World-renowned custom vehicle builders, Osprey Custom 4x4 in Castle Hayne, North Carolina, are proud to present our latest bespoke creation — a sporty, tough 2022 OC90 Soft Hood – respectfully reimagined in the footsteps of the legendary vehicle we've all seen once or twice on "Wild Kingdom"!

 

Starting with a new galvanized chassis, this ALL-NEW build was completed by our Team in late January 2022. Forward momentum is courtesy of a high-revving, deep-breathing 6.2L Corvette LS3 V8 mated to a smooth-shifting 6L80E 6-speed automatic transmission controlled by a custom PCS® push-button gear selector with LED display, conveniently mounted in the custom center console. The heavy-duty LT230 transfer case with center differential lock (CDL) distributes constant power to all four wheels, ensuring as much of the 435+ horsepower and 445+ pound-feet of ground-shaking torque make it to the ground as possible. Power disc brakes at all four corners ensure stopping is safe, quick, and efficient.

 

The upgraded, heavy-duty TDCI front and rear axles are situated by slightly-taller-than-stock Terrafirma® Pro Sport springs, along with heavy-duty Terrafirma® shocks, Terrafirma® caster-corrected front and cranked rear radius arms, track rod, drag link, and Terrafirma® steering damper, all protected by a heavy-duty aluminum front skidplate. It rides on tough, satin black 18" classic steel wheels wrapped with 285/75R18 Cooper® Discoverer® AT3 XLT all-terrain tires. 

 

The stately Santorini Black body panels with matching wheel arches and trim were carefully mated to the chassis once back from our in-house bodywork and paint shop. The black, powder-coated 4-point NAS-spec roll cage protects your precious human cargo and the tight-fitting soft top with roll-up or zip-out rear windows keeps the elements at bay when needed, or is easily removed when you want that wind-in-your-hair feeling. The front end was updated with a premium grille with black wire-mesh insert, gloss black light surrounds, matching side intake, and forced air wing top vents. The front bumper houses LED running lamps, and the NAS-spec rear step bumper, complete with a 2" hitch receiver, jacking/recovery points, trailer wiring harness, and heavy-duty swing-away rear tire carrier brings up the rear.

​

In the passenger cabin, the modern TDCI PUMA-style dash provides excellent heating and air conditioning ensuring the passenger cabin is comfortable year-round. The interior is complete with Exmoor Trim® XS-spec Black Rack & half-leather heated front sport seats, and four side-facing, stowable rear seats with matching upholstery provide the ultimate in flexibility – seating for passengers or true utilitarian cargo space. The rear passengers are further comforted by rear air conditioning.

​

Infotainment is provided by a double-DIN Atoto® S8 Android-based touch-screen head unit with navigation, Bluetooth®, WIRELESS Apple Car Play®, and Android Auto® integrated into the satin black fascia center stack and complemented by a rich-sounding Rockford Fosgate® 8-speaker array. The leather-wrapped custom center console with a deep cubby storage compartment is equipped with a wireless fast-charging pad, USB charging ports, and aluminum cupholders. The front windows are power-operated, and the Viper® keyless entry and remote starting provide security and convenience. Heavy-duty rubber floor mats protect the front footwells and rear loadspace area.
