Red face 89 bronco general help

hey guys im back again

i got my 89 bronco with 33s"
im coming down to the fence either spend the money to fix it up or ditch it.
its got a western plow on it as well
it needs an oil pan cause it leaks through a rust spot. trans pan gasket front shocks and passenger and rear window motors.
its got 148000 on it

is it worth it and reliable enough for a daily driver? or should i sell it and get something alittle newer

take it for a ride if it goes down road fine fix it.
Plows are hard on front suspension, If you repack bearings every year and grease everything often . There is no reason you couldn't use it as a driver.

Oil pan and trans pan are common problems . and you probably just need a gear kit for the window motor. . Its not to $ to redo fromt end ,coils tie rods ETC
If you like it keep it. I sold mine 4 yrs ago and still miss it.

Hey if it runs well . New coils and ETC can be put on over time. The tranny may cause problems butif it just plowed a couple drives it should be fine. Hey have fun just look at all repairs that can be done over time or with used parts be fore you start . Don't want you to run out of funds .good luck
