Hey all, just joined and thought I'd introduce myself and say hi. Colorado native and currently Bronco-less which I'm looking to correct as soon as possible :D
Of course now that I finally have a decent amount to pick one up the CL ads seem to have suddenly dried up.

I've been crawling the CB forums learning as much as I can so I can have a better idea of what to look for in purchasing my first Bronco. If anyone has any advice (i'm sure you all do :)) about what things to look out for in the CL ads and whatnot it'd be much appreciated.

Look forward to seeing you all around and hopefully meeting some of you!

Welcome to the club! Good luck in your search for your Bronco.

Howdy and welcome! My only piece of advice on Craigslist is this....anything worthwhile is grabbed up within a few hours to a day of when it's posted so you need to be vigilant and check the ads hourly each day.

Good luck with the search!

Yeah I've been checking them hourly for a while now and at least daily for months before that. Since they get snatched up so quick is it best to just have cash in hand when you go look?

Hey welcome to the club! Im constantly on craigs looking for something the wife hates it but hey I get good deals..If you have an idea what you want I can keep an eye out..If I was to buy one again Id get one that has the 5.0 mustang motor in it cuz I love fuel injection when crawling, also I like the front dana 44 axle with disk brakes, and power steering is always a plus.. If I had all that in my 66 already Id be on the trails but instead Ive been hunting part by part which is ok cuz I get a feel for my rig and I get to see how everything works and what I can put into it as i build it..just depends on what your looking for a crawler or a pretty one stocky or extreme everone has their different flavors..Either way your on the right track just keep cash on hand at all times and keep looking I always find the deals but dont have the money on me at the time..lol love that..anyway good luck on your hunting and welcome to the club these guys are awesome and very helpful!!

And the best tool for you to employ in your hunt for a Bronco is...another Bronco owner. If you've never owned one of these before, you're going to want that set of experienced eyes there with you. The kind of guy who knows every inch of his truck to find all the flaws in your possible one.

Where abouts are you located?

Post up where you are located and there are sure to be members close and happy to go on some viewings with you.

Mainly lookin for one to get offroad for some campin and to get to the trailheads. I'm big into hiking/backpacking and have caught the 14er bug and starting to get more into mountaineering. A good 4WD can shave several miles off an ascent if you can get as close to the TH as possible. I've always loved the classic Broncos and decided it would be the perfect rig for that!

Located in Denver in between City Park and Downtown. I've seen a few EB's over here, maybe they belong to some folks here

Welcome to the group...........

If you ever need one looked at on the SW side of town (Littleton, Lakewood, Highlands Ranch) just let me know

Welcome! As others have said, if one interests you, jump on it right away. You may not need a pile of cash on hand, but people will generally hold it for $500+ depending on what price range you are looking in. Also agree that it wouldn't hurt to have another set of eyes to look at it with you.

J.D.

Welcome! Curious to see what you turn up. I'd be happy to take a look at anything up north (Frederick, Erie, Longmont Boulder, etc.) with you.

Excited that you found the club. I really enjoyed looking for my Bronco and talking to owners. I realized real quick that people views are different. Ads that said perfect were alway far from perfect. Hopefully you can find a Bronco this summer and enjoy the hiking and backpacking. Thanks for the intro and let us know if we can go look at Broncos with ya.

I'm hopin so too! Worst case I'm hoping I can at least find something to put together over the winter for next year if need be.

Many thanks for all the offers from everyone for help looking at one. I'm sure I'll be taking a few of you up on them.

If there's anything IT related I can help anyone with let me know! That's about all I can offer in return besides

I'm in Thornton and posted a "sweet 73" for sale here. By the way I did add a "obo"! Take a look. It will be outside this Fri. and Sat. at our community garage sale with a for sale sign on in. I also have a pretty sweet 1984 1/2 ton 4x4 long bed Chevy pick up for sale. 134th & Holly, Marshall Lake subdivision.

Welcome to CCB. I hope you find a Bronco you'll enjoy for years. mine just sort of fell into my hands on a barter deal. I have wanted one for over 20 years. So im sure youll find the one youll like.
