HEY Scotty. Minionmoto here. i have a 2001 ford ranger 3.0l v6 5 speed manuel with 163,000. i've owned the truck for 5 years and have had to replace the idol postioning sensor about 7 times what could be causing it go be going bad so many times.
@@spazzman90 i agree, crank windows are overrated imo, they can hav as many probs are powered ones, the only real advantages that i see cranks have is that u can lower or rise the wondows with the car turned off and that is cheaper to fix
I just bought a 95 Bronco XLT... Can't wait to dive into it in the spring and start getting it where I want. It was $1300 and all it needed was a new drive front fender and a ignition relay.. Runs strong and not a lick of rust! Wish me luck!
I have a 1996 Bronco purchased in 2003 at an auction in Arizona. It also was a federal (was used at the Hoover Dam) owned Bronco, it had 34K when I purchased it and now has 99K trouble free miles. Mine is a XL with medium blue interior and white on white exterior. It has a 302 V8 with 5 spd manual transmission, A/C, AM/FM, hand crank windows, full rubber mat (no carpet), and anti-lock brakes. I replaced the 35's with XL235X15's. Except for the OJ jokes, and people wanting to buy it, I enjoy owning and driving it. I couldn't believe FORD quit making them. I hope the new Bronco is not going to go the route like the "New Beetle" and lives up to it's storied history.
@@madebydade305ify those were good vehicles too! My sister had one for 7 years, never a problem other than general maintenance. I taught her how to do burnouts in it, she loved it. Never boke doing that at about 150k either! As much as I dislike Chevys, for many reasons, those were great trucks as well!
I had a 1980 Ford Bronco and it's still my favorite vehicle I ever had, it did everything I wanted it to do. I was great for camping in and winter was awesome in this truck, never got stuck with it, pulled alot of my friends out though!
They're no tougher than anything else in that class. Toughness is subjective to the user. You can break any truck in no time at all. What a Ford can do, so will a Dodge or a Chevy.
I really miss times when vehicle were much simpler, people have this perception that older vehicles hardly ever broke down, that's not really true, but the difference from today's models is that you can actually repair these things at home, sometimes with basic tools you have in your tool box.
That's one smart kid (very good video presentation; otherwise nothing but respect for how warm the walkthrough was), otherwise I'm glad to see him take such good care of that truck...
@@johnkoops8541 FILTHY HAHAHA.IT'S CALLED""PUTTING IN WORK"" Only a Few 'KNOW', What I Mean.But yes 👍 GOOD VIDEO & THANK YOU FOR THE TIME.VERY GOOD UPGRADES.HELL OF A TRUCK KEEP IT "ROLLING HARD". Once again T.Y.
We went wherever we wanted in. Not rock crawling. not on to that but we did go over mountain passes in the San Juans above Ouray Colo. Engineer pass & Imogene. 4 low is four low.
I wish that I had never gotten rid of my 1984 Ford Bronco 2 (manual transmission). I bought it from the original owner for 900 bucks. I bought it from a family member who was trying to help me out. The vehicle I currently had was done for. So I needed a vehicle ASAP to get to work! The Bronco had no rust whatsoever. It had spent most of its life in the garage. And only driven in warm climate, so it had no rust damage. (My state is notorious for rust damage). Why didn't I just keep it!? I could kick myself now! But, I was young, and knew very little about vehicles!
My first vehicle was a 1986 Ford Bronco 2 4x4 Manual V6. It looked good, but that was about it. The ride was sluggish, and it was extremely top heavy. Damn thing couldn't get out of it's own way. It only had 40,000 miles on it when I got it. It was stock, garage kept, and looked like it was never taken off road. I paid $2,300 for it and thought it was a good deal! It was a sharp looking sky blue with dark blue interior. Looking back, I wish I would have went for the GMC Jimmy with the Manual 4.3! At the time I just liked the look of the Bronco better. Anyways, take care and I hope you have a great week!✌️
Don't be hating too much on the new truck. That said I would much rather have a bare bones ultra reliable cheepo as the new Bronco. Going back to the Bronco II mentality is kind of sad, even though I loved that truck.
The suspension on these trucks is real loose. Any funny business in the back is gonna be visible to anyone regardless of how dark you tint the windows. Plus they squeak, or at least mine does.
I've got an 84 that I've had for years, it came with the six cylinder with a few years ago I dropped a 351 in it works much better for me in the mountains and done a lot of customization to it maybe I should submit it to Scotty
That is a good looking old school Bronco and the lift kit and tires are just the right size. Nowdays all you see are creampuff trucks with 12 inch lifts and street tires on 24 inch rims.
Back in 1979 I bought a new fully loaded blue and white Bronco with traction lock, quad front shocks powered by a 400. The 1978 and 79 Bronco's were tanks. The 1994 thru 96 Broncos's were great too. Ford sold the heck out of these. Don't know why they shut them down. Same with the Ranger. Wish I would have hung on to my 1979.
i had the '93 eddie edition bronco, the dark blue with the tan shell... i really liked her a lot... wrapped new skin on her but never any bondo at all , i put over 250,000 miles and never had any engine problems (barely had to mess with the points and plugs even... only the oil pan rusted out and had to put an after factory one on), but the underside was finally giving out after 25 years of mud, salt and gravel... i hated the fact i couldn't afford to keep her anymore... kuddos to the young man there...
Visited the former Yugoslavia country after the war. Beautiful beaches, churches, villages and countryside. People were extremely helpful, beautiful inside and out . Would love to visit again
My first off-road adventure was on my parents 86 Ford bronco with the in-line 6 and locking hubs , that thing would go anywhere and not skip a beat , Broncos will forever hold a place in my heart ! Ford built tough !
BEAUTIFUL Bronco Kris!!! You kept it simple and original brother. LOVE the Ford Bronco as IT loves gas stations, LOL!!! I especially like the BIGFOOT light switch!!!😂😂😂. GREAT VIDEO my friend!!👍👍.
I currently drive a ‘89 XLT, 351W, w/179,000 miles and it is definitely one of my favorite vehicles! Lift the hood, repair what needs attention and down the road you go. I did remove the rear seat for camping once but, no ventilation, no headroom and the rear seat is a pain to remove because it weighs a ton! However, it’s a great truck that has been more faithful than… well, it’s been faithful.
@@Valfothr I got a white 93 bronco I got about a month ago😂I thought it would be cool to have a vehicle almost everyone can recognize but if I hear one more oj reference I’m gonna yell
I had a 1996 bronco, bought it brand new, great truck, wonderful, powerful, quiet, would plow through 3 feet of snow. I loved the ride of the ttb Dana 44, with manual lockout hubs. Super truck. Kinda sucked gas though, bad mpg, but, that goes with the territory..
Same, I love my 96 351w bronco but the terrible gas milage sucks. If I ever have more money than I know what to do with it want to get another bronco and swap in a 3.5 ecoboost or maybe that new 2.8r Cummins.
@@codybrady6637 go old school build yourself a carberated engine. I dropped a 429 in my 90 model believe it or not I get about 4 more miles to the gallon more since . its crazy mileage considering I went from 33s to 39s after the swap
I have a 1988 Eddie Bauer Edition mechanics special. 3500.00 OBO. Straight body, glass is good all the way around. 4x4 is great. primer gray. Cannot work on it where we live. No$ to work on it. I will miss this rig
Nice Bronco! I had a '96 also...kept it for 14 years...still miss it, best vehicle I have driven in wet or snowy weather. Love the mods. Mine was stock except for a kill switch installed under the dash, but did have power windows.
All were 4X4, all had Dana 44s (rear and front), all had removable tops (legal for backseat until 1993), and parts are abundant. This is why we love Full Size Broncos!
1996 was the last year of production, that's a nice rig...I prefer my 74 Bronco Sport runnin a 347 stroker, 4spd, lockers front and rear with 4.88 gears, an Atlas II transfer case, and a new 12,000lb Warn Winch :)
I'm lucky to have owned a bright red 96 Bronco sport version for the past 20 years, bought it in 98 had 19,000 miles on it back then. Now has 367,000 miles with no rebuild. I've never stopped loving it. To many people ask me to sell it. No plans for that. Same engine as this guys. Funny thing way back then most write ups in car magazines always talked bad about it, saying they are unreliable, mine has proved that wrong.
I have my first car I ever bought 89 bronco xlt in a barn only 70k miles on it but parked it in a barn in 99. Got to start a restore on it and post it for ya Scotty!
@ 03:00 the center console. we went to pick n pull, and got the fold down seat off and f150 and replaced the crappy plastic thing. we had to bolt it in place with some minor modifications, but it is much better
Lucky you I've had one chance for an early bronco a frigging funeral director was driving a Camaro and me a 51 Willie truck so of course he beat me to it. What really sucks his wife wrecked it the next day.
Looked great until showing the inside. He is missing the tailgate carpet, it has the clips there. Interior was beat up pretty bad. XL was the lowest trim, hence the manual windows and locks. I really liked the swing away tire carrier he made. 7/10 from me
Working on my 1980 Bronco, with 302 and 4spd. stick. First year of this body style. It also has the drilled frame unique to that year. Not necessarily a good thing, but I will ad some stiffeners to keep things on track.
My dad used to have a gmc jimmy that looked like this i dont remmber the year but the jimmy was awesome!! It could only seat 2 people but it rumbled pretty awesome. 😎 We had a 1987 4x4 gmc jimmy.
Every person that has ever owned a Bronco fell in love with it because the engine and transmission were strong and reliable. They hardly ever needed any work.
I had an 87 Eddie Bauer edition Bronco with a 302 and a manual trans with a creeper 1st gear. It was totaled out and was never the same after it was put back together. Man, I miss that truck.
Awesome Bronco! I've always liked that body style and I've always wanted to get one. Maybe one of these days I will, you still see a lot of them around. Anyway you've done a nice job with yours thanks for sharing it with us
I had an 86 fullsize 2tone black and silver in college. What an awesome machine. Take the top off and cruise. My favorite accessories I wish Ford would bring back: wing windows, floor clicker for high beams, and captains chairs.
Hey Kris! I have the same Bronco. Different color. That bumper is so sick. The spare swing arm also. Really nice. I took out the stock center console and bolted a Smittybilt security floor console to the floor. Things a vault.
Use to drive a '95 Bronco Eddie Bauer as a daily driver. It's red and tan with the perforated leather seats. Trying to fix it up now. It has a massive leak in the cal (I think I spelled that right. Basically the top of the firewall), and it's caused by a spot that rusted out. I have to find a F-150/Bronco tub and weld in that firewall to stop the leak. What sucks is that I let it sit for only a couple of months and it started growing mold in it because of the moisture (I live in Florida). So, I got out almost all the mold although some of it got imbedded into the leather seats and door panels, so those will have to be swapped assuming I can find identical door panels (I found a site that does the seats). On top of that, the transmission is getting rough, and though it can still drive, it will likely need to be swapped soon anyways, having almost 139,000 miles on it. Aside from that, the front bumper is starting to rust and one of the wiring connections must have moisture in it because the battery has a terrible draw on it (it has to be cranked every few days or else the battery dies). So, other than the bumper, firewall, interior, transmission, and a paint job, it's all good. Sounds like a great deal with a now 24 year old Ford 😂. I currently daily drive an '03 Silverado that was pretty much restored so this shouldn't be too bad I guess.
Yes the Benz was proper. However I remember as a youngster we had an early 80s Lincoln with a cig lighter and ashtray on both rear doors , a 3rd behind the front seat armrest same on the front doors and on the dash under the heat/ac controls. I used to stash candy wrappers in them
@@toma1460 Correct. Up through the 90's, they existed in just about every North American vehicle. Depending on the car, they could be found in the dash, doors, seat backs , center consoles, even the 3rd row in my 'Burban has them. Like you, I also used them as a rear seat trash bin for candy and straw wrappers.
Personally, I don't like these big second gen Broncos. I like the original ones best. They would go anywhere, any time. However, people would get stupid with them and jack them up too high and put too big of tires on them, then a quick turn would make them lay over on their side, saw it happen once in the middle of main street. I do like the crank windows and wing windows on this one. I miss wing windows.
That twin I beam suspension kinda sucks amigo. Plus the blazers/Jimmy's had pretty much the same options that Broncos did. They're basically the same animal just different colors. I'm a diehard GMC fan but Broncos are alright.
the price tag for these older Bronco is just crazy and over priced but people will fork out the cash for them, Haha... border patrol here in san diego just love these Broncos they just beat them to death and they just keep on running just fine.. Haha...
Last summer, a guy knocked on my door desperate to buy my Bronco - Offered me 10 thousand cash, as is. Stock, clean 94. Had to have it to give to his teenage son. Not letting some punk destroy the Bronco for all the tea in China.
Considering most broncos on the road have rotten fenders or fender covers and the tailgate rots that truck is pristine. It's real rare to find a bronco with original paint that's not rotted out. Must ha e been garage kept. Beautiful truck. I have a 95 bronco. Spent thousands getting her back to original stock condition. Lots of work goes into these trucks. Any one of these trucks that are still on the road were built completely...not bought.
They had a 9" rear end and an open Dana 44 front end. Body on frame construction. I have a 1981 model with a 302 2v V8 with true duals, backed by an old Borg Warner C6 automatic. The body is rattle can primered. I love that truck!
I bought a 1978 Ford Bronco and it developed an over heating problem early on. Other than that it was a great vehicle. The dealership couldn’t figure out why it was overheating. (I suspected it was a cracked intake manifold), so I traded it off. I bought a 1988 Bronco XLT and at about 50,000 miles it started having problems. The intake manifold gasket needed replacing and Ford did a warranty repair on that. The exhaust manifold was unshielded and placed too close to the starter. It kept burning the bendixes out. I eventually bought a starter with a lifetime warranty and replaced it once every year or so. Bad engine design. The power steering hoses blew, the rear main seal leaked, the OEM front hubs were crap. I still loved that Bronco for the versatility it offered. Not a bad vehicle if you had the money to keep it going. I never had any luck with the 351 Windsor but I had a 1972 Mach 1 that had a 351 Cleveland and never had any problem with it. 110,000 miles when I sold it. Still running strong.
Great job on that custom rear bumper, Kris! I notice you carry an axe in the rifle rack. 30 years ago in Montana it was common to see a rifle hanging in the back window of a pick-up truck. Haven't seen one of those for years, though, maybe 'cause times are a changin'.

Hey scotty can u give me ur opinion on the 2012 Chrysler 200
HEY Scotty. Minionmoto here. i have a 2001 ford ranger 3.0l v6 5 speed manuel with 163,000. i've owned the truck for 5 years and have had to replace the idol postioning sensor about 7 times what could be causing it go be going bad so many times.
His paint's not so "pristine" on the tailgate.
That was good.. I love seeing mods done with taste.. not a hammer, 50 stickers and an ego.
Scotty Kilmer the instagram is actually @CCC4x4Club. Sorry for the confusion
Ford Bronco - because even Jeeps need a hero!
Yeah except Jeeps don't need solid axles swapped in the front; they already come with them
jeep owners need the ford 8.8 to swap out their Dana 35.... Explorers, rangers, and broncos already come with them
Kinda like how the Rangers came to be... because Marines needed a hero too.
I prefer Jeeps.

Back in 1979 I bought a new fully loaded blue and white Bronco with traction lock, quad front shocks powered by a 400. The 1978 and 79 Bronco's were tanks. The 1994 thru 96 Broncos's were great too. Ford sold the heck out of these. Don't know why they shut them down. Same with the Ranger. Wish I would have hung on to my 1979.
