1988 Full Size Ford Bronco Four Wheel Drive on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
|
What you're bidding on:
Traction, Comfort and Durability, in most likely one of, if not the cleanest, 1988 Broncos available. Adds: Detroit True Trac Gear Driven Limited Slip Front Differential with 4.10 Gearing. Detroit Locker Positive Locking Rear Differential with 4.10 Gearing. Six Point Interior Roll Cage. 6" Extended Radius Arm Pro Comp Lift Kit, complete with Six (dual front) shocks and dual steering stabilizers. 35/12.5R/15 BFG KM2 Mud Terrain Tires - estimated 65% tread remaining. I noticed (looking through the pics) that one tire appears to have more wear. It DOES NOT - all are even, it's just the angle of the photo. Einke Aluminum Wheels. Receiver Hitch - For Bike Carrier Only - Never Towed CO2 Canister - set up to Air Tires and can run air tools too! CB Radio Satellite Ready JVC Audio Deck with CD/Bluetooth/USB input. Upgraded Speakers. Front View Camera - can be seen in last two pics below. Allows viewing obstacles in front of vehicle - sorry pic of screen has a lot of reflection, but you can see the chrome strip at the bottom is the bumper and there is a fire hydrant above that... again sorry for the poor pic. The long Story - maybe read after you feast your eyes upon this beautiful piece below. I set out to build a rig that is extremely comfortable and reliable for camping, touring the trails and the intermittent tough challenge. Therefore I chose the full size Ford Bronco. This rig is the favorite "Go Fast Build", in the off road world because of its compliant suspension over the rough stuff. While this unit is NOT set up as a "Go Fast" it will cover the rough terrain in comfort at reasonable speed and when you "air down" the tires, wash boarded gravel roads are traversed with quite frankly unbelievable comfort. Of course you can air the tires back up in minutes with the included CO2 tank! Anyhow.... I had a dilemma, in that I purchased the cleanest, lowest mileage (basically stock) Bronco I could find and would either give it modest upgrades with a winch (to pull myself out of the inevitable "stuck" situation), or build a rig that is extremely difficult to get stuck. Not liking any of the available winch bumpers and wanting to keep as close to stock (on steroids) look as I could, I opted for the latter and it has exceeded my expectations. I work with Ford Motor Company and have access to some of the best techs in the country and am also fortunate enough to have a brother in law who is the most skilled, custom fab / tool building / problem solving person I know AND he's willing to work on my Bronco! What I'm saying is: This rigs been cared for! It's had a brand new A/C compressor converted to 134A by a Ford tech who's been in the business for over thirty years. He incidentally recommended a compressor from a different model year Bronco - because they last longer. I put a radiator in myself a while back and it's had a new water pump, fan clutch - also recommended by my A/C guy (now that I think about it) because he thought it should blow "just a bit colder" - yeah he was right, it did. New double cardon joint for rear drive shaft, both fuel pumps and all relatively recent. Oil changes every three, like I said "cared for" and reliable. It's been my daily driver for the last three or so years and I would not hesitate to drive it across the country. I do drive it all over the state for the activities described above. Mostly garage kept (even before I had it), the paint is very good. There are some very minor dings that have not effected the paint and some larger "waves/dents" on both doors and the rear quarter panel on the driver side, which also have not effected the paint. There is a 1/2" x 1/2" rather deep ding that has taken the paint on the passenger door (see pic). I've done my best to represent these in the pics and they are difficult to spot - basically only you and I will ever know / realize they are there. I've tried to provide (and believe you'll agree) a thorough and ethical representation of this vehicle. I believe my "buy now" price is extremely fair and obviously less than I have put into this rig, but I've had fun with it and it has done everything I've ever asked of it and those things are never free. I can't imagine you would ever experience any buyers remorse should you win this auction, or buy now. |

Cheap gas has Ford investors nervous over 2015 F-150
