Speaking of being drunk... There was this one time my drunken brother and I were sitting in our shop staring at my Bronco which at the time had it's top off, and leaning against the wall were a couple of hitch rails... A Bronco hooked to a goose neck trailer?! How cool would that be! I gotta dig for those pictures. 26' gooseneck flatbeds look good being pulled around by Bronco's. And Gators.

Or, you could what I did, and get involved in an accident which leaves your right knee unable to bend, so getting in any vehicle with tires taller than 31 inches is impossible. Going to save me a ton of money on lifts, and large tires.

PS: Of course, I COULD invest in a step stool with a leash attached so I can climb into my Bronco, then pull it up by the leash...

Agreed Gruesome, that's an awesome Bronco, (and I prefer it over the Mustang.)

You'd be surprised about car shows though. Those Mustangs are everywhere, yours is an (moderately) rare antique collector's item.



As for tires go, I can see how that can be! It's why I told myself straight up that 31" is as far as I'm going to go. I'd probably be planning upgrades if I hadn't.

Put in a shipping dock at home with the settlement money. Hobble your happy ass straight into the driver's seat.

Maybe something like the fold down step on the tailgate of the new F-150's?