The demand for 2 door SUVs was declining and More people were moving to family 4 door SUVs so the Expedition replaced the Bronco after 1996.
Rollovers made ford shut em down.
The 79-79 and the 92-96 were the best IMO😊
i had the '93 eddie edition bronco, the dark blue with the tan shell... i really liked her a lot... wrapped new skin on her but never any bondo at all , i put over 250,000 miles and never had any engine problems (barely had to mess with the points and plugs even... only the oil pan rusted out and had to put an after factory one on), but the underside was finally giving out after 25 years of mud, salt and gravel... i hated the fact i couldn't afford to keep her anymore... kuddos to the young man there...
1973-74 last year for points.
@@benjaminwayneb you're right... just an old term i used to use... meant a cap
Beautiful ride!!!
I like muscle cars and American 4x4s and I don’t have need for anything else with wheels! 😁
Cheers from Croatia!!
V8AmericanMuscleCar. THOUGHT YOU ALL DRIVE TANKS OVER THERE...
Dane Boro but it would be great weekend ride!! BTW I’m on vacation around Zadar almost every summer! 😃
JOSHUA CARLSON not all of us! ;-)
Visited the former Yugoslavia country after the war. Beautiful beaches, churches, villages and countryside. People were extremely helpful, beautiful inside and out . Would love to visit again

I'm glad you liked it. 😃
My first off-road adventure was on my parents 86 Ford bronco with the in-line 6 and locking hubs , that thing would go anywhere and not skip a beat , Broncos will forever hold a place in my heart ! Ford built tough !
I once owned a navy blue OJ Bronco. Loved it!
1978/79 IS the best years for Broncos
BEAUTIFUL Bronco Kris!!! You kept it simple and original brother. LOVE the Ford Bronco as IT loves gas stations, LOL!!! I especially like the BIGFOOT light switch!!!😂😂😂. GREAT VIDEO my friend!!👍👍.
I currently drive a ‘89 XLT, 351W, w/179,000 miles and it is definitely one of my favorite vehicles!
Lift the hood, repair what needs attention and down the road you go.
I did remove the rear seat for camping once but, no ventilation, no headroom and the rear seat is a pain to remove because it weighs a ton!
However, it’s a great truck that has been more faithful than…
well, it’s been faithful.
Hard to look at this vehicle and not think of OJ. LOL I'm sure that bed gets a lot of use in the woods.
electronicsNmore I think think the same thing. Thinking about it, I wonder why they emphasized that in the coverage. Ford must have freaked out.
OJ had a white one. Even he had good taste in trucks
@@shawnpa , Yeah the media just pointed that out only about 3 million times and some more...
How do you think I feel about my white 94 bronco. It gets called an "OJ Mobile" countless times
@@Valfothr I got a white 93 bronco I got about a month ago😂I thought it would be cool to have a vehicle almost everyone can recognize but if I hear one more oj reference I’m gonna yell
My mom had this car when I was younger and I fell in love with a car for the first time! Definitely getting one sooner or later
I had a 1996 bronco, bought it brand new, great truck, wonderful, powerful, quiet, would plow through 3 feet of snow. I loved the ride of the ttb Dana 44, with manual lockout hubs. Super truck. Kinda sucked gas though, bad mpg, but, that goes with the territory..
LOL. Same with the hemi Jeeps. We don't buy them for gas mileage.
Same, I love my 96 351w bronco but the terrible gas milage sucks. If I ever have more money than I know what to do with it want to get another bronco and swap in a 3.5 ecoboost or maybe that new 2.8r Cummins.
The ttb suspension was revolutionary. No one can match fords innovation
@@codybrady6637 go old school build yourself a carberated engine. I dropped a 429 in my 90 model believe it or not I get about 4 more miles to the gallon more since . its crazy mileage considering I went from 33s to 39s after the swap
@@stbr9571 that probably comes down to gearing more than engine
I love those old big body Broncos. Always wanted one.
