My new toy is a 5.0, but not a Stang!

The LX has a new friend in the garage. 1996 Eddie Bauer Bronco, stock as the day it was delivered:

I've always loved these trucks, as my first car was an 86 Bronco.

Next up, a little stereo and security work and some window tint. Then I'll leave it alone for a while and keep it a DD.

04Sleeper, had to blow through Dallas to come back to Memphis a little quicker than anticipated. Still likely to come there before you have your sales meeting here, though.

looks clean how many miles?

 

[alanw6]

It turned 96,000 on the ride home.

This truck has been in family since new, so I know its history entirely. It *really* is a true example of "never been off-road", lol. I've been trying for several years to get this truck!

Those are awesome in the summer with the top off.

Oh yea, you are correct!

Next up is a "custom audio build diary" on the full size Bronco forum.

can't wait to see the audio stuff!!

Gonna keep it simple, as the truck is going to need to keep a good percentage of its "utility". In the stang, naaaaaaa!!

Using a bunch of gear I've had in storage, should be a ground pounder, which is something I'm not against.

Plan to use my Eclipse 7002 video deck, undecided on door speakers, an Xtant 3300c amp and will finally have a home for my JL 18w6.

Install will hide everything but the box, which will be wired to allow quick disconnect and removal. It will also allow me to rotate various sub enclosures, something I'm notorious for doing.

The truck looks awesome dude! My dad sold his 94 Eddie Bauer Bronco 2 summers ago, and i regret him doing that so bad. It had 70k on it, 351w, interior was mint, body was in excellent shape, and pulled like a dream. They are really good trucks, and i'd love to have one for a daily driver.

gas mileage has to be rough in those big girls

 

[stprorolla49]

We got around 15-18 mpg in our 351 Bronco. Not terrible for a truck that size, but still not great.

Looks good Alan.
