This was a Gentlemen's retirement project for me, and now that it's completed goes to a new Home. This Bronco has it all, and then some. I've spared no expense in getting it the way I wanted it, putting over $8,000.00 in to the project on top of a $6500.00 purchase price. I always over spend on my Vehicles but that's the fun of it.  I owned a Eddie Bauer Bronco in 1996 and wanted to enjoy one again, so purchased this one.  Redone from front to back.Mostly upgraded parts at that. New Black factory paint, over previous factory Black paint. Paint was showing signs of fading. I give the paint job a 8.5 out of a possible 10. It does have some minor small scratches but are hard to see.  Unlike most Bronco's, this one has no rust issues that I could find.  All doors and window seals have been replaced with new rubber. I replaced the drivers side wing window assembly and glass because it didn't seal correctly. The Tail gate Window was replaced, along with the Window / Tail gate seal's as well.  It wouldn't defrost so out it went and the new one installed. A new and bright LED brake and white light was installed as well. New custom installed high intensity lights in the bumper, along with all new Lens both front and rear. The 4000K white headlights look super bright, and with the additional two bumper lights really light up the road. All double and triple fused I might add.  Grill guard just installed, along with a new Windshield and rubber seal.  Truck wears a custom Bra on the hood, which I take off when washing the Bronco. 

All fluids from front to back have been changed, and the Transmission was just serviced. Engine and transmission run strong and smooth and the engine use's no Oil. I have been able to get 16.0 MPG on the Freeway. 4 wheel and 4 wheel low work perfectly and the dash light light's up to indicate so. All new Belt's, new idler arms, new Alternator, new thermostat, water pump, new Anti-freeze, along with a new Air conditioning compressor. 

, A new Costco 1000 CCA Battery was just installed to provide maximum power for you.  Over sized sway bars both front and rear for super flat cornering. Four new struts up front, with 2 new shocks in the rear. ( all Gabriel ) Front end alignment was done when the Strut's were replaced. This Truck drives as straight as an Arrow, when you take your hand's off the Wheel. I put a custom Class III trailer hitch on the truck for towing. This rig could pull a Boat or Trailer with no problem at all! Seven point plug in and wired. No check engine lights are on!


New Rotors and Pad's at all four corners with rebuilt Calipers. Four new B F G 265 / 70/ R 15 M & S Tires, and near perfect factory rims with no road rash. Wheel locks for all four wheels and the spare, which is close to new as well.  All rims received new center caps, A new spare tire cover to round out the outside appearance of the truck was put on. New Catalytic converters ( 2 ) and new 02 sensors just installed as well, along with a new Flowmaster muffler with a polished aluminum tail pipe. It has a soft but low throaty rumble to it. Not " Kid loud" though!  Locking gas cap for the 32 gallon gas tank. .  Engine doesn't use or leak Oil, and the 351 motor is super strong with all new plugs, and plug wires as well. Fuel injection service has been done. Air filter was changed over to a K & N system for better breathing. Truck passed Washington state's tough DEQ emissions test with flying colors. Many suspension bushings replaced as well!

The interior is like new, meaning the seat's ( lumbar works ) headliner, door panels, and the carpet are all in great shape. Anything that looked worn from age I replaced. All electrical works as it should and the Air blows Ice cold. The courtesy lights in the overhead console work, as does the Compass. I took out the old cassette radio and installed a new high end Pioneer AM/FM / CD / IPOD / Bluetooth Stereo, I don't have the old radio and it didn't work anyway. Upgraded top end speakers, along with a new 200 Watt Amplifier for incredible sound. While at the Stereo shop, I had a $650.00 Avital Alarm system installed with a kill-switch. Back side windows had been tinted for privacy, and the back seat look's like no one has ever sat in it.  The stereo is set up for a phone with a mic, and along with the Ipod Classic sit's in a factory cut out in the lower dash. I just put on the new chrome wheel lip's yesterday so no dings yet. I have two front fender Bronco plaques ( Eddie Bauer ) but haven't put them on. Present one's are good. but these look newer. I replaced most badges with new one's, and added a few new one's as well, ie; Eddie Bauer on the Tail Gate, 5.8 Litre on Tailgate ( lower left )  4 X 4 on front lower drivers side, and a 5.8 on the front passenger side..

