My name is Shane Relph, Ive been into off-road and off-road racing since I was a little guy.
My pops and I are building an 84' fullsize bronco that he bought new from the dealership in 1984. "The Beast" has been thru alot even before I got it when I turned 16, we used it mainly to tow our trailer w/ our dune buggy and dirt bikes down to San Felipe, Ocotillo, Pismo, Glamis etc...
When I turned 16, 7 years ago I was given ownership of the Bronco and I beat the living piss of the thing. We lived in Santa Cruz, CA during my high school days so there was not much desert around my area anymore. I would go out to Hollister hills every other weekend and go crawling and muddin, and I would head to Tahoe alot during the winter togo snowboarding. Pismo was only 2-3hours away from SC so we all went there in our 4x4's and I would throw my dirt bike in my buddies truck.
I've since had many had other vechicals but never sold the bronco, know we are building it into a pre runner heres the specs:
