1990 Ford Crown Victoria - Trophy LTD - Four Wheeler Network
So now you might be asking yourself why anyone would even consider taking a ’90 Ford Crown Victoria and turning it into a desert ready off-road beast. Jon Baker was quick to respond: “Who wants to see another run-of-the-mill, long-travel Ford Ranger when you can build a four-seater whoop-eater. Jon wasn’t really thinking about ditching the stock Ford mill, but when Ryan called him up to know whether he wanted to change his mind before he started caging the car, Jon decided the 6. 0L LQ9 V-8 was the best bang for the buck to get the big... Of course, you can’t have a car made for hooning if you can’t disturb the peace a little, so Ryan built a custom set of fender-exit ceramic coated headers to give the Trophy LTD the right amount of awesomeness. After finding the right car and hashing out a killer deal of $500, Jon drove the LTD home in the rain and got it sideways more than a few times, but the big LTD held her ground just fine. It wasn’t long before Jon was taking the car out to the desert with his friends. The front suspension cycles 13 inches of controllable wheel travel thanks to the custom J-arm long-travel suspension that uses a Ranger style spindle. Kibbetech made a custom bulkhead that holds the lower control arms but also integrates into the lower skidplate to keep rocks away from the engine and transmission. Source: www.fourwheeler.com