Wed, Dec 17 2014Gasoline in the US continues its weeks-long descent with prices down about 13 cents a gallon over last week to $2.544, which is lower by around 69 cents/gallon from this time last year, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Many drivers are welcoming the lower bills at the gas station as a fantastic holiday gift, but Ford investors are somewhat spooked over the potential sales implications for the 2015 F-150. Market analyst Rod Lache of Deutsche Bank recently downgraded Ford's stock from a buy to hold, according to TheDetroitBureau.com, and his report to investors may have played a part in a drop in the company's share price. Lache praised the truck's powertrain and lightweight technology, but wrote, "We question whether consumers will pay the price for this content with $2-$3 gas," in his report, according to the website. Whether buyers actually turn away from the F-150 is mostly speculative at this point because it only recently began production. With around 700 pounds of weight loss thanks in parts to its new aluminum parts, the latest Ford pickup offers up to 26 miles per gallon on the highway, plus segment-best payload and towing ratings. Prices are up somewhat in part to pay for additional standard features, though. Still, any further dip in Ford's stock is bad news this year. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the company's shares are down about 7.5 percent this year. On December 15, the price fell to $14.28, the lowest since November 10. Related Video:
Latest Forza Motorsport 5 car pack leaves us scratching our head (in a good way) [w/video]
Wed, Jul 2 2014As we scrolled down the roster of the latest car pack for Forza Motorsport 5, the Hot Wheels Car Pack, our expression became bemused over the strange mix of vehicles that we now have at our disposal. This is quite unlike any of the other sets of DLC Turn 10 Studios has offered. Sure, there are the typical headliner cars – the Lamborghini Veneno and 2015 Audi S3 – that will appeal to the mainstream racing fan or auto enthusiast. But this latest car pack is so jammed full of nuggets of automotive weirdness that it's hard not to get excited. The Hot Wheels pack has no shortage of racers, with a particular focus on historical offerings. A 1939 Auto Union Type D covers the pre-war era of Formula One, while a 1967 Lotus 49 and a 1952 Ferrari 375 represent post-war racing. For a modern twist, a Mazda USF2000 car slots in below the Indy Lights car from the Nurburgring booster pack. From here, things get vintage and weird. There are a pair of delightfully offbeat coupes, in the form of a 1974 Toyota Celica GT and a 1973 Ford XB Falcon GT (here's hoping we get a vintage Holden Monaro in the future). Those two are joined by a 1956 Ford F-100, which your author already plans on converting into a dragster with vinyl flames down the side (because that's what all vintage pickups should be). The new ride we're most excited about, though, is the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500. Yes, that's the van from The A-Team, and we're sure it will prove to be an excellent canvas for the artists of FM5 to cover with airbrushed, fire-breathing unicorns and mystical, gray-haired wizards (or just poorly painted letters that read "Free Candy"). This latest car pack is the final monthly car pack for FM5, although Turn 10 is quick to point out that while the monthly updates are over, there will still be new batches of cars made available to gamers. As for the Hot Wheels pack, it's available now on Xbox Live for $9.99. Scroll down for the press release from Turn 10 Studios, as well as a video of the newest additions to Forza Motorsport 5's vehicle roster. Forza Motorsport 5 Hot Wheels Car Pack Now Available Turn 10 Studios is bringing the Hot Wheels® Car Pack to "Forza Motorsport 5," available for download today. The pack features a collection of vehicles built from the ground up for the new generation that car fans can collect and customize while putting their virtual driving skills to the test.
Chip Ganassi Racing switches to the Ford EcoBoost-powered Riley Daytona Prototype
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced yesterday at Ford's SEMA press conference that it will field a Ford-Riley Daytona Prototype with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the 2014 United SportsCar Championship (USCC). CGRFS is the second team to commit to the new Ford-Riley car, behind Michael Shank Racing (which has already used the racecar to break a 26-year-old top-speed record at Daytona International Speedway).
"Over the last 10 seasons we have been able to experience a great deal of success in Grand-Am," Chip Ganassi says, "and now with the dawn of the new United SportsCar Championship we feel that Ford power will be a key ingredient to writing the next chapter of our sports car program."
In the last Grand-Am season, CGRFS raced a BMW-Riley Daytona Prototype. The team has won seven Daytona Prototype championships, all in the past ten years. Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas return as the team's prototype co-drivers, and will attend their maiden race in the Ford-Riley at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.
