“Labor of Love”1996 Ford Bronco

Purchased my bronco in June of 2003 from a retired fire chief. It was his wife's vehicle and was used pretty much to play golf & to get her nails done. The top had never been removed and it was never off road hell I don't think the 4-wheel drive button was ever pushed. It spent most of the time in her garage and had only 79,000 original miles. I put a 2 and a half inch Rough Country lift on with rear leafs and ran it for 6 years and highly recommend it. I now have a Rancho 4 inch lift with extended arms with Rancho RSX shocks all around highly recommend them too but now run Bilstein 5100's and removed the steering stabilizer as well as both sway bars for more articulation off road. I also went up in tire size from 31x10.50x15's to 32x11.50x15's then when I put the 4 inch lift on I switched again to 33x13.50x15 Super Swamper LTB's balanced w/ Airsoft beads and now she's running 35x12.50x17 Pro Comp Extreme A/T's on Jeg's Soft 8 black steel rims and still balanced with the beads! My other upgrades will be lockers front and rear just not sure which yet. I have a Warn 8274 winch and matching Warn front bumper, plus a Smittybuilt rear tube bumper but I still need a pair of rock sliders. It's a never ending story $9k in my 74' F100 and $16k in my 77' F150 but this truck has fuel injection and a take off top so this one stays around awhile! A Bassani Y pipe may be in the future or I'll make my own and I am need a family cage, sprayed with Line-X, and a Softopper Soft top, one project at a time!! That's how it always starts.You have to own a Bronco (or any Ford) to understand....It's a Labor of Love!! · DNBELOWBRONCO