For the BIN buyer, I will throw in a top end Magellan GPS ( $250.00 ) and a new better then factory quality Eddie Bauer Carpet kit ( $650.00 ).  Kit covers the front seat area, back seat area, and the storage carpet area including the wheel bumps.  As I said, the carpet doesn't need replacing at all, but I thought down the road it might so bought the carpet kit  .In addition I will fill the trucks gas tank with Gas for you. Truck comes with all Book's, Brochures and receipts, You get a repair manual for the truck, along with other part's manuals as well. I even have the original sales brochure for you.  I have a clear title to the truck.  I've done so much to the Bronco, I can't even remember everything.  This Bronco is a Classic and will only go up in value, so buy it and enjoy it as it does!  I'm located in the Portland Oregon metro area about 15 minutes from the Portland Airport, if you want to fly in and drive the Bronco home. I welcome a PPI on the Bronco if you have any doubt's about the quality of the Truck.  I have no idea what the minor accident was but was classified as a minor issue.  I also have no idea other then the amount of owners why it's number is so low.  My research tell's me that two it passed through two dealers and 3 owners.  That's to be expected with 100K on the Clock.  The value of the Bronco to you is what shape it's in now, and that's in pretty close to new condition. I welcome and encourage you to have a P P I done so that you can see that the Bronco is everything I've described here.  I have 3 local garages for you to chose from. All are honest and all are Ace Mechanic's!

This Bronco need's nothing but someone to enjoy it. Be it on road or off road!,  You won't find another Bronco in the shape this one is in.  It may have 100K on the Clock, but look, drives, and feel's like a brand new one! Any question call Ed @ 360 901-1545

Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.
For more details about the study and the top companies, check out the press release posted below.

Ford's BlueCruise gains hands-free lane changes and more in update

Fri, Sep 9 2022

Ford is sending out an update to BlueCruise that will enhance its functionality with some nice features we tend to enjoy on other advanced driver assistance systems. Plus, in addition to BlueCruise getting the update, the Lincoln version named ActiveGlide will get the same update. For starters, both BlueCruise and ActiveGlide will gain hands-free lane changing. Similar to other lane-change assist systems, you’ll prompt the lane change by activating the turn signal. ItÂ’ll scan for traffic, and if all is clear, the vehicle will move into the requested lane. Ford says that itÂ’ll even suggest lane changes to the driver in the cluster as you approach slower-moving traffic. What this new feature doesnÂ’t do, though, are automatic lane changes. Systems like Super Cruise and TeslaÂ’s Autopilot will recognize slower traffic, then make a pass all on their own to move around said traffic — theyÂ’ll even move back over into your previous lane after making the pass. We wouldnÂ’t be surprised if Ford adds this functionality to the system in a future update. Another update in this release is new “In-Lane Repositioning” programming. ItÂ’s designed to recognize when there are vehicles in adjacent lanes and will then shift you further away from them within your lane of travel. Ford says itÂ’s especially helpful when passing semi-trucks, and will give you the usual and more comfortable buffer that a human driver might give a truck. The final update is a Predictive Speed Assist feature that will adjust your speed as you approach a curve. It will signal to the driver in the cluster that the car will slow for a curve, then do so gradually as you approach it. This is the sort of feature we typically like to turn off as soon as possible, since weÂ’d rather just remain at the same speed for curves on the highway. But, if youÂ’re one of those folks who like to slow down for curves on the highway, this will provide a more natural driving feel. Ford says that customers have cumulatively put over 16 million hands-free miles on cars with BlueCruise at this point. This update, simply named 1.2, for BlueCruise and ActiveGlide will see its initial rollout this fall. It will hit the Mustang Mach-E first, and Ford says other vehicles will follow.
