New to Colorado.

[Geologist]

Just moved here from NC. I am a 31 year old former Ford Technician turned geophysicist. I have owned my Bronco for about 5 years now. I have been waiting for a garage to work on it and now I have it. It has been a daily driver until about a year ago when the transmission (T18) and transfer case (Dana 20) began leaking so bad I was refilling them once a week. I have already began removing them. They should be out tomorrow and then I rebuild them both.

While it was sitting for about a year, cracks appeared on both quarter panels between the upper and lower (at the seam). I bought it from a guy who did the body work and I guess he used a lot of BONDO.

Both door window frames just recently broke (near the windshield), so I have to re-weld those.

My to do list is large, but my wallet is small. So for now, I will be fixing what needs to be fixed. A few things I want to do:
1) Coyote motor or 4bt (can't decide)
2) 5 inch lift and 38" tires
3) Cowl hood and repair the body
4) Better seats.


I look forward to meeting fellow Bronco nuts. If you would like to see a closer look of the bronco you can see them here :

I forgot to add that I have not been able to come up with a name for my Bronco. Any suggestions?

[Justin]

Nice rig! No name suggestions, sorry.

[Kinder]

Looks great, I saw your post on ACB so I know folks have pointed you in the right direction. If you'd like a hand with anything just ask, I'd love to help with the trans.

[Geologist]

Thanks Kinder and Justin.

Kinder, I noticed many people belong to both ACB and CCB. Feel free to drop by tomorrow after lunch anytime if you like. I am picking up a transmission jack in the morning to make things a little easier.

That's awesome, look forward to seeing it in person, I have one suggestion, Mean Green :) otherwise I've got nothing

[Geologist]

I like Mean Green!! Best I have heard yet. PM me if you need my address and plan on dropping by.

[Geologist]

Just scored a parts washer and transmission jack for $100. Time to drop the tranny and transfer case

[B.O.B.]

[Colorado75bronc]

We already have a Kermit, don Alison's hunting bronco is Kermit

[Kinder]

Nice score

[B.O.B.]

well if Kermit is taken, you can call it slimmer until all the leaks are fixed

[Jesus_man]

Thanks! So far my wife and I have really enjoyed it. The weather here is amazing! We relocated because of work. We lived in a very small town in the Mountains of NC. Not much there other then Walmart and fast food. Kind of a culture shock here but most people seem to be real nice.

[Colorado75bronc]

I live in colorado springs, but I hope to see you at one of the events

Mean green is out, no Kermit either..Now you see why it has been tough to name.

Slimmer, from a classic film.

I live in colorado springs, but I hope to see you at one of the events

Colorado Springs is a nice place too! I will do my best to be at the next event. Trying to make the one at Bronco Hut this month.

[Colorado75bronc]

I'm planning on going to the meet this month, hope to see ya there

[casadejohnson]

"Kato" would be my suggestion.

[D&D72]

I'm with Casa, "Kato" would be an excellent name!
