Might as well introduce myself here since this will be my home!!

I retired two days ago after 20 years and age 50 from a SoCal school district where I worked as an electrician.I am prepping my house with the intention of selling fast and moving into the woods/mountains of Northern Cal. As an aid hunter and fisherman , cant think of a better place to spend my remaining years.
Anyway my fixation with Broncos started in the 60's as my Dad was a member of "four wheelers of Orange County" and althought Dad had a jeep, I was always eyeing the little "ponies"of the time and loving every ounce of them. THEN in 79 one of my buddies showed up at high school with his "grad" gift which was a full size Bronco and I knew there was no stopping me. I INSISTED on a brand new one so it took me till 1995 to get mine. In 2005 when I got paroled(divorced)the first thing I did was refinish the interior with high grade black leather and atificial snake skin,1000 watt in dash DVD player/sound system.

Man oh man I wish we had a like button. Welcome aboard, great looking Bronco. I dunno if the namesake was intentional or not, but I love the story and legend and representation of the white buffalo. Anyway, enjoy your stay at our little corner of cyberspace.

That is one sweet ride! Welcome! :wavey:
 
thanks guys, its gonna take me some time to check out all your rides but from what I have seen so far there are tons of sweet trucks on this board and a wealth of knowledge.....Zep
 
Welcome to FTF. That is a nice bronco. It shows that it is taken care of.

Thanks you it really has beeen an act of love staying on top of maintenance and I ALWAYS meet or exceed factory recs. NOW go check out the thread where I describe how I am dropping :hammer: my 3rd motor in a vehicle that has less than 80K. I am at a complete loss what I could have done different to have prevented either incedent. I am actually a lucky mutha except for the engine issues in my damn Broncosaurus..........Thanks John
