Saw this setup last week on Anna Maria Island on our mini -school's out vacay.
Although I am sure he paid way too much for the Braptor, you gotta respect his taste.
This was probably one of the best looking setups I have ever seen.

Those JC Whitney fender flares are hideous tho...

Sadly, my Mom passed away several weeks ago. Buried her at the veterans cemetery with my Dad. Life goes on.Quote:

Back to the Bronco, you may notice that my wheels & tires don’t match my trim. I upgraded my Base steel rims and tiny tires to some takeoffs from a Badlands. Paid $1,200 for 5 wheels & tires, 285/70/17 BFG KO2’s plus those good looking rims. I will use the steel rims for winter tires.
my Condolences, Harry -Quote:

Ford used the rubbermaid trash cans at the factory as a template.Quote:

Gonna be sweet on the used market when all these bros are upside down and desperate though.
Again, Harry did it right. He ordered what he wanted, and he waited and made concessions. Mags are smaht.
Now that’s a Bronco!

I saw that guy tooling around the valley a day or so ago.
There are quite a few refurbed broncos around here.

I saw a raptor bronco in the flesh yesterday., those gigantic flares are inexcusable.

Just crossed 90 days and 3K miles with my new Bronco, great vehicle. So glad I went with the 7MT.
I love this We-No-Nah canoe as well. It’s newer than the Bronco. I’ve been exploring the rivers and lakes all over Northern Wisconsin with my fly rod and this setup all summer. Having a great time.

Now, that’s a handy tiedown spot.
No GOTOS points. Needs a snorkel.
clean rig for sure, sweet set up for tooling around.Quote:

Found this photo at my office, will see if I have more at home. This photo was 1987, little brother riding shotgun, friend and I had just acquired some sweet MTBs and latest riding apparel. We also skied in jeans. Seems like we spent every weekend destroying our rigs and all week in the evenings putting them back together for the next weekend. Wife and I spent a lot of time in it when we started dating as well.

Here's a photo of the old Bronco in its final glory just before I sold it to get a more "responsible" F250 for working construction in 1990. This was a hill climb in an abandoned gravel quarry near my childhood home.

Been keeping an eye on the used Bronco market for what seems like forever. Finally traded our old cabin truck for a '22 Badlands 2 door on Saturday. Front section of top off for date Saturday night, rest of the top off for Sunday 4x4ing. Too much fun so we went for a few hours Labor Day before heading home for the work week. Bronco is way more fun and capable than the old F-150, happy we waited on the right used one. Midlife crisis vehicle purchase highly recommended.
Supposed to be hot again this weekend and might take the doors off to take my 80 year old dad out for a spin in the mountains. My dad set up my first online account with the username "Bronco" in 1997 for a commercial MLS system and it's stuck ever since. Nice to bring it full circle again.

Rad! Big old bronco fan. Have a 71 shitbox. Wasn't sure about new ones but they have grown on me. Especially the 2dr with sasquatch.

Sweet. Dig the green. Good story, too.

One of my favorite parts of this forum is reading stories like that.
If Chevy ever remade the Zr2 Blazer I’d have a similar one.
