That's the ICON Defender, not a Classic Bronco. Fuel filler and slider windows are a dead giveaway for one.

That is awesome! Do you have more details on it?

All this is correct. Since I haven't looked up the ICON Defender in the past, however, may I ask why they felt they needed to dick around with the axles? My guess is that they decided something Dana was a cheap "upgrade" - those are clearly not the original full-floating axles, which while not without problems in shaft size (sometimes) have a very rugged case and wheel bearing.

Nope, just found it on the ICON4x4 website. Looks like Brodieman has more info.

There's a lot that they did to it I don't understand or care for. Which is very, very odd for an Icon product, normally I'm a huge fanboy of their work.

Illustrates to me that the Defender was doing just fine when it left Solihull.

The thing that I wholly agree with is using Series III style/Stage One sliding windows instead of the Defender roll-down ones. Y'need to be able to take the door tops off - this is fact.

Agreed. Which is why the earlier soft top NAS 90's are superior to their automatic trans, hard door, hard roof later model brothers.
