- Ford Bronco II 1988
I drive my old bronco of 1980, while I wait to save money for a newer one

Dont daily drive any of my Bronco's but wish I could....96 crawler, 96 converted to King Ranch, and sold my 71 a few years ago. I'm a die-hard fullsize guy.
My daily driver is a 2007 Sport Trac Limited, V8 4x4. It just passed 136,000 miles. I am actually more interested in the Ranger Wild Trak as I believe it would be a closer replacement for my current vehicle, which has proven to be the perfect size for my needs. My hope is that the next generation of the Ranger is available with the 2.7L V6 EcoBoost. An aluminum body would be icing on the cake but I don't really expect that either will happen.
I also have a '75 Bronco. I swapped the original 302 and 3-speed stick for a stroked 351W (393 ci) and New Venture NV3550 5-speed. It still has the original Dana 20 2-speed transfer case to which I added twin sticks. The front axle is a Dana 44 with 4.10 gears and power disc brakes. The rear axle is the original 9" but has been modified with 4.11:1 gears and a Detroit Locker. I used Bilstein gas shocks, four on the front axle and two on the rear. It runs on 35" Wild Country radials. It has 3 1/2" of suspension lift and a 2" body lift. I also have a tan colored convertible top for it.
Other vehicles include a '67 Ranchero, '68 Mercury Cougar, '70 Mustang Mach 1 and '99 Mustang Cobra.
