The Bronco Fun-Runner LT gets a ridiculous amount of suspension travel and 42-inch tyres

RTR Vehicles and the Fun-Haver Off-Road team combine for this wild Ford Bronco

At last year’s SEMA show, Vaughn Gittin Jr’s companies RTR Vehicles and Fun-Haver Off-Road got together to create the jacked-up, widebody Bronco RTR Fun-Runner.

However, in a very McLaren-esque manner, at this year’s SEMA show we have been presented with the even more hardcore Bronco RTR Fun-Runner LT.

Of course, LT doesn’t stand for ‘Longtail’ in this instance. Instead it should be read as ‘Long Travel’ as the Fun-Runner LT gets portal axles and a mad suspension kit with a full 18-inches of travel at the rear and 16-inches up front. Oh, and there are HUGE 42-inch tyres to top it off. Yikes.

RTR and Fun-Haver claim that the LT is now capable of tackling ‘King of the Hammers-like terrain’ while still remaining ‘road-friendly’. We’re also told that it’ll soon be available for customers to buy.

In addition to the suspension upgrades, the LT gets Fun-Haver fiberglass wide arches, modular front bumpers, high-clearance rear bumpers and weld-on rock sliders. The wheels are 20-inch units (which gives some context to how large those tyres are) and there’s an MBRP exhaust system to allow the 2.7-litre EcoBoost engine to breathe easier.

The whole thing is based on a 2022 Ford Bronco Sasquatch Badlands, although inside the seats are swapped for four Recaros and above the windscreen is a brilliant set of spotlights. There’s also an RTR grille and (thankfully) a new hydraulic steering system that should allow you to turn the wheel with those monster truck tyres down below.

Is the LT your dream Bronco?
