This is my 95 Bronco that I am offering for sale. It is a former LMC Truck catalog cover vehicle and one of only a few 2WD Broncos that I know even exist. It is a custom build due to the fact that it no longer is 4WD. All of the 4wd suspension was removed and replaced with 2WD suspension. The front I beams were replaced with Belltech I beams and shocks for a Lowered stance in the front along with Lightning truck coil springs for another inch of drop. The vehicle has all new ball joints and I beam pivot bushings within the last 2 months, as were the front calipers, rotors and brake pads. The rear was lowered by relocating the rear axle to the top of the leaf springs and the vehicle frame has been professionally C-notched for axle clearance, it does bounce around in the back whenever you hit a good bump so I would believe it needs rear shocks. The transmission was then replaced with a 2wd transmission and a driveshaft was custom made due to the new length requirement.  The front seats were then replace via Lightning truck seats and the center console was replaced with the center jump seat. The rear bench seat was then sent out and recovered so that it matches the front seats. The door panels on the truck are also starting to show their age and the door panel switch bezels on both sides keep popping up, so the vehicle will need the panels replaced. The paint on the truck is original paint, meaning it does have scratches and dings. The rear bumper looks to need alignment  and does need the top pad replaced. The tailgate has the worst wear on it, it has a lot of dings in it and a stress crack on the right side of it. I had planed on just replacing the tailgate with a new shell when I repainted it. It does clean up nicely and shines real well but in my opinion it need to be redone to be really nice. The front chin spoiler is a factory Lightning piece (just recently painted) and original Lightning fog light brackets were installed for mounting the original style fog lamps. The wheels are chromed factory Lightning wheels with the center caps needing to be redone. The truck runs and drives nicely as I just drove it 2 months ago on a 750 mile trip with no problems. Is this a show vehicle as it sits, no. It needs work to get it to that point in my opinion. But it does turn heads wherever you drive it. If you have questions or would like more pictures of the truck feel free to contact me and I will reply as soon as possible. No buyers with a feedback score of less than 10 unless having contacted me first. Vehicle is for sale on other sites and if sold the listing with be cancelled. Shipping is buyers responsibility, due to the low ride height of the vehicle, if trailered I would recommend removal of front spoiler and fog lamps and brackets.

Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:

Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
