Vehicle Detail
Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 I could write a book on whats new, but its easier to just say what's not- The frame and the front axle. Everything else is new and rebuilt from the wiring to to the steering box. I have over $50k invested in this Bronco, and all the receipts to show it. Everything is top of the line (for example, those are real racing bead lock wheels I had made, not the cheap immitations you see at the tire store), and a lot of parts were fabricated because I wasn't satisfied with the parts you could buy (like the stainless steel skid plate, the tire rack, the speaker boxes, and the diamond plate rock guards and tailgate piece). I also either did the work myself, or was actively involved in having the work done (I was even under it when I had the mufflers installed to make sure they correctly tucked the exhaust up and out of the way for maximum clearance). I covered every little detail, like even having heat shields installed on the mufflers to dampen heat and noise in the cab. I couldn’t find speaker boxes I liked, so I made my own that matched the interior, were durable, had padded arm rests for the rear seat passengers, have storage boxes built in, and kept rain from getting on the speakers if the top is off. I even made my own brackets and bought air shocks for the rear window because the factory ones rattled. I virtually hand made this meticulously over the past 15 years and made sure I covered every detail. This is a true one of a kind. For those that would want to take her off road, with these tires, and the new locker in the rear axle, I’ve been able to easily climb a class 3 rock trail in 2wheel drive (class 3 is the highest level considered safe for stock off road vehicles, and she did it easily in 2 wheel drive). Some of the highlights are its new performance 302 (less than 1900 miles), nickel plated rust proof high performance headers, new Flowmaster performance exhaust system, polished stainless steel exhaust tips (not cheap chrome), rebuilt transmission (less than 1900 miles) & transfer case, new front and rear drive shafts, new heavy duty axles in the rear, a new locker in the rear, entire new steering system, new hydroboost powered braking, new HID lighting system (street legal 55 watt driving and fog light system on the brush guard, new HID headlight system with 110 Watt low beams and 130 Watt high beams, and 300 Watt off road lights), a high output alternator, new guages, a 3.5” James Duff Baha suspension kit (you can literally jump it), a 1” body lift, a Grant anti-theft sterring wheel removal system (see pictures), and a high output stereo system with a 10 disk changer in the center console- I could go on and on. I redesigned the dash so I could add the tachometer and move some buttons, and make it all look factory. It has a Rhino lined tub and bottom of the doors so you can just hose it out after you’ve been off road, and you don’t have to worry about ruining the carpet or chipping the paint on the doors (I mounted the center console and rear storage compartment on lifted brackets so they don’t get wet or damaged when you hose it out). It has new front seats with a Corbeau four point harness, a newly reapulstered rear seat, new sun visors with polished stainless steel brackets, a new headliner, and even a rear view mirror with lighting built into it so you can take off the top and doors and still be both safe and functional. I just replaced all 8 shocks in the beginning of June with all new Rancho shocks. The breather hoses and brake lines running to the axles are braided stainless steel. I even put in all stainless steel nuts and bolts so you don’t have to worry about rust (for some nuts and bolts I used grade 8 cadmium plated / rust proof steel bolts because its harder than stainless steel and better for higher tension applications). I went as far to put plastics caps on the exposed bolts on the undercarriage that were to keep the threads from getting mud on them and clogging up. Only the best, carefully planned, and thought through. ** I need to note that everything works great, except the front axle- It drives great, it just doesn’t have 4 wheel drive, and I wouldn’t be selling it if I had the money to fix it. I am asking $25,000, and we will deduct whatever it costs to fix it from the total at a mechanic of your choice (I’m estimating $1,000-$1,500 to fix), or $20,000 as is. I'm not going to say its perfect, but its pretty close.