I have a 1988 Eddie Bauer Edition mechanics special. 3500.00 OBO. Straight body, glass is good all the way around. 4x4 is great. primer gray. Cannot work on it where we live. No$ to work on it. I will miss this rig
Nice Bronco!
I had a '96 also...kept it for 14 years...still miss it, best vehicle I have driven in wet or snowy weather.
Love the mods. Mine was stock except for a kill switch installed under the dash, but did have power windows.
I miss my dads 96 bronco too. So many memories
All were 4X4, all had Dana 44s (rear and front), all had removable tops (legal for backseat until 1993), and parts are abundant.
This is why we love Full Size Broncos!
I’m drinking a big glass of OJ this morning as I’m watching this
To each his own.
lol
Is it worth it, I'm just curious here.
1996 was the last year of production, that's a nice rig...I prefer my 74 Bronco Sport runnin a 347 stroker, 4spd, lockers front and rear with 4.88 gears, an Atlas II transfer case, and a new 12,000lb Warn Winch :)
Morning coffee with Scotty screaming at you about car problems. THE BEST!!!
I'm lucky to have owned a bright red 96 Bronco sport version for the past 20 years, bought it in 98 had 19,000 miles on it back then. Now has 367,000 miles with no rebuild. I've never stopped loving it. To many people ask me to sell it. No plans for that. Same engine as this guys. Funny thing way back then most write ups in car magazines always talked bad about it, saying they are unreliable, mine has proved that wrong.
Awesome 1996 Bronco which is in great condition. I am looking forward to the return of the Bronco in 2020.
We have 1995 Bronco xlt. Driving it for 20 years now and it's been the best overall vehicle we have owned. Never selling it!
I don’t think we need a video that explains why broncos are great. They do that themselves
Great '96 Bronco video. Owner was real & proud of what he did w vehicle. Liked tbe end where he SHOWED what that Bronco could do!!
Boy this makes me miss my old baby a 1993 bronco that I had all through high school
I have my first car I ever bought 89 bronco xlt in a barn only 70k miles on it but parked it in a barn in 99. Got to start a restore on it and post it for ya Scotty!
I have a 1994 Bronco XLT 5.8L 62,000 miles, one owner, me. Oh I love my Bronco!
@ 03:00 the center console. we went to pick n pull, and got the fold down seat off and f150 and replaced the crappy plastic thing. we had to bolt it in place with some minor modifications, but it is much better
Nice Bronco! I have a '69 I bought right out of high school in 1981, and it is still a regular driver.
I love those old school Broncos too.
Lucky you I've had one chance for an early bronco a frigging funeral director was driving a Camaro and me a 51 Willie truck so of course he beat me to it. What really sucks his wife wrecked it the next day.
Dude thats badass. Do you mind if I use some of these ideas?
Looked great until showing the inside. He is missing the tailgate carpet, it has the clips there. Interior was beat up pretty bad. XL was the lowest trim, hence the manual windows and locks. I really liked the swing away tire carrier he made. 7/10 from me
Working on my 1980 Bronco, with 302 and 4spd. stick. First year of this body style. It also has the drilled frame unique to that year. Not necessarily a good thing, but I will ad some stiffeners to keep things on track.
Always loved the Bronco.. I had a '79..Now I own an F150.
My dad used to have a gmc jimmy that looked like this i dont remmber the year but the jimmy was awesome!! It could only seat 2 people but it rumbled pretty awesome. 😎 We had a 1987 4x4 gmc jimmy.
The new Broncos comes with extra small gloves!
And a jar opener lol
1:50 cargo area for storing extra gloves - rope and knives and the light for quick and ez acess
Every person that has ever owned a Bronco fell in love with it because the engine and transmission were strong and reliable. They hardly ever needed any work.
The 351 can take a beating
Idk about the transmission can't keep one in mine gone thru 4 aod transmissions about to swap to manual
@@christopherolszewski8710 what year, a 87-91?
