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

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!

Detroit Three autoworkers could get huge bonuses

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

For a long time, being a line worker for one of the Detroit Three has meant living with an uncertain future. With the health of American automakers on the rise, though, things are also starting to look up for the men and women building the cars. The latest sign that things aren't bad? Big profit-sharing checks.
According to The Detroit News, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler could end up paying over $800 million to 130,000 workers as part of a profit-sharing plan. According to The News, the economic impact of these profits in Michigan alone could exceed $400 million, besting the NFL's Super Bowl, MLB's All-Star Game and the NHL's Winter Classic for their economic impact.
This is the third straight year the Detroit Three have issued profit-sharing checks to UAW employees, and for many workers, the checks are as close as they'll get to a raise, due to the most recent contract between the union and the manufacturers. On average, employees at GM and Ford receive $1 for every $1 million in North American (not just the US) pre-tax profits. Chrysler, meanwhile, gets a similar deal, although the Auburn Hills-based company calculates profit sharing using 85 percent of the brand's global profits.
