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!

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 to add more than 2,000 jobs in Kansas City

Thu, 02 May 2013

Continued high demand for the Ford F-150, along with the addition of the all-new Transit series of commercial vehicles, has led Ford to announce that it will add over 2,000 jobs at its Kansas City Assembly Plant. At the time of the announcement, the plant boasts 2,450 hourly employees working on two shifts. All told, Ford will invest $1.1 billion in the Kansas City plant to expand truck production and begin producing the Transit series.
According to the automaker, fullsize truck sales are up 19 percent through April of 2013, leading to an additional 900 workers and a third shift of production for the F-150. Production of the Transit series will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring an additional 1,100 workers. In addition, Ford estimates that a total of 18,000 jobs will be created by suppliers to its Kansas City plant to support the additional vehicle production.

The history and future of the Ford Bronco

Tue, 17 Jun 2014



Some have suggested that the Bronco's demise was hastened by the fallout from the O.J. trial.
Twenty years ago today, ex-NFL linebacker Al "A.C." Cowlings drove his friend and onetime running back Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson on a parade lap of the Los Angeles highway system and onto an ignoble page of the history books. If you're in your late 20s or older, or a fastidious young student of 1990s American history, you're absolutely aware that Al and O.J.'s steed for the 'chase' was a white Ford Bronco. The white Ford Bronco, even.
