This is a 1971 Ford Bronco Sport that has been garage kept and is great shape with a dry history living in Las Vegas Nevada for 43 years. I am the 3rd owner and have been continuing the restoration process here and there since I have owned it. I wanted to keep the original look of this Bronco so I upgraded some things that were better than stock. It now has two new fuel tanks w/ sending units, both tank straps, fuel filler hose, fuel pump, plugs, wiring, oil pressure sender, Silicone heater hose kit, coolant recovery bottle w/ stainless holder Edelbrock air cleaner w/ chrome covers, battery, pigtail voltage regulator, alternator harness, battery terminals, Warn cables, battery tray w/ holder, Amsoil high performance 10/40 synthetic motor oil w/Amsoil 25,000 mile oil filter, fuel lines with a new tuned Holley 570 avenger 4 barrel carb. Ethanol dissolves metal and creates a bunch of issues when is sits for a period of time.

The next part that I wanted to tackle was the Clutch and Drive Train which included new 11 inch Luk clutch, pressure plate, bolt kit, new fly wheel, roller pilot bearing, stainless (adjustable) push rod, clutch rod (metal) bushings that do not bind, new complete rear drive shaft, new transfer case yolk, new 304 stainless twin stick transfer case shifters for T type model 20 transfer case (works better than stock), new transfer case seals, 2 new turbo mufflers, fresh gear oil replacement, 8 new JBG shocks w/red shock boots, BDS steering stabilizer, new front brakes, front hubs repacked, 5 stock rims stripped and then powder coated, 4 like new hub caps, new chrome lugs and 4 new Bridgestone 30x9.50x15 A/T Duelers less 1000 miles and front end alignment about 200 miles ago

Now I will get into some of the cosmetics that were done along the way which include newly recovered front and rear seat w/ new foam buns for the 2 front seats, rebuilt Unity spot light (new hand assembly), 6 new LED bulbs in dash instruments, new LED tag bulb, new dash brake light, new front seat belts (Air craft quality), new grill badges, stainless license plate frame, (kept original), 2 Billet aluminum fuel caps, (kept originals), stainless tailgate handle assembly w/ gaskets, (kept original), stainless jack strap, (kept original), stainless hood safety latch w/bolts, front and rear show quality stock bumpers w/stainless bumper bolts, park and tail light gaskets, used heater intake hose, powder coated tire carrier & tire mount, stainless carrier plate w/wingnut & latch guard, stainless carrier latch guard loop, poly turn signal bases, new passenger side mirror w/ gaskets, hood adjusting bumpers.

F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.

From CrabWalks at dawn to post-testing sushi: An inside look at Autoblog’s Tech of the Year Award

Thu, Dec 1 2022

TROY, Mich. — On a chilly fall morning, Senior Editor John Snyder rolled into a sleepy suburban park tucked away next to a cemetery a few miles north of Detroit. Driving diagonally — CrabWalking — in the GMC Hummer EV, he made quite the entrance as he maneuvered across the parking lot to the bemusement of Autoblog editors and a few curious park-goers up for their early morning runs.  Snyder got everyoneÂ’s attention, and as we evaluate the latest wave of technologies transforming the automotive industry, pizazz matters. We added "wow factor" to our criteria for the 2022 Autoblog Technology of the Year Award, in keeping with the times. The HummerÂ’s CrabWalk feature might have won, had wowness been the only criteria, but we also scored the technologies on significance and how well they work.  As it was, the Hummer finished a competitive second this year, behind FordÂ’s Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch, which make towing and hauling easier for modern truck owners. The Genesis GV60Â’s Biometrics was within striking distance in third place, bringing the facial recognition and fingerprint tech commonly used in phones to your car. For more on FordÂ’s win — its second straight Autoblog Technology of the Year Award — read Road Test Editor Zac PalmerÂ’s complete recap. Many have asked: Why do Tech of the Year? For Autoblog, itÂ’s been a point of pride for nearly a decade. In the early days it was a way to differentiate ourselves from print magazines, some of which have been giving out car of the year awards since the early days of the Cold War. With Tech of the Year, we seek to highlight the ways experiencing a vehicle is changing. It was true in 2013 and resonates even more as we head into 2023. Cars and transportation have changed more in the past decade than in arguably the previous four. At its most basic experience, driving a 1985 Buick LeSabre with a decent radio and comfy interior was not all that different from driving a 2005 Buick Lacrosse. Just a few years later, many cars had touchscreens, the internet and some means of driver assistance. Ford joins Tesla as the only two-time winner of Tech of the Year. The Blue Oval captured the award last year for its Pro Power Onboard generator. Tesla won in 2014 for its Supercharger network, and the Model S won in 2016, when we briefly gave out a “technology car” of the year award, in addition to honoring a particular feature.

Ford Focus RS ready to make our hot hatch dreams real

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Ford's current hot hatch siblings the Fiesta ST and Focus ST are already two pretty great entries into the segment, but there's always a desire for a little more. Thankfully, it looks like the Blue Oval is ready to satiate that need because it's continuing to test the even more powerful Focus RS around Europe. According to our spy shooters, these shots come from near the Nürburgring.
As with previous photos, Ford engineers continue to heavily camouflage the front end of the RS prototypes, but there's a big difference here. Unlike earlier ones, this example appears to have a closer-to-production-ready front bumper rather than just a horizontal strip for the license plate. That may point to development getting somewhat closer to wrapping up. Although, this one lacks the larger rear wing from prior testers, and the exhaust also appears to be a work in progress with the rear diffuser covered in mesh in these latest shots.
The RS is rumored to be using the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Mustang, but power is reportedly turned up from 310 horsepower in the 'Stang to somewhere between 325 hp and 350 hp for the Focus. Routing all that just through the front wheels could be a recipe for serious torque steer, and all-wheel drive is potentially being used for better traction.