Yup lol how did you know I'm buying a manual transmission and transfer case to swap in out of an 82
Christopher Olszewski That’s awesome man just a guess lol as I was going to buy a 88 bronco with a AOD that would not go in gear any longer
I love Ford Bronco, 85, 86, 87, 88 and 92 is my favorite. Ford Bronco is icon and classic in America
I miss my 1992 F150's wing windows!
Had an 88 and 91. It may have been a 92
I had an 87 Eddie Bauer edition Bronco with a 302 and a manual trans with a creeper 1st gear. It was totaled out and was never the same after it was put back together. Man, I miss that truck.
Rev up your Broncos!
Juan Jimenez Fock bronco and ford
@@hayypapi4281 fock
Awesome Bronco! I've always liked that body style and I've always wanted to get one. Maybe one of these days I will, you still see a lot of them around. Anyway you've done a nice job with yours thanks for sharing it with us
I have a 78 Bronco. Love it!!
I had an 86 fullsize 2tone black and silver in college. What an awesome machine. Take the top off and cruise. My favorite accessories I wish Ford would bring back: wing windows, floor clicker for high beams, and captains chairs.
Very nice Bronco! I'd like to have one someday. I love this body style. Kinda makes me miss my '96 F150 4x4. Kinda....
Very nice rig. Simply made, simple to operable, simple to repair. Keep up with simple maintenance and it'll run forever. Good job.
Nice rig!
One thing i would recommend with the 6 inch lift for the front suspension is longer trailing/radius arms to help prevent the suspension from binding.
I love my 89 Bronco Eddie Bauer edition
Hey Kris! I have the same Bronco. Different color. That bumper is so sick. The spare swing arm also. Really nice. I took out the stock center console and bolted a Smittybilt security floor console to the floor. Things a vault.
Hey Scotty turns out it wasn’t a blown head gasket only a leaking water pump
Good news! Hopefully it won't be too hard to fix!
Use to drive a '95 Bronco Eddie Bauer as a daily driver. It's red and tan with the perforated leather seats. Trying to fix it up now. It has a massive leak in the cal (I think I spelled that right. Basically the top of the firewall), and it's caused by a spot that rusted out. I have to find a F-150/Bronco tub and weld in that firewall to stop the leak. What sucks is that I let it sit for only a couple of months and it started growing mold in it because of the moisture (I live in Florida). So, I got out almost all the mold although some of it got imbedded into the leather seats and door panels, so those will have to be swapped assuming I can find identical door panels (I found a site that does the seats). On top of that, the transmission is getting rough, and though it can still drive, it will likely need to be swapped soon anyways, having almost 139,000 miles on it. Aside from that, the front bumper is starting to rust and one of the wiring connections must have moisture in it because the battery has a terrible draw on it (it has to be cranked every few days or else the battery dies). So, other than the bumper, firewall, interior, transmission, and a paint job, it's all good. Sounds like a great deal with a now 24 year old Ford 😂. I currently daily drive an '03 Silverado that was pretty much restored so this shouldn't be too bad I guess.
Wind windows are the best
My mother had a blue one , we kids loved it
If you and your friends are on the cigarettes hard there's three ash trays!
Yes the Benz was proper. However I remember as a youngster we had an early 80s Lincoln with a cig lighter and ashtray on both rear doors , a 3rd behind the front seat armrest same on the front doors and on the dash under the heat/ac controls. I used to stash candy wrappers in them
That was the real America
@@toma1460 Correct. Up through the 90's, they existed in just about every North American vehicle. Depending on the car, they could be found in the dash, doors, seat backs , center consoles, even the 3rd row in my 'Burban has them. Like you, I also used them as a rear seat trash bin for candy and straw wrappers.
Personally, I don't like these big second gen Broncos. I like the original ones best. They would go anywhere, any time. However, people would get stupid with them and jack them up too high and put too big of tires on them, then a quick turn would make them lay over on their side, saw it happen once in the middle of main street. I do like the crank windows and wing windows on this one. I miss wing windows.
