Hello All,
Here is my new 96 Bronco XLT-- equipped with a 5.8, auto, 175k, stock everything and added some 35" used tires from a friend as the ones it came with were total junk. Runs really nice, with the typical broken plastic pieces here and there. My background with the Bronco is really in the 66-77 variety and if you want anything very cool you have to fab it yourself or know that nothing ever fits well. I've already said how great it is to be able to get literally anything for it still locally via the dealer or salvage yard (where there are zillions of these around). Yikes has a build on here that is pretty inspiring and I actually have a decent amount of the higher end parts sitting on the shelf to use if I want. This eventually is going to be pretty fun

Nice to meet you all,
Matt

Great starting point, Matt!

Clean looking Bronco, Great foundation for a sweet ride.

Very nice. Loving the color.

Welcome! Love the two tone!

Welcome and I like all the others love the paint job lol hope you enjoy the site.

following the Yikes build is just no good for me I love the speeds these trucks can run and all the luxuries like a/c, sealed interior and a decent stereo are something that my beloved 66-77 Bronco

Piece by piece it comes in time.

Welcome !!

This is my first ever FSB repair-- whoohoo -- fixed the radius arm bushings and put on a pair of brake pads. Got part of the front outside and bottom of the frame wire wheeled clean, sandblasted the radius arm brackets and gave the hub/rotor a wire wheeling and some paint. Drives a whole lot better-- I even put on some full race open ended lug nuts I'M COMING FOR YOU YIKES-- YEA I'M COMING FOR YOU MAN!!!!! J/k-- everyone needs inspiration!

Getting stuff done!!

Sandblaasted front end goodness Scored the 97 F250 grill take off from CL for a meager $30 and its an OE part --whoohoo!!!

is that grill somehow different from the 92-96 bronco/f-150 ones?

either way - it l;looks clean

Nope no difference.

Looks good man!

Thanks! Tony.. I just realized why you and a few others do the clean behind the grill/ lights treatment-- because literally in 3 minutes the grill is out!

Stupid how a brand new motorcraft gas cap with the lanyard for $14.16 delivered makes me happy
