You should give it a camo paint job. That'll add to the value!

Hahaha.  I thought about it once, but no.   :flipoff:

I honestly think you might be able to get a lot more for it if you tore out that nasty-ass carpet (no offense) and lined it instead.

None taken.  That's why I mentioned it in the ad.  I actually said to myself earlier today, "If it doesn't sell soon, I'm going to strip the hood and paint it, and strip the carpet and line it".  So I'll probably be doing that fairly soon.  It really is the worst part of the interior.

Man, people love Broncos!  Why all the hate?!   :flipoff:

I wouldn't trade the 351 in mine for anything.  The ONLY downside to it is MPG.

Well, the bike looks much better in person than in pictures.  And let me say this, man is it fast!  Mechanically, it seemed good, and I couldn't find anything wrong with it.  Don't worry, no decision yet.  More details later.  It's been a long day.

On a crappy note, the radiator decided to pop a leak, and the alternator is going out on the Bronco.  Ugh.  I swear she's pissed I'm considering getting rid of her.  :technical:

Bronco smirking, 'Trade me will ya?  We'll see 'bout that!'

Cool deal on it seeming in good shape in person.  Will wait for more updates,..... :cheers:

Hell that's the easiest decision ever. Fix the bronco fast and beg him to swap now

He said he's willing, if I pay for the parts.  $370.  (I think I could find them cheaper than that..)  Unfortunately, I just don't have that overhead right now, so I don't see any deal happening.  Guess the truck is just going to have to sit.  FML.

We'll see.  I just don't have the overhead to repair it right now, and I'd really hate to have to leave it sitting.  I guess time will tell.

I actually just helped my friends uncle paint his bronco camo about a month ago, as  long as you dont run around screaming :woohoo: when you get a coors light, you can still hide your inner red-neck  :icon_mrgreen:

Huff1371

The inner redneck can be pushed down but never really hidden. No matter how hard you try. Just embrace it.  Hell, someone gave me a realtree hay recently and I actually wore it out before realizing I'm quite redneck regardless of trying for years not to be.
Friendly fire, isn't. But it's the most accurate. Semper Fi

shonole

If I thought it would add to the value, I'd do it in a heartbeat.   :cheers:
