New Guy from Mesa. First time Bronco'r

Post by Needles929 »

Hey everybody! Just sold off my Ranger Prerunner and now looking for a Bronco. I don't own one yet but will very soon. I have been reading through the forum to get an idea of where to start. I am not all that familiar with the Ford TTB as mine was a control arm Ranger. My goals starting with a small budget are:

92-96 Year with some lift and preferably 35's already on it. Seems like that is a good place to start. Feedback is welcomed and encouraged!

Glad to be part of the site!

I've been going to Glamis since November of 1997 but mainly in a rail and on bikes so far.
I love anything with travel! Nothing more satisfying that seeing a truck charge some whoops! Don't know why but it is like crack! :lol:

I used too but don't have any handlebar toys anymore. I just took the cover off the bronco getting some maintenance done for desert season.

BTW local guys. I have a brand new AC/DC pulse tig machine and no 220 power in the rental house that I am currently in. My job moved me here a few months ago from Iowa and I really miss my garage back home. Hit me up if you feel like welding/reinforcing/making some stuff!

How funny! I am in Las Sendas right off Power and McDowell. Anyhow, we are in for the drags and bogs tomorrow.

Who else wants to go??

Just saw this but since the weather is nice we will definitely need to try for it again. Is this an every other weekend event?
