Well, after 6 years of fun and upgrades I have to let the Bronco go (too many vehicles + a bad back that took a year to recover from the last 3 day trail run). Here's a list of what's in it:

1974 Bronco Sport - Very capable off road & very comfortable on road, I built this truck as a daily driver that could take you anywhere, from the beach, to the mountains, to the boulevard, and even to work. One of the best mannered Early Broncos that you will find. Always starts! I have left it sitting for 4 months with the battery connected and, 1st try, zoom.

CANVAS FOLDING "RAGTOP" sunroof 4' wide x 5' long. Better than convertible because you can lock the car. Plus, there is less wind backlash and you can actually talk with passengers while on the highway. Takes about 3 minutes to open or close and is fairly watertight (will drip a little at front passenger corner during hard rains).

351 Windsor (stock block), Edelbrock intake, 2bbl throttle body injection (Chevy system), long tube headers w/titanium wrap (very quiet). 4 core - 3 pass radiator & 6 blade race fan. Saginaw steering pump w/remote reservoir and in-line cooler.

AOD trans w/4R70 wide range gear set + Lentech Street Eliminator valve body w/ elect. OD cutoff. Dana 20 Twin Stick w/TeraLo 3.15:1 low range.

Wild Horses 3" spring lift (soft, progressive rate springs) + 1" body lift. REAR axle - 9" w/ARB locker, 4.10:1 gears, drum brakes, elect. remote disconnect sway bar. FRONT axle - Dana 44 w/Trutrak posi, chromoly axles, 76 Ford disc brakes. 33" x 12.5" Goodrich Mud Terrain Radials on '90 Bronco steel wheels, 95 percent tread.

THE WHEELS IN PHOTOS ARE INCORRECT - go to Flickr link below to view the actual wheels and tires (on the Jeep Truck at bottom of list) - THOSE wheels/tires are included with Bronco and have a much nicer stance.

Wild Horses 24 gallon fuel tank (no reserve tank).

Older Vintage Air A/C system w/new remote R134 condenser (to be installed).

Stock interior, Rhinoliner floor coating, 6 point roll cage, White face gauge panel, intermittent wiper switch, Tom's Bronco center console w/radio insert & cup holders, aluminum overhead console (covers wiper motor). Rebuilt driver's door - latch, handle, window channels, vent window pivot, rubber, and latch (have parts to finish passenger door w/same). BC Broncos 1/4" rock ski on passenger side rocker (have driver's side to be installed). This truck is tight and has no rattles.

Plus, many other parts to install: Hi-Lift jack w/sand platform, tow strap, tire hooks, etc. Tuff Stuff 12,500 lb. winch (not the best but you won't need it very often), mounting plate & 2x4 tubing to build custom mount using stock bumper blade. Steering box brace (wraps around frame), 1 qt. fuel accumulator/filter, extra MSD distributors, flex fan to reduce fan noise on highway, oil/trans temp, vacuum, amp gauges, and Cobra CB radio (no aerial).

THE BAD?

Paint is not perfect but looks very good from 10', always get compliments on the truck. NO ROT but it came from Texas and the driver's floorboard had some pinholes and has been patched cleanly. Small panel buckling at bottom of driver's door (about 2" long). Driver's door needs alignment (closes tight but sticks out 1/8").

THINGS TO BE FINISHED

Install remote A/C condenser - Has electric fan and shroud, to be mounted under passenger floorboard (between rocker and frame rail) to keep heat out of engine compartment.

Passenger door - Install new window channels, vent wing pivot and seals, new door handle, latch and striker plate.

1/4" Rocker panel cover - on Driver's side.

SHIPPING - Is the responsibility of the buyer. I will work with any shipping company to ensure safe delivery. Most transport companies will not accept loose items in vehicles so the winch and other items will probably ship separately (and they are heavy), extra shipping fees will probably be necessary.

Almost $30k in receipts. Asking $18,500 - Email any questions. 45 pictures posted on Flickr at

Ford, Samsung shack up to bring regen braking to non-hybrid models [w/video]

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Ford must be desperate to get itself ready for the beach this summer because it is really trying to get into shape. Shortly after unveiling the Lightweight Concept that cut the weight of a Fusion down to that of a Fiesta, it's now the rest of the line's turn for improvement. The company is wrapping up a 10-year research project aimed at developing next-gen automotive batteries to improve efficiency.
Ford claims that 70 percent of its lineup will have stop/start tech by 2017. The key to this massive proliferation is its new dual-battery system that combines a lithium-ion battery with a lead-acid one and regenerative braking. The setup works by harvesting braking energy and converting it to electricity. When the vehicle stops, the engine shuts off, but the Li-ion battery has enough juice to keep the accessories running. The engine starts up again as drivers take their foot off the brake. The layout would mean less wasted gas while idling. It's already available on Ford hybrids and is somewhat similar to the i-Eloop capacitor-based system from Mazda.
The bigger challenge is tuning the regenerative braking right. While hybrid drivers may be a little more adventurous, when it comes to getting a hang of regen braking, conventional buyers might not be so open-minded. The systems have a tendency to be a little grabby at first and then taper off at very low speeds. Ford needs to make sure it's just right to avoid turning off buyers.

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.

Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?

Sun, 28 Jul 2013

Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.
