Semi new to forums, just glad that a lot of great places to go to for info on our beloved Broncos.

I'm in Orange County, California (by Disney Land). I own a 1994 Eddie Bauer 5.8 (351w)... Stock everything and KEEPING IT THAT WAY!. Its too pretty to get it all beat up, so I'm preserving it! I just may be one of only few Bronco owners that use tire shine...

Anyway, here's some pics of my pride and joy..

That's what I said.... My Bronco was probably one of the cleanest mid-80's Bronco in the U.S. until I got a hold of it!

Welcome!

Thats my favorite color combo. I HATE my green!!!

I said the same thing when I got mine, now its got 35's and glass. You can mod and off road it AND keep it pretty......just ask Tony (TCM GLX).

All the EB's in my neighborhood are the green ones too.
Yeah, but I drive so many miles that I have to keep what little mpg i get now.

I'm at Euclid/Chapman...but there are two green eb's parked on Orangewood near my house.

I work at Oakley and I usually take chapman>Santiago Canyon... I used to take the 5 south @ chapman and hate driving on that fwy unless its Sunday!

Man, that's pretty clean! I too am a fan of this color scheme. You and Tony should hang out and have a cleaning session... then take a ride in his Bronco and keeping it stock will be a faint memory. All it takes is one ride and you're hooked for life.

Besides, most of these Broncos get 13 mpg which is actually pretty decent. Andy (Silverslk) has been taling about possibly swapping in an LS V-8 to get way better fuel economy and power.

Anyways, welcome to GFB.

Been there done that... I enjoy my "Daily" driver too much. Most of the guys I know always got something broken on their rigs and constantly fixing them... my pockets aren't deep enough to be doing all that.
