LS-Swapped Bronco: Wilkey’s Supercharged Off-Road Beast!

Picture this: a classic Bronco. Now, throw that image out the window—because Blake Wilkey’s latest build tears up that picture and sets it on fire. His build is not just about car restoration; it’s a full-blown transformation into a screaming, dirt-slinging off-road monster.

Blake Wilkey, the guy who’s always pushing the boundaries of his trucks, just dropped his supercharged LS-swapped Bronco, and it’s a head-turner. Mister Zachary’s recent YouTube video gives you a front-row seat to the madness.

 

 

Under the hood, it’s an LS1, but not just any LS1. Wilkey cranked it up with a Magnuson 2650 blower. “I just ordered a bunch of goodies from Texas Speed to make this thing live under the boost and kind of power that we are looking for,” he said.

From there on, it was clear he meant business. In fact, he’s claiming 380 wheel horsepower, which is impressive.

But it’s not just about raw power. The chassis is dialed. One-ton axles, front and rear, and a custom four-link in the back. It means that this Bronco can handle anything. “It was like riding in any of your other desert trucks right or buggies and like super chill,” Zachary mentioned.

The Bronco just soaked up the rough stuff. Big 40-inch tires on beadlocks, King coilovers—it’s the real deal. “These tires are badass,” Wilkey added, and honestly, you can’t argue. These are the tires that you’d love getting dirty with.

Inside, it’s not some stripped-out race rig. There’s a proper interior, with PRP seats and a killer sound system. It’s built to be used, but it’s also built to be enjoyed. “This thing’s sick, it gets down, I can’t believe how cush it is through like really gnarly rocks,” Zachary commented after an off-road run, and you can feel his excitement.

Wilkey’s build is the kind of project that makes you want to grab a wrench and get to work. It’s a mix of classic style and modern muscle done right. So, what do you think? Is this the ultimate LS-swapped Bronco, or would you take a different approach? Let’s hear your thoughts.