Bronco was a much better vehicle than The Chevy blazer...
That twin I beam suspension kinda sucks amigo. Plus the blazers/Jimmy's had pretty much the same options that Broncos did. They're basically the same animal just different colors. I'm a diehard GMC fan but Broncos are alright.
Ricky Deal Im a die hard ford fan and I can agree that twin I beam is not great unless its strictly for offroad.
I'm a ramcharger fan myself, lol. I actually have a lot of respect for the blazer and bronco though.
Best so far! Simple and strong.
He needs license plates that says "OJ DID IT"
Man that bronco looks soo badass 😍😍😍
O.J. Simpson said his Ford bronco was dependable and never let him down! 😂
Bonnie and Clyde said the same thing about the Ford's they stole.
OJ didn't own a Bronco.
Living in the mid west, its incredible to see this truck without rust. We have a saying here for these body style fords: Rusty but Trusty.
Amazing ! You in america have a good cars!!!
the price tag for these older Bronco is just crazy and over priced but people will fork out the cash for them, Haha... border patrol here in san diego just love these Broncos they just beat them to death and they just keep on running just fine.. Haha...
Last summer, a guy knocked on my door desperate to buy my Bronco - Offered me 10 thousand cash, as is. Stock, clean 94. Had to have it to give to his teenage son. Not letting some punk destroy the Bronco for all the tea in China.
Says pristine while showing dent in rear fender lol
KC Wood he said that paint is pristine, not the body.
Lmaooooo
@@4Thug2Life0 Body work is what makes the paint.
Considering most broncos on the road have rotten fenders or fender covers and the tailgate rots that truck is pristine. It's real rare to find a bronco with original paint that's not rotted out. Must ha e been garage kept. Beautiful truck. I have a 95 bronco. Spent thousands getting her back to original stock condition. Lots of work goes into these trucks. Any one of these trucks that are still on the road were built completely...not bought.
Right! And the interior ain't all that either.
They had a 9" rear end and an open Dana 44 front end. Body on frame construction. I have a 1981 model with a 302 2v V8 with true duals, backed by an old Borg Warner C6 automatic. The body is rattle can primered. I love that truck!
so what's the reason everyone loves the bronco? did i miss that somewhere in the video?
I bought a 1978 Ford Bronco and it developed an over heating problem early on. Other than that it was a great vehicle. The dealership couldn’t figure out why it was overheating. (I suspected it was a cracked intake manifold), so I traded it off. I bought a 1988 Bronco XLT and at about 50,000 miles it started having problems. The intake manifold gasket needed replacing and Ford did a warranty repair on that. The exhaust manifold was unshielded and placed too close to the starter. It kept burning the bendixes out. I eventually bought a starter with a lifetime warranty and replaced it once every year or so. Bad engine design. The power steering hoses blew, the rear main seal leaked, the OEM front hubs were crap. I still loved that Bronco for the versatility it offered. Not a bad vehicle if you had the money to keep it going. I never had any luck with the 351 Windsor but I had a 1972 Mach 1 that had a 351 Cleveland and never had any problem with it. 110,000 miles when I sold it. Still running strong.
I miss my 95 Eddie bauer bronco. :(
wow that is one clean bronco man! great job I really like all those lights you installed!
That was the first, Drog dealer's
Car in Colombia back in 80's
I had a 1990 Bronco for a few years. Loved that truck.
I wish they would bring back the 2 Door Tahoe!
They probably won't ever they need to appeal to soccer moms.
David Lyons I have one! A 1997!
I really like the looks of those '90s 2 door Chevys.
Eyellgeteven I got one haha you can see it on my channel
@@zuruthewolf1184 I'll check it out.
Great job on that custom rear bumper, Kris! I notice you carry an axe in the rifle rack. 30 years ago in Montana it was common to see a rifle hanging in the back window of a pick-up truck. Haven't seen one of those for years, though, maybe 'cause times are a changin'.
