Ride Details

What was the inspiration?
When we saw that Ford was going to come out with the new Bronco, we thought it would be fun to do a commemorative build to a former competitor of ours, Alma Gates, while also showcasing a new line of subwoofers and amplifiers. We used the thought process of what she might build today with current styling and products.
How long did it take you to build?
With four of us working on it, it took approximately three months.
How long have you been building?
I’ve been working for KICKER for 23 years but have been building custom vehicles since 1996.
Club Affiliations
I’m personally a member of Negative Camber since 2017. (Tim Smith)
Your future plans?
Continue building killer demo vehicles for KICKER.
