This was a Gentlemen's retirement project for me, and now that it's completed goes to a new Home. This Bronco 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 on top of a $6500.00 purchase price. I always over spend on my Vehicles but that's the fun of it.  I owned a Eddie Bauer Bronco in 1996 and wanted to enjoy one again, so purchased this one.  Redone from front to back.Mostly upgraded parts 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 but are hard to see.  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 4000K white headlights look super bright, and with the additional two bumper lights really light up the road. All double and triple fused I might add.  Grill guard just installed, along with a new Windshield and rubber seal.  Truck wears a custom Bra on the hood, which I take off when washing the Bronco. 

All fluids from front to back have been changed, and the Transmission was just serviced. Engine and transmission run strong and smooth and the engine use's no Oil. I have been able to get 16.0 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, water pump, new Anti-freeze, along with a new Air conditioning compressor. 

, A new Costco 1000 CCA Battery was just installed to provide maximum power for you.  Over sized sway bars both front and rear for super flat cornering. Four new struts up front, with 2 new shocks in the rear. ( all Gabriel ) Front end alignment was 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! Seven point plug in and wired. No check engine lights are on!


New Rotors and Pad's at all four corners with rebuilt Calipers. Four new B F G 265 / 70/ R 15 M & S Tires, and near perfect factory rims with no road rash. Wheel locks for all four wheels and the spare, which is close to new as well.  All rims received new center caps, A new spare tire cover to round out the outside appearance of the truck was put on. New Catalytic converters ( 2 ) and new 02 sensors just installed as well, along with a new Flowmaster muffler with a polished aluminum tail pipe. It has a soft but low throaty rumble to it. Not " Kid loud" though!  Locking gas cap for the 32 gallon gas tank. .  Engine doesn't use or leak Oil, and the 351 motor is super strong with all new plugs, and plug wires as well. Fuel injection service has been done. Air filter was changed over to a K & N system for better breathing. Truck passed Washington state's tough DEQ emissions test with flying colors. Many suspension bushings replaced as well!

The interior is like new, meaning the seat's ( lumbar works ) headliner, door panels, and the carpet are all in great shape. Anything that looked worn from age I replaced. All electrical works as it should and the Air blows Ice cold. The courtesy lights in the overhead console work, as does the Compass. I took out the old cassette radio and installed a new high end Pioneer AM/FM / CD / IPOD / Bluetooth Stereo, I don't have the old radio and it didn't work anyway. Upgraded top end speakers, along with a new 200 Watt Amplifier for incredible sound. While at the Stereo shop, I had a $650.00 Avital Alarm system installed with a kill-switch. 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 ( $250.00 ) and a new better then factory 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 repair manual for the truck, along with other part's manuals as well. I even have the original sales brochure for you.  I have a 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.  I have no idea what the minor accident was but was classified as a minor issue.  I also have no idea other then the amount of owners why it's number is so low.  My research tell's me that two it passed through two dealers and 3 owners.  That's to be expected with 100K on the Clock.  The value of the Bronco to you is what shape it's in now, and that's in pretty close to new condition. I welcome and encourage you to have a P P I done so that you can see that the Bronco is everything I've described here.  I have 3 local garages for you to chose from. All are honest and all are Ace Mechanic's!

This Bronco need's nothing but someone to enjoy it. Be it on road or off road!,  You won't find another Bronco in the shape this one is in.  It may have 100K on the Clock, but look, drives, and feel's like a brand new one! Any question call Ed @ 360 901-1545

Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.

10 automakers shack up in Detroit hotel to talk Takata airbags

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Since Takata has decided not to take the lead concerning potential issues with its airbag inflators, the automakers have. Perhaps that's unsurprising, since it's the automakers, not Takata, that will take a beating on the dealership floor if consumers decide its models are a health hazards. The Detroit News reports that Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru met in a hotel conference room near the Detroit Metropolitan Airport last week to sort out a way to understand the technical issues involved. So far, faulty airbag inflators have been ruled the cause of five deaths and 50 injuries around the world, but neither Takata nor investigators understands exactly why the inflators are malfunctioning. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently asked Takata to issue a national recall, Takata declined, citing a minuscule failure rate and the fact that it's still investigating the issue. Toyota and Honda then made an industry-wide appeal for "a coordinated, comprehensive testing program" that would pinpoint the problem inflators and get them replaced, and that's what the Detroit meeting was about. Numerous issues, however, will make this a long row to hoe: simply getting the parts to replace the nearly 20 million inflators in cars recalled around the world so far - even working with other suppliers - will take a years, but more importantly, no one knows if the replacement inflators currently being installed will suffer the same issue. Answers will hopefully come quickly with Takata, the ten automakers and NHTSA all independently investigating the problem.

Bill Ford augments his power by nearly doubling stake of supervoting shares

Fri, 28 Jun 2013

Bill Ford Jr. has more sway than ever over the automaker that bears his surname, as the great-grandson of Ford's founder has reportedly doubled is holdings of Class B Ford stock. According to a report from Reuters (which cites a newly discovered securities filing), he acquired some 3.7 million Class B shares from an unnamed family member.
Class B shares of Ford stock are held by descendants of Henry Ford and offer expanded voting power to their holders - Bill Ford Jr. now controls roughly 11.5 percent of the total Class B pool. Ford Jr. is also a one of five trustees that manage a voting trust that oversees the majority of these "supervoting" shares. In total, Reuters reports there are 71 million Class B shares that account for 40 percent of the voting power in the company, despite making up just 2 percent of the total volume of all Ford stock.
Ford Jr. served as Ford's CEO until 2006, when he stepped down to hire and make space for current CEO, Alan Mulally. The move to consolidate Ford family voting power, at least somewhat, is seen by many as a comforting sign with Mulally's departure from the company likely to happen in the next several years.
