1994 Ford Bronco XLT Additional Info:

Please take your time and read through theentirety of my post as it covers in detail everything about the truck and will, hopefully, save both you and I time :)
With sadness I have decided to put my 1994 Ford Bronco XLT with Tow Package up for sale. I have spent countless hours and thousands upon thousands of dollars bringing this beast back to life and making it a truly unique truck that is fun to drive and reliable as can be, there really is nothing like it out there. I guarantee you will turn heads like a Lamborghini, but unlike an exotic sports car you can go anywhere with this truck, and I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to hop in and drive across country, or up to Alaska, or down to the tip of South America, on or off-road, it's ready. I've decided to sell for the sole reason of saving to buy a house. I own the title, and the title is clean. Price is firm, I know what I have and these trucks are only going up in value.

I will try to list everything I've done to the truck as well as what will be included with sale, but first lets get some of the general information out of the way so you can get an overall idea of the transformation:
The truck has approximately 17,000 miles on a good clean rebuild and runs strong and smooth. The truck passes smog with ease and throws no fault codes (code reader will come with truck). Everything electronic works, front driver and passenger and tailgate glass is new with new window motors and regulators as well as new electronic side view mirrors. The AC system and cooling system including heater core is all new, AC blows nice and cold and Heat blows good and hot. I swapped out the original gauge cluster because the odometer had a failing display, so the odometer reading is not true to the truck (chassis has approximately 170k miles on it). The new gauge cluster also allowed me to use Fords PSOM programming to calibrate the speedometer for the larger tires, the truck has been re-geared for the larger tires and has 4.88's front and rear and is a ton of fun to drive with lots of low end grunt and the ability to happily cruise with or pass traffic on the freeway. The front end of the truck has been completely rebuilt with MOOG parts and Rancho 9 way adjustable shocks, the rear also has new rancho shocks. The steering system is completely new and upgraded for no slop and easy turning of larger tires. The braking system is also new, including a new 4WABS (took nearly 3 months to find that!) The automatic transmission has been serviced and lightly upgraded and shifts firm and smooth without any slippage. 4x4 works like a champ, has upgraded manual hubs and lockers both front and rear with approximately ~2000 miles on everything, this beast will take you anywhere you want to go regardless of terrain or weather. I completely stripped the truck down and raptor lined the inside, outside, and interior, the truck is rust free and has a straight frame and a great body. I replaced all the weatherstripping with a new weatherstripping kit from Bronco Graveyard. The interior has been refreshed with new carpet, new headliner, new upholstered bench seats with seat heaters in the front (not wired yet), and all interior panels have been painted to match. I have upgraded all interior and exterior lights to LEDs, as well as put in a bluetooth / hands-free headunit and new speakers. I have also upgraded alternator and the main power and ground cables (Big 3) for better electrical flow and operation of any future electrical add-ons or upgrades. The tires are basically new 35x12 General Grabber AT2's sitting on Mickey Thompson III's 15x10 with approximately 2000 miles on them, the spare has been replaced with the same setup. The truck has also has 6 inch suspension lift and has slight fender trimming to clear even larger tires (Has had 37" tires with no rubbing). All fluids are either freshly flushed or well within intervals and have been swapped to synthetic. The truck will come with tons of extra stuff like a soft top, spare parts, and more things to upgrade that I did not end up getting around to.

As you can see from the parts above I have everything needed to really wake the truck up, just didn't get to it, but you can, or you can part it out, all those items are big ticket items and would sell fast. Tons of various parts for you to either keep for the future or sell, things that I took off and don't feel like parting out, things I gathered to replace or upgrade and didn't end up feeling the need to get to, such as the stock exhaust pipe I took off due to rattling, a couple extra grills (one OD green like the rest of the truck, one black billet), stock light housings, window regulators, windows, stock throttle body, gears, intake, manifold, wiring harnesses, sensors and senders, brackets, stock alternator, stock power steering pump, stock steering box, etc etc etc. Probably a couple thousand dollars worth of stuff in boxes is yours if you want it, otherwise I'll probably end up just tossing it or giving it away to another bronco owner who wants spares. It has value, but not worth my time parting out a hundred different items.
THINGS THAT AREN'T PERFECT:
As you can see from everything above, the truck is truly awesome and ready to take anywhere without concern of a break down or failure. That being said, it is not perfect. I will go into detail on everything I can think of that irks me or could use attention.
The biggest item here is a leak from the Rear Main Seal, it isn't bad, but it does leak. I do not have to top off oil between changes, but it will drop a bit where it is parked and if you don't clean the underside often you will see it on places like the oil pan. This is the biggest deal with the truck and is the only leak on the truck. The truck will creak and groan when working the suspension, it is not dead silent like a new Jeep when taken off road. A little grease and you can quite it up nicely, but I haven't bothered with that in a while. The weatherstripping on the vent windows was a pain in the ass to install, it seals and you can use the vent windows, but I would consider getting another weatherstripping kit for the vent windows (70 dollars I think) and having a shop do it. From time to time you may have to give the shift selector a giggle to start the truck, not a big deal but I don't want you calling a tow truck because you think it won't start, the truck fires up like a champ with the new ignition, starter, and wiring. The typical spare tire carrier reinforcement spot could use a spot weld, I don't know how to weld or I would do it, wouldn't take more than 5 minutes if you know what to do. The exhaust pipe you see exiting the side is fine and functional, but if I were keeping the truck and going on with the performance mods I would redo the exhaust. There is random feedback from the stereo/speakers I haven't had time to trouble shoot. It is quite most of the time, but occasionally you'll hear it for a few seconds and then it'll go away. I think it has to do with either the antenna feed or the microphone. The Airbag light flashes, I've replaced the clock spring and all relevant fuses, but it still flashes. The fix is beyond my electrical skills. This is a common issue on bronco's, and has many different routes to fixing, I didn't feel like chasing them all down. You could just remove the LED bulb if it really bothers you. The ABS light flickers, I don't know a better way to describe it. I've had it checked out to ensure proper operation, and there is no fault, the system works fine, but the light still flickers, again, you could remove the bulb if it bothers you, but I kept it in so if a real fault shows up and it needs to actually light up I'd be aware. Lastly, I have not installed seat belts on the rear bench, as I usually run without the bench in the truck for greater capacity for overlanding / camping. I have the original shoulder belts, as well as lap belts, you can decide if you plan to regularly carry more than three people and want to install them and what style you want to install ( I got the lap belts for use with the top off or the soft top, I would recommend going with those, and if you want I can install them, its about a 10-15 minute job, really easy ).
PRICE IS FIRM, 20k. This Bronco is set up for another 25 years of awesomeness, there is still room for you do things like a solid axle swap or a back up camera (I'll be including one) or whatever, but it really needs nothing. If you want a reliable, extremely capable, and truly unique Bronco let me know.
PS. I have TONS more pictures, if you'd like to see more of the truck or its actual transformation from when I started on it and the painting process, videos of things like the windows, 4x4, tailgate working, or anything else let me know.
