  • First Bronco

    So this is the first Bronco I have bought and I am going to do the work myself, and I have never worked on cars. So far I am enjoying it and am going to take it slow to make sure I do what I want the first time...

        welcome to the club. Only problem so far is that you think its possible to do it right the first time. Good luck with that. Have fun!

          Nice rig - looks like a great foundation to go in any number of different directions with. So what are your plans for it? Rock crawler, daily driver, or something in between?

          They are a very easy vehicle to work on and you'll learn a lot. The fun has just begun! Hopefully you can learn from some of our "mistakes" and figure out what it is you want from the get-go.

          Good luck and keep the progress report coming!

            Re: First Bronco

            I want something in between. I just want something fun to drive after work and on the weekends and set up so I can do some off-roading--nothing too serious.

            So far I have been learning from others mistakes, but I am sure I will make m own along the way. I am confident I know what I want, just trying to figure out how to get it there...

                        Looks like a great find! Make sure you measure twice cut once. Horse parts are expensive. Anyone that tells you its gonna be easy is full of Just check the other projects and it will go semi smoothly.
                        GOOD LUCK!
