Although it pains me to do so, its time for my full-size to go to a new home. I know many of you have watched my build saga and the solid axle conversion and although I will miss the full-size I no longer have the room or time to play with her. i have recently acquired another built Early Bronco 9 (I just finished restoring a 76) and I'm just out of room. I live in the city and 1 full-size plus 2 early broncos plus 2 cars is pushing it.. someone is going to get a great bronco.

I'm asking $8800 or any reasonable offer.

Overview:
My 94 has undergone many changes but all throughout the transformation I have taken extraordinary good care of her. From changing fluids, to watching temps, I have replaced parts as they needed.. and some when they might not have been ready but they made it more reliable and drivable. I have wrestled with mysterious problems and overcame great obstacles to make her what she is today.. she's not the fastest, she's not the biggest but she is one of the most capable, dependable and handsomest Broncos out there.

I built her to take me into the backcountry and bring me back. I wanted something to tackle trough trails, snow bash, rock climb, camp for 5 days then drive 500 miles home without a problem.. she has more than lived up to that task. I wanted something that if trouble arose I would be able to get myself or someone else out.. and it has done that as well - many, many times.

Anyway lets get to the nitty gritty.. I will try to be as honest and open about the Bronco as I can. If you have any questions please let me know.

I'm selling my 1994 Fullsize Bronco XL that start life as a fire truck in Payson Arizona and was bought by one of my best friends whom I bought it from. It that has undergone many upgrades including a solid axle swap a few years ago. I have not skimped on cheap parts, I wanted this truck to be reliable and solid.. it never let me down. I will try to list out what I have done or replaced but I'm sure I will forget a few things. Most of the fabrication work was completed by Hefty Fabworks. Allot of it is one of a kind, you would be hard pressed to find better craftsmanship or attention to detail in many of the parts on this rig.

Because of the solid axle swap and 8 lug Chevy conversion I removed most of the Antilock braking components, i cannot add them back. In addition I unplugged the drivers side air bag, but will plug it back in when it is purchased, its up to the buyer to disable it.

Here is a partial parts list, I haven't listed every detail but you can view my solid axle swap thread to see whats been done for the most part.

Solid Axle thread:


Engine
I made pretty much every upgrade you could to the 302 without tearing into the engine itself. Its a great engine and very reliable, great gas milage for rolling on 37's (13.5 MPG last time I checked on the highway) and honestly in 4lo it will go pretty much anywhere. Has 113K original miles, I would trust it to take me from coast to coast and back again, it runs strong and smooth.
All the original emissions equipment is still on the truck and functional.. this includes the catalytic convertor and air pump
This is a mass air truck - means easier upgrades, including a future 351w swap if you so desire.
6 liter tuneup
MSD ignition
1" phenolic spacer under upper intake
Replaced Fuel pressure regulator
Replaced Fuel Injectors
replaced O2 sensor
New water pump and stock temp thermostat
Replaced starter not long ago.
Diehard Marine Marine Battery 1150 Cranking Amps with custom battery hold down, size 31M - warranty still on it
3G alternator upgrade with 2 gauge wiring.
Engine does not smoke I check oil pretty religiously, it does have a slight main rear seal leak so I keep an eye on the oil level.
I did an engine compression test not too long ago and it came out close to spec.

Exhaust
Bassani stainless steel Y pipe into fully custom 3" high flow cat into 2.5" Muffler exit rear corner under steel bumper (really nice setup)

Transmission/Transfercase/Drivetrain

Rear driveshaft is a 1330 high angle CV jointed shaft - the rear is setup for a 1350 all you have to do is swap one in. (Flanges on the TC case and rear Dana 60 pinion)

I have replaced both the transmission and transfer case about 5-6000 miles ago. The rebuilt E40D transmission and manual Borg and Warner 1356 came rebuilt from Ford. I have used a transmission cooler ever since the rebuild.

Both driveshafts have been rebuilt within the last 4000 miles. The front shaft probably has less than 500 miles on it, I had it custom made after the solid axle swap.

About 70% tread left on most of them, some rock rash on 4 but they are solid runners and I have no problems running them at 75 mph on the highway.

Other Cool stuff & Accessories
York 210 On board air
5 gallon airtank
Front and rear air line hookups, you can air up tires, run air tools or run pretty much anything that a regular air compressor.

I have an astro van hydroboost unit if you want it.. was a planned upgrade.
i have a bunch of other stuff I will throw in, extra parts, etc..

The Bad:
Rear main seal leak - its leaked a bit for the last few years ever since i started using synthetic oil.. I gained about 1mpg but the rear main started to leak shortly after switching..
Drivers side mirror vibrates a bit.. the plate inside the door is broke so it vibrates more than it should..
Dent in the tailgate - the cooler/fuel rack pushed in the tailgate a little on the drivers side when I stood the truck on its butt going up a boulder.. doesn't affect anything window door and everything closed properly
Rain gutters on both side are slightly tweaked and one side is ripped. Happens to most broncos once you start wheeling them - I was going to weld a plate on the inside across the entire cab to reinforce this area.. does' tweak or anything but would be nice to have it done.
Clear coat has pretty much peeled off, but paint is ok.. more of a matte white finish now. Its a truck it has spent its lifetime out side.. been repainted once.

Some notes and other stuff

Emissions: If you have to undergo an emissions test and inspection this SHOULD pass - but I make NO GUARANTEES. I made sure to keep all the original emission hardware and controls in place.. including the EGR and I even replaced the catalytic convertor and metal tube for the air pump when I put the new exhaust on. Everything works and functions as it should.

Hardtop/softtop: Even though I swap out the hardtop every year I have no leaks from it throughout the winter, in the summers I swap to the soft top.. and have no leaks from that either.. I have the original rubber weatherstripping that I put back on every winter so I'm sure that helps…

Handling Truck handles pretty good for a solid axle setup with no sway bars and running 37" tires. Runs straight and true, not too much tire noise for running aggressive 37" off road tires around town and highway. I would religiously take the truck into Discount tire to get the tires rotated and balanced. I also have a lifetime alignment from Firestone that I use after every trip. Because of the steering setup i have never had an alignment issue in over 2 years, the tire wear is even and balanced.

The Bronco will run right down the highway at 75+ no problem.. no shudder, no steering issues, runs great. I have worked on valving the shocks to handle the body roll, so corners are no problem, but she is tall so only so much I can do for the lean.. but feels stable not out of control. Its a big off road truck, its drives like one.

If i have missed something or you have any questions please let me me know. I have tried my best to list out everything I could to help give you an idea of the amount of work and upgrades this Bronco has undergone.

For all the above I'm asking $8800 or any reasonable offer. Not interested in trades.

I'm apologize i hadn't realized I didn't post any under the hood or inside pictures.. I went out and took new ones just now so here you go

Sale Pending

I was wondering if you had sold it already. I hope it works out for you!

I know the buyer won't want those 37s, so when they leave them behind just let me know when I can pick them up.

Ha will do

Kirk,

Since you will want to find somewhere for those 35's once you upgrade to landsharks 37s... I know a place for them

SOLD and GONE... she will be missed!

Good news, soon you'll only own classic broncos!
