Introduction, just moved to Denver!
Good morning fellow Bronco owners! Thought I would take a minute to do an intro. My name is Duane. My wife (Jessie) and I just moved to Denver 4 weeks ago from Chicago. (Don't blame me for this snow...) I work from home, for a fleet management company. Jess was originally offered a job out here in Sept with her company. We have visited out here and loved it so we said yes. 3 months later, after we had our house arranged to be rented and signed a lease with an apt out here her company pulled the plug. So she quit and we moved anyways! We love the outdoors and look forward to camping/kayaking and off-roading! We own a 1968 Bronco, 289 V8, 3spd column in her original Peacock Blue. Found her on Classic Broncos in AZ 2 years ago. All original, no rust/accident repairs. Safari roof rack, ranch hand spare and dealer installed 3rd aux tank. We had her shipped to Chicago. Since acquiring her I have replaced the seat upholstery, door panels. Installed a Centech harness and installed OE style Super Traction bias ply tires. Love the original looks. We also own a Subaru (surprisingly capable off-road!) and 2 Duacati Monsters. The wifiey rides a 2004 Monster 620 ie and I thrash a 2007 Monster S4RS. Looking forward to meeting some fellow enthusiasts out here! A few pics: Wifey on her motorbike My rocket Duane

Re: Introduction, just moved to Denver!
Love the Bronco. Powerking 7.00x15 tires? Looks exactly like what I have planned for the new 72, Terrible One.
I actually saw your Bronco recently on cb.com when I was searching for roof racks. A sharp looking truck for sure.

Re: Introduction, just moved to Denver!
Awesome !
I followed your thread in CB as well. Was wanting to see the outcome of the Chicago winter DD challenge everyone was giving you.
Can't wait to see it in person.

Re: Introduction, just moved to Denver!
Thanks again all!
Just got back from a week in Cerritos, Baja California Sur, Mexico!
Man its beautiful down there. Nothing like the rest of Mexico. And as a gear-head I saw a ton of influence in the trucks down there from the Baja 1000!
