingenious device attached to the muffler.

1981 Toyota HJ45 Landcruiser Troopy For Sale

This Troopie HJ45 Toyota Land Cruiser from Vancouver, BC is in great shape and is one of the best troopies I have seen. Having said that, I would rather it had the Overland top it was originally outfitted with. It does not matter, though, because it is still out of my budget
