Great site!

My stepdad gifted me his 96 bronco after I said I wanted it when he was done with it. I waited 19 years to get the call. I finally registered after finding answers to just about anything I needed. Never even had to post. Great job on the site!

Marti Report

For those of you who are like me and you want to know the deep dark details of your Bronco, there is a great thing called Marti Report. Basically its like a build sheet, they take your VIN and tear it down, then send you all the details. It isn't exactly cheap but I found it totally worth it for my 78.

Here is the website:

https://www.martiauto.com/reports2.cfm








They can replicate a new metal door tag, and a sticker. They can list all the options your truck came with and more!
It isn't only for Broncos, but most Ford vehicles.

The total before shipping was about $116. Its about $46 for the Deluxe version, plus I added the optional metal door tag, the inspection sticker, and having the paper printed. They will send a PDF file to your email with the details.

Like I said, it isn't totally cheap, but worth it to me. They go upwards of $200+.

Yup! It does take a while though. The PDF comes in a few weeks but it took longer for the physical stuff to arrive. I wasn't overly happy about that but once it arrived I forgot that.

Well that's just something! I think I just found out some useful information from the Big Bronco FAQs I've skipped over before. I've had this clunk when I take off for quite some time now that I wasn't sure where it was coming from. I had the U-joints changed and some other things so I figured I'd get around to finding out what it is when I change out my ball joints and the rest of the front end.

I know I've read the Big Bronco FAQs page before, but I skipped over the part about the clunking noise! I guess I better check that slip joint in the drive-shaft and grease it up! It never hurts to go back and read over things, even after 9 years!

I got a Bronco because I like the fusion of old and new technology on my 1993 EB. Its got a removable top and smoke windows, but has leather seats, overhead console (OK added but close) , ABS, and a MUCH more refined interior than the K5 Blazer or Ram Charger. If you like the full size, "milk carton" looking SUV's; the 92-96 Ford Bronco is the final iteration of that design.
