Wow that is totally awesome!!!

Hey let me ask- Do you ever take the top off the Bronco? I have always wondered about getting a Bronco as kinda a fun 4x4 (much like a Wrangler)... What is it like taking the hard top off? 2 person job? I mean 50% of the Jeeps I see have the tops off..... but I would say basically 100% of the Broncos I see have the tops ON. Just wondering if it was a cool concept to take off, but not really practical...?

Thanks. The top has never been off my 96. I do go topless with my 94. It is a 2 person job though, I am working on a "A"frame set up to be able to do it myself, just have not had time to finish it. Heres one with the 94 topless

I'm always on the look out for Broncos (and other old Fords) to add to my harem. We're already thinking about doing a long bed trailer for a slide in camper.

Wife and daughter are going to look at a mustang for the daughter this afternoon. No, it's not going to be a new one.

I like the idea of the 4 wheel drive and we now live in North Georgia and it does snow. I even toyed with the idea of finding a nice 79 bronco body and putting the truck engine and trans in it.

Hey all,
If you saw the news the other day and it talked about the car bomb explosion at the airport in Afghanistan, well we were heading to that gate at the time it went off. We usually do not go out on Sundays so we elected to depart 30 minutes later than we would have only because it was Sunday or we would have been in the middle of it. Needless to say but the mission was scrubbed that day. I'll take Atlanta traffic over this crazy stuff any day.

My replacement should be here sometime the first week of next month!!! They recounted my days here and they are going to let me go a week earlier than I expected, should be sometime the last week of July that I will be heading back and I sure can't wait!!!

Indy looks like it will be a wreckfest this year, everyday they have another person that creams into the wall.

Yowza Chief! That's nuts... that pic is sweet though, of the smoke coming up. Any pics of the family's newest addition (05 Stang)??
I have an 06 and I don't think I will / could ever get rid of it. They styling was just spot on with that retro look to me.

Bronco- I really like that look with the top off!! I remember a buddy having an older (early 80s maybe?) Blazer like the old K5 style. He told me the same thing about the top being a 2 man job...so it really never came off. I always just assumed the Broncos were the same... I wonder if they make an easier to remove soft top for Broncos like a Jeep Wrangler has?? I would love to drive with the top off all the time if I had one...

Ex-Nascar, Ex-Ex Indy, and now back to Indy Juan Pablo Montoya got a big win. I was kinda rooting for either Helio or Marco Andretti. My neighbor was like "I picked Dan Wheldon but I don't see him" I was like you know he passed away at a race a few years ago, right? He was genuinely shocked. I figured he must not be a big racing fan...

A customer/friend had a 95 with the soft top. He said he loved it compared to the hard top, I just can't justify the cost for one right now.

I got the year of the car wrong, it is an 06, I don't have a big pic of it yet. I saw it on on craigslist and saved a pic. It's grey with a black leather interior, V-6 Automatic. Not sure how good this is going to show up. One more day left in May!!!
