It looks great for the price, and the setup is the same as mine, unless yours is a MAF. The only things i don't care much for are the cap and the steps.

How can you not like that cap Encho? That's what makes the Bronco.

I agree on the steps, look at how much clearance you lose.

I like the cap, and honestly it adds visibility for folks being able to see you at night due to the extra running lights. I travel to AK often and think its helpful.

those running boards just collect dirt,snow etc.. Great looking rig otherwise.

ok got the title changed into my name and got new plates for the hell of it. also changed the air filter and bought an oil filter. going to get some oil and spark plugs this week and do them over the long weekend.

also fixed the crooked bumper which was just a few loose bolts. going to order some fender flares also so i can fix the rust then install the flares. need to decide what to do about the tailgate if i should get a whole new thing or a patch panel for it..hmm

oh and i added some 194 LEDs i had to the cargo light.

i need to take and wash it and detail the interior but have no time right now.

If I lived in Alaska, a Bronco is what I'd want to be driving!

The weight distribution is so much better than a pickup. I was amazed at what mine would do in just 2WD with the limited-slip rear end.

A 94 Bronco IS the perfect Alaska vehicle. I only wish my 5.0 had some more power.
