I know polls aren't necessarily popular around here but I have been curious how many forum members are new to Broncos and how many have owned or currently own a Bronco.

My first vehicle was a 1985 Bronco XLT Blue/White with the 5.8. I absolutely loved that truck and it survived my abuse through high school and several years after that until it was sadly taken out by an idiot who slammed it going 60+ mph as I was waiting to make a left turn into my driveway.
The Bronco was destroyed and I walked away from that accident with just a sore back.

I replaced it with an 88 K5 which was a great truck but disappointing in many ways compared to my Bronco.

I've always wanted another Bronco but never ran across one that I could afford or wasn't completely rusted out.

Nearly two decades later I am beyond thrilled to be following the launch of the Bronco and should be able to afford a loaded 4 door Badlands sometime in 2023.

So let's hear about your Bronco experience or lack thereof!

EDIT: I don't recall previously seeing a similar poll, but feel free to delete/move this thread if that's the case.

Im familiar with the Centurion FSB 4 door conversions, but am unaware of a BII 4 door. Do you mean first gen Explorer?
Yes. lol

Nice! At first I thought your reply was sarcasm, but then I thought to myself "what is the closest vehicle to a 4 door Bronco II"

They both essentially shared the Ranger platform so that's pretty close.

Thanks for pointing that out. I normally don't notice the avatars because it seems they usually aren't the members actual vehicles.

Nice rig! I always liked the 1st gen explorers and thought they were pretty underrated. Looks like 33's? I have a 92 ranger 4x4 with a 2" lift and 31's and it always surprised me how capable it was.

Never owned but my father did. It was maroon with tan two tone with tan top. Eddie bauer and 90s.

17 and I had only been driving for a little bit. My friends called it The Beast.

Now I'm getting Rapid Red. Its the closest color to that Bronco.

Bought an 80 bronco in 91. 90k miles on it. 302 with headers, sounded awesome! I drove it everywhere. Funnest vehicle I ever owned. Only time I got stuck was driving in a blizzard. I was unable to see a snow drift that built up on the road. As I hit the drift, snow packed under the Bronco to the point it lifted the tires off the ground. Fun times!
