Some people build Broncos for looks; others lean hard on capability. The RTR Vehicles and Fun-Haver Off-Road team started with the latter –– but ended up with a great-looking Bronco nonetheless. And if anyone has experience pushing a Bronco in severe conditions and knowing what’s necessary to come out on top, it’s champion-winning pro drivers Loren Healy and Vaughn Gittin Jr., the heads behind the Bronco Fun-Runner LT (Long Travel) project.
Fun-Runner LT – For the Hardcore Off-Roader
Recently debuted at SEMA, the Fun-Runner LT is meant to conquer King of the Hammers-like terrain and showcase extreme-duty parts available to customers.
The team started with a 2022 Badlands with Sasquatch package, the 2.7L EcoBoost engine, and the 10-speed automatic trans, then went to work adding to it inside and out. The result is a build featuring Fun-Haver long-travel suspension, race-winning 74 Weld portals, Fun-Haver spec FOX Performance Elite 2.5 coilovers with 16-inches of travel up front and FOX Performance 3.0 bypasses in the rear with 18-inches of travel, and Nitto Tire 42-inch Trail Grapplers.
“The Fun-Runner Bronco LT is everything we have been dreaming of doing to a 6th-gen Bronco since day 1,” says Healy. “It’s the perfect mix of modern aggressive design RTR is known and loved for paired with the hardcore ruggedness Fun-Haver Off-Road is inspired by! It’s a well-mannered street-driven vehicle that can handle any off-road adventure you can throw at it.”

“We wanted to make this accessible for the 1-percent that dream like Loren and I,” says Gittin Jr. “All the Fun-Haver Off-Road team’s developed parts are expected to be sold and distributed through PROJECT X Off-Road starting Q1 2023. And of course, all the RTR Vehicles’ products are available now if you can catch them while they are in stock!”
