This will be my first, but I’ve been admiring them since I got my Drivers License in High School (40+ years ago). Was crushing on that Eddie Bauer edition hard.

I did have a CJ just before Chrysler took over AMC. That was a definite bucket list vehicle and it was seriously ‘capable‘. I hated trading it in, but missed having one creature comfort - Air Conditioning.

I have admired the look of the original 66 in movies and TV shows, so this one will be fun for me And I will like the admiring looks I’ll be getting.

First Bronco, but I had a white ’93 Explorer Sport, 2-door, 5-speed manual. I’m hoping to recapture the spirit of that truck but even better.

Will be my first bronco but broncos been in the family history for years. Dad belonged to a hunting club and they had a late 60's Green with white top and no floor boards. I got bounced around in the back seat with fishing polls sticking out the back. Brother owned a late 70's full size brown in color. Dad and brother have since passed in the last four years and I'm upset they aren't here to see me finally get mine.

I was with my father when he bought a Bronco II on the spot back in 1986. He quickly grew to hate it. He said it drank gas and he always had to have his foot on the gas or it wanted to stop (it wouldn't coast much I guess). My older brother wrapped it around a tree shortly after getting his drivers license six months after we got it so we didn't have it very long. Thats my Bronco II story.
YIkes......
I truly hope your luck improves.✔

I’m a k5 Blazer guy but also love my Ford Flex for a daily so this will be my first Bronco. With all my Chevy trucks I’m sure it will fit in nice.

This will be the fourth 2EB’s 68, 73, 88 still have the 73, its a bit modified! The 68 i learned how to drive in was also a white over green and I drove that one into the ground in ‘89. It had no floor boards either. I’m envious of you as you had a back seat! I grew up riding on top of the rear wheel well holding on for dear life. My dad was pissed when I sold the 68 for $1K. He never saw the 73 my son and I rebuilt over three years but I’m sure he’s in heaven smiling down on me now. It has no rust, a 347 stroker motor, NP435 one ton truck gear box, will smoke 35’s if you jump on it. If he had has this in the 68 instead of the 170 CI straight six I’m sure I would never have seen eight years of age. Broncos are in my blood!

Was it a 5.0? My brother had an 85 with the v8 5L. Quite the sleeper back in the late 80s/early 90s.
