Just a chuckle about the bad stuff I see in SF.

Shucks, what you see in SF do not go in the desert. I have never see a Baja local in the desert with the typical auto. What the ranchers drive on the desert roads are F150's. They drive them until the break then fix them with JY parts. They do not go fast so as to prolong the repairs. The cars in town are pretty bad except for the high dollar guys who have newer pickups, and they don't venture far from town toward the desert.

Are you done scolding me? :cry:

That was meant somewhat tounge in cheek Paul.

Yes, the site is called Go Fast Broncos. It is not Go Fast only if you have a dedicated Bronco prerunner! Please, don't assume to know our intent for this site.

Respectfully, i will have to agree to disagree with you. That doesn't mean that i'm right, and you're wrong, it means that we just don't see eye to eye on this subject. And i'll still buy you a beverage of your choice when we meet up!
I'm glad this was clarified...since I don't drive a "go fast Bronco" rather it is an "I have a great time in it when I'm wheeling Bronco." I was recruited by another member on here from another site to be left un-named. Although I don't involve myself with the GFB community (races etc.) I enjoy reading about them as well as the bantering that goes on. Carry on!

My current rig is ‘notaBronco’ and it has done it all, but it is a Highboy so serves as a truck…
1) Do you daily drive it: Nearly every day!
2) How many miles a year do you drive it: No idea, 10-20k?
3) What percentage do you drive on the street: 50%
4) What percentage is off road: Ummm…. The rest
5) What type of off road do you do (Sand, Desert, Baja, Trail): Trail running, flying low in the desert, and SNOW!!
6) When off road, what are you typically doing: Exploring at speed
6) Future plans for wheeling it: 466CI EFI, Spicer 5-spd, Doubled Cases D60/14B-Locked, semi LT custom built, Full cage, Glass fenders maybe hood & New Bed, Just picked up a set of 37’s to go on the period slotted mags, Ft&R Winches, Odd’s~n~Ends…
7) Do you trailer with it (tow): Only when necessary. I hate towing!
8) Do you trailer the notaBronco: Never! Yet…


My current 87-Bronco is sitting where it was dropped off the trailer it was hauled in on, and I’ll put a tarp over it before the snow flies…

2) How many miles a year do you drive it: Zero
3) What percentage do you drive on the street: Zero
4) What percentage is off road: 100% (Parked on Dirt)

My favorite trucks fall into two categories:
Race: which should be fairly self descriptive. ;)
All Around (AA): The AA can be driven to the dirt, run hard and short of hitting something, it will run at 100% of its design all day and then it drives home and to work on Monday!

Oh well Back to work
