  • Some Props for All of us-off topic

    just got back from a week camping at Cisco Grove campground (great place, they love off roaders, in the middle of the seirras, clean showers, full camping hook ups) where I took out my rusty 1970. There was a lot fo snow still left up there and plenty of rocks and puddles. Anyways getting to the props part for all of us, there was a group of rock buggies up there most likely $30K rigs but everyone wanted to talk about to me about my ole bronco. sure those guys could some places I couldnt but at the end of the day, i unlocked the hubs and drove down 80 while they loaded up on a trailer. everytime I pulled back into camp someone would wave or stop me and want to talk to me about the bronco while the buggy boys just drove by with their trailered buggies. "you dont see those any more" or "man you are old school" or my favorite from the girl at the gate "broncos are chick magnets and it even makes you look good" were common comments. Anyways, I know I got a ton of work to do and most likely never be "done" working on my bronco but wanted to share this with all of you. hope it makes up for all the knuckle busters, all the trips to wild horse or jeff's or tom's, or all the times we spent lying on our back wrenching on it. Me, my wife and my two girls had an absolute blast and this bronco thing is so worth it.

    Kind of sappy, I know, but still kind of cool.

        I do trailer mine up and down the hill, but it is street "Legal" and streetable so I can still do the parts runs with her! I agree that Broncos are head turners. They were cool in 66' and still cool in 11'

          I've had a few nice cars in my day but nothing has turned heads like my Bronco (even in stock form when I got it). Definitely get some comments on the trail too.

            This is why I miss driving my Bronco everyday. It gets people attention.

            The best time driving it was when a SMOKING hot 30ish (maybe 40ish) MILF was driving an convertible and we both stopped at the stop light. She looked over at me and said "Aren't you a little young to be driving something that old," with a wink. Then, smart ass me decided to say "Sounds dirty!" That is how my love for older women started.....

              The correct response Ryan would've been, "I'm into all things with a few years that age gracefully maintaining their elegant lines and curves"!

                              Just took the Bronco out this a.m. for a coffee and donut run. More looks in the Bronco this morning that I can remember. The girl in the Starbucks drive thru was so excited, saying her dad would be so jealous, its so much better than a Jeep, etc, etc. I thanked her for recognizing it was a Bronco and NOT a Jeep to which she replied "Broncos look more like scouts than jeeps" I told her we could no longer be friends.

                              anyway, it felt good for the old iron to get some attention
