This was a Gentlemen's retirement project for me and now it's done. I have another one to work on now, so off it goes to a new owner. This truck has it all, and then some. I've spared no expense in getting it the way I wanted it, putting over $8,000.00 in to the project. I owned a new one in 1996 and wanted to enjoy another one, so I purchased this one. Redone from front to back with all new part's. Mostly upgraded one's at that. New Black factory paint, over previous factory Black paint. Paint was showing signs of fading. I give the paint job a 8.5 out of a possible 10. It does have some minor small scratches for it is a used truck. Unlike most Bronco's, this one has no rust issues that I could find. All doors and window seals have been replaced with new rubber. I replaced the drivers side wing window assembly and glass because it didn't seal correctly. The Tail gate Window was replaced, along with the Window / Tail gate seal's as well. It wouldn't defrost so out it went and the new one installed. A new and bright LED brake and white light was installed as well. New custom installed high intensity lights in the bumper, along with all new Lens both front and rear. The white headlights look super bright, and with the bumper lights really light up the road. All double and triple fused I might add. New grill guard just installed, along with a new Windshield and rubber seal. Truck has a custom Bra on it. All fluids from front to back were just changed, and the Transmission was just serviced. Engine and transmission run strong and smooth, and use's no Oil. I have been able to get almost 15.5 MPG on the Freeway. 4 wheel and 4 wheel low work perfectly and the dash light light's up to indicate so. All new Belt's, new idler arms, new Alternator, new thermostat and new anti-freeze as well, Brand new Costco 800 CCA Battery just installed. Over sized sway bars front and rear for great flat cornering. Four new struts up front, with 2 new shocks in the rear. ( all Gabriel ) Front end alignment just done when the Strut's were replaced. This Truck drives as straight as an Arrow when you take your hand's off the Wheel. I put a custom Class III trailer hitch on the truck for towing. This rig could pull a Boat or Trailer with no problem at all! No check engine lights are on!
I put new Rotors and Pad's on at all four wheels. Four new BFG 265 / 70/ R15 M & S tires, and near perfect factory rims with no road rash. Wheel locks for all four tires and the spare, which is close to new as well. All rims received new center caps and wheel lock's, A new spare tire cover to round out the outside appearance of the truck was put on. Brand new Flowmaster muffler with a polished aluminum tail pipe, which has a great low throaty rumble to it. Not" Kid loud" though! Locking gas cap for the 32 gallon gas tank. Just installed a water pump as well. Engine doesn't use or leak Oil, and the motor is super strong with all new plugs, etc. Fuel injection service has been done. Air filter was changed over to a K & N for better breathing. Truck passed Washington state's tough DEQ test with flying colors. Many suspension bushings replaced as well! The interior is like new, meaning the seat's ( lumbar works ) headliner, door, and the carpet are all in great shape. The door panels as well. Anything that looked worn from age I replaced. All electrical works as it should and the Air is cold. The courtesy lights in the overhead console all work, as does the Compass. I took out the old cassette radio and installed a new high end AM/FM / CD / IPOD / Bluetooth Stereo, I don't have the old radio and it didn't work anyway. All new upgraded top end speakers, with a new 200 Watt Amplifier for incredible sound. While at the Stereo shop, I had a $650.00 Avital Alarm system installed. Put a kill-switch in as well. Back side windows had been tinted for privacy, and the back seat look's like no one has ever sat in it. The stereo is set up for a phone with a mic, and along with the Ipod Classic sit's in a factory cut out in the lower dash. I just put on the new chrome wheel lip's yesterday so no dings yet. I have two front fender Bronco plaques ( Eddie Bauer ) but haven't put them on. Present one's are good. but these look newer. I replaced most badges with new one's, and added a few new one's as well, ie; Eddie Bauer on the Tail Gate, 5.8 Litre on Tailgate ( lower left ) 4 X 4 on front lower drivers side, and a 5.8 on the front passenger side.. For the BIN buyer, I will throw in a top end Magellan GPS and a new high quality Eddie Bauer Carpet kit ( $650.00 ). Kit covers the front seat area, back seat area, and the storage carpet area including the wheel bumps. As I said, the carpet doesn't need replacing at all, but I thought down the road it might so bought the carpet kit .In addition I will fill the trucks gas tank with Gas for you. Truck comes with all Book's, Brochures and receipts, You get a Chilton's repair manual for the truck as well. I have the clear title to the truck. I've done so much to the Bronco, I can't even remember everything. This Bronco is a Classic and will only go up in value, so buy it and enjoy it as it does! I'm located in the Portland Oregon metro area about 15 minutes from the Portland Airport if you want to fly in and drive the Bronco home. I welcome a PPI on the Bronco if you have any doubt's about the quality of the Truck This Bronco need's nothing but someone to enjoy it. Be it on road or off road! Additional photos available upon request, You won't find another Bronco in the shape this one is in. It may have 100,171 on the Clock, but look, drives, and feel's like a brand new one! |

Hertz goes Dutch with Ford Focus ST-H
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Want to take a performance car for a ride? Hertz can make that happen. Spin by your local rental location (depending, of course, on availability) and you can take out a Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, even a Corvette as part of the Adrenaline Collection. Hertz's Dream Cars lineup even includes Porsches and AMGs. But the really interesting stuff is what you can't get anywhere else: cars built specifically for Hertz.
Back in 1966, Hertz had Ford cook up a special run of Mustang GT350H models in back with gold stripes. It became an icon in and of itself, and in 2008 Hertz had a new batch of Shelby GT-Hs made. Earlier this year, Hertz contracted Penske to deliver another fleet of specially-built Mustangs you can rent. But if your travel plans include a trip to the Netherlands, Hertz has a completely different type of specially-prepared Ford on offer for you.
Back in August, Ford delivered a couple of Focus STs made specifically for Hertz in Holland. Now it's expanded that fleet even further. The Ford Focus ST-H features the same 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four (and everything else) as the standard Focus ST, but gets that signature black exterior with gold stripes and a black leather interior with Recaro buckets. So in case a trip to Amsterdam doesn't hold enough thrills, now you can throw a hot hatch into the mix as well. Scope out the press release (in Dutch - isn't that weird?) below.
Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue
Tue, 28 May 2013According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."
