Another FNG!

Welcome Erin.
Tell us some about your Bronco.
Lifted yet, tire size, etc.
Pics don't hurt either.
We don't have too many Bronco's in the club - just two or three older ones and there was one newer one that came to the last ride but they aren't members just yet.

It's a 1990 Burgendy (I call it Red) colored Eddie Bauer edition Bronco with a 5.8-liter V8, has tan interior, and tan fiberglass rear-roof section. It's totally stock, except for a new transmission, and Flowmaster cat backs. The transmission only has 58K miles on it, the original owner was a Dentist, and used it to pull his boats around, so he replaced the stock transmission with a better one, or heavy duty one from what I was told. I've got the reciept for it, I'll have to look it over closer to see what kind of transmission it is.

Everything works on it, except for the AC, which I'll have to get fixed come summer time. The body is in great shape, no dents, or rust. The paint looks great, except for the hood. You can see where the clear coat is fadding, bad factory job or something. I had a similar problem with my 1993 Mustang, the right front fender would fade, but would shine with the rest of the car when I waxed it. So hopefully the hood on the Bronco will as well. The interior is also in great shape, few minor stains, nothing major though, not a single tear anywhere either. The back seat looks like it's never been used. The seat belts were replaced as well, they are gray colored, which I'm told is the standard color when you buy them from Ford. The guy tried to repaint them to match the interior, but all that paint has chipped off.

Overall I'm very pleased with the Bronco, most of the ones I looked at over the past month were overpriced rustbuckets that had been abused, and heavly modified. I wanted something stock, or as close to stock as I could find. Picking up where someone else left off on their project is always a pain. This way with it just about totally stock I can do my own modifications, and know exactly what it is I'm doing.

I'll get some pictures up this weekend for sure.

Thanks for the welcome.

Hi Erin...  My name is Lee Anna Wright and I'm the Membership Chairman for RCRC.  We would be glad to have you join us at any of our upcoming meeting, rides or events.  Our Calendar is posted on our website at http://www.rocketcityrockcrawlers.com/calendar/default.htm.  

Here is some general information about our club: http://www.rocketcityrockcrawlers.com/about_us.htm

Our monthly meeting is the first Thursday of each month at Golden Rule BBQ in Madison, the next one scheduled on 3/5/09.  The meeting starts at 7:00, but we all usually get there around 6:00 to eat.  At each meeting, we typically set up a ride or two for the month.   (Note:  we're in the process of looking for a new meeting place, so watch the forum for updates)

Along with club rides, our club puts on the "King of the Hill" event annually.  Check http://www.koth4x4.com for some great pictures!

If I can answer any questions, please let me know....

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Man, that would be great. I've got all kinds of questions, hehe. I was hoping to make the club meeting tomorrow night, but I'll be stuck at work probably until 10pm, or later. Hopefully there will be a ride soon, and I'll get to start meeting folks from the club.

Just ask for us.

lol Well you missed some good food for sure !
