Just moved here from NC. I am a 31 year old former Ford Technician turned geophysicist. I have owned my Bronco for about 5 years now. I have been waiting for a garage to work on it and now I have it. It has been a daily driver until about a year ago when the transmission (T18) and transfer case (Dana 20) began leaking so bad I was refilling them once a week. I have already began removing them. They should be out tomorrow and then I rebuild them both.

While it was sitting for about a year, cracks appeared on both quarter panels between the upper and lower (at the seam). I bought it from a guy who did the body work and I guess he used a lot of BONDO.

Both door window frames just recently broke (near the windshield), so I have to re-weld those.

My to do list is large, but my wallet is small. So for now, I will be fixing what needs to be fixed. A few things I want to do:
1) Coyote motor or 4bt (can't decide)
2) 5 inch lift and 38" tires
3) Cowl hood and repair the body
4) Better seats.


I look forward to meeting fellow Bronco nuts. If you would like to see a closer look of the bronco you can see them here :

I forgot to add that I have not been able to come up with a name for my Bronco. Any suggestions?

Nice rig! No name suggestions, sorry.

Looks great, I saw your post on ACB so I know folks have pointed you in the right direction. If you'd like a hand with anything just ask, I'd love to help with the trans.

Thanks Kinder and Justin.

Kinder, I noticed many people belong to both ACB and CCB. Feel free to drop by tomorrow after lunch anytime if you like. I am picking up a transmission jack in the morning to make things a little easier.

That's awesome, look forward to seeing it in person, I have one suggestion, Mean Green :) otherwise I've got nothing

I like Mean Green!! Best I have heard yet. PM me if you need my address and plan on dropping by.

Just scored a parts washer and transmission jack for $100. Time to drop the tranny and transfer case

go with Kermit.....Mean I=green is so over used, ;-)

We already have a Kermit, don Alison's hunting bronco is Kermit

Nice score

well if Kermit is taken, you can call it slimmer until all the leaks are fixed

Nice ride!! Welcome to the club. You are in the right place.

What brought you to CO?

I live in colorado springs, but I hope to see you at one of the events

I'm planning on going to the meet this month, hope to see ya there

"Kato" would be my suggestion.

I'm with Casa, "Kato" would be an excellent name!

I think you should go with Slimer.

Have you seen what the car looks like now? Sad!
