Vehicle Detail
Just finished this amazing project, only the best parts were used. Runs great and reliable. I put one thousand miles on it as i worked through any bugs, leaks, noises and or rattles, that i noticed and took care of, to ensure you get the best and most reliable Bronco available.Very High quality parts were used and were installed by professionals not any do it yourself half ass jobs done. I spent a fortune to do it right. This has been a project of my dreams as i owned one when i was young and wanted to buy one so i could make it how i always wanted it to look. I searched for a great donor that i would not need too kill myself on and one that had a good history. What i found fit the bill better than i imagined, i found this one in oregon, which it originated in California, this was a one owner, and when i asked for the title it looked like a old newspaper , all yellow and tattered, it was so bad i made the owner get a new one in his state prior to selling to me. You will see the picture of it in the photos i upload. The Bronco was in such great shape it was almost a shame to have to change it the way i did but i wanted to make it my own. The motor and transmission had just been rebuilt and are original. It runs so well i did not want to hot rod the motor as i did not want to make it unreliable. It fires right up with zero smoke every time, even after periods of stagnation when i dont drive it for a while. I have been driving it for the last two weeks too be sure it is ready for the road. It has not given me a lick of trouble and i would drive it across country with zero hesitation.I have before and after picture so you can see what i started off with and understand that it was no junk yard project. I enjoy driving it so much because it drives so great with all the mods i have done that i really hate to sell it. Here is what i have done with it since i have had it to make it, what i think is the most amazing bronco i have seen or been lucky enough to drive. First i started with the suspension , as you will see in the pictures i have installed the top of the line fox suspension, and added a 4 inch lift. Also added a new steering stabilizer. The lift and steering stabilizer were installed by All out off road here in Houston, which are the best in our area for off road vehicle customizing. I then added Bushwacker cut out fender flares installed properly by Jammers body shop here in houston and the repainted the sides of the bronco so the fit and finish of the flares are excellent. I then fitted 38/15.50 Nitto Trail Grapplers to Fuel 20/12s top of the line two piece wheels custom built to fit the hubs of the bronco. I painted the grille, tail light bezels,headlight surrounds, and drip rails to match the truck. Removed all side trim and filled in all the side trim holes for a clean smooth look. Under the hood i added a dress up kit and headers, i did not want to disturb the motors internals as it would compromise the reliability. I did add a Vintage Air* AC system and a new compressor, and coils,, then i added the new oversize radiator to keep the beast cool and it runs so cool in this Houston 100 degree heat, the temp gauge does not budge. I also added long tube headers and a dual custom built exhaust system with magnaflow mufflers for a great but not too obnoxious sound with awesome exhaust tips to make it look cool coming out the back with side exits. On the interior i decided to completely redo all the materials. I added all racing seats to each position with 5 point seat belt harnesses which really made it very comfortable.WHen i had the seat installed i had the rear seats custom fabricated onto the original bench seat frame as to be able to remove them with the same ease as the original could be incase you need to haul something in the rear. It rides amazingly well and handles awesome, there is no play in the steering as i had the box redone and the steering shaft worked on along t=with the upgraded steering stabilizers. the steering feels so good i believe it is better than new. I added a high end alarm to keep this beast from being stolen cause i draw a ton of attention everywhere i go. People always tell me how fine it is and i get thumbs up going down the road several times each day.I replaced all the bezels with new. I also replaced the headliners in the front cab and the rear roof with an alcantara style plush black material that really looks killer. Then i covered all the painted areas of the roof with a carbon fiber look wrap that finishes off the inside for an ultra new crisp clean look. Once i had all the interior complete i went kind of crazy and installed an insane stereo that sounds so amazing you will not want to get out of the truck until a commercial comes on. I went to the best stereo shop in Houston Custom Car stereo, and spared no expense to get the top of the line equipment. the system has an Alpine head unit with CD player, Ipod interface, Sirius* receiver all the Speakers are JL Audio* The truck has a total of 14 speakers, 6 sets of separates and two giant ten inch subs custom built into the wall panels as to not take up any space with ugly boxes. I had two sets custom built under the rear seat facing forward that look killer. The sound of this stereo is amazing.I have spent a fortune on all these mods , and i am sure i am not going to recoup all that i have exhausted into this build. But i can just keep on spending on it as i enjoy it and want it to be the best of the best. The paint is excellent, but not so great on the rear tailgate but still very good . that and the roof were not painted by my body shop when i installed the fender flares, so it is not the same quality, but still ok,, i give the paint a 7 in overall appearance. the interior i give an 8.5 as i could probably go even more crazy with more details, but it still is awesome. Over all i give the truck an 8 cause it can still use a few things but they are all cosmetic. the truck has an amazing stance and is most reliable, where ever you live i would easily be able to say you can drive this home. Please bid with confidence as i have a great rating cause i care about your experience and i assure you that you will totally love this amazing truck. Please dont play any games with your bids, if you dont have the money then save the pictures but dont bid, you are most welcome to come check it out and drive it with me as i am certain of what i have here as you will not be disappointed. Good luck this will make an excellent christmas gift to you or someone special.
