Do check that the said mechanic has the proper tools, re-gearing is a high presicion task, if it isn't done right you'll end up with worn gears very soon.

Traction bars won't help you off road, and will most likely cause issues, if you find ones that can be disconnected for off-road use you'll be ok.

Ya, im not gonna risk messing with installing the 4.1 gears i ordered. that's what mechanics are for. However i'm gonna do the body lift myself with the help of my buddy.
Have to call ford motor company to get this 4x4 module done to. Probably gonna cost a fortune. Hopefully not tho.
Also need them to figure whats up with the rear window. It goes down an inch and stops, and it will roll back up. It weird i figure its the tract.....

Got high hopes for this vehicle.

You could check that yourself, not all that hard, get in the cargo area, take the carpet of the tailgate (if it does have), take out the access panel, there you could check the internal to see if you find anything unusual. You could also try lubbing the internals, Grey would recomend graphite grease in order to avoid the crud left by petroleum based lubes.

Don't worry, the Bronco will live up to your hopes and her reputation, it's a great truck, mine has taken me everywhere and back in my country.
