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.
here is an outside view a while back
so the Great White Buffalo (as we like to call her)has the following upgrades/mods
1. 4 inch Pro Comp Lift
2.33/12.50 Micky T MTZ Baja radials
3.black pro comp steel wheels with MTZ centercap(dont ask me why the tire dufas did that...
4.k&n oil style filter( My new cool air intake system from K&N will be here in the morning and I will have that sucker installed before im done burpin breakfast
5.ALL new shocks this week...
Skyjacker 7000's in the rear
Pro Comp 2000 for steering stabilizer
Pro Comp 3000 (oil) front rear of axles
Pro Comp 9000 (gas) front in front of axle
Through experimentation this is the best setup MY money can buy and got 70,000 miles from the previous set.
Here is the front end view:
6. BroncoAir bumper( Im sorry but there is no other bumper that comes close to design/quality and Chris was great to work with.
couldnt find a front view pic, I have since aded driving lights to the bumper holes.
7. Spare fuel/water capability :
8. Optima yellowtop battery( Guys another must have if you have lots of lights,winches, DVD's etc)
9. Smittybilt 8000K winch.
Im sure I forgot some stuff but I just wanted to say "HEY" and let you guys know that there are others with our disease

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
