Seriously I want one of these so bad. Just add 31's and it’s ready to go. In the summer it’s an amazing convertible and in the winter it’s great in the snow. Now to find one that is both rust-free and not going for a stack of cash.

And this last one is just because this thing looks freaking amazing: (except the wheels)

I agree. They’re great. Just wish they towed a little more/better.

Yeah, I can fully understand that. Back in the day I’m sure it was better.. but now it’s not that impressive. I don’t tow much so it works for me!

My baseball coach had one in 1995-6ish I loved it. Then one day he showed up with the top off... I was blown away. + late 90's Eddie Bauer was fancy as shit:) Cool truck.

The tailgates rusted so badly on those. I wonder what the aftermarket is like for body repair?

I love these as well. You can find them cheap, or rust free ... but not both :)

Topless Bronco is best Bronco.

Offspring and doggo agree.

I would still be blown away seeing one with the top off! They are cool as hell.

Factory rating on my 88 was 8600 lbs.

Damn sir! That looks great! How long have you had it? How do you like it?

My brother in law has one and he has been able to order replacement parts without issue. The fenders and tailgates are bad. The tailgates though have the roll down back window, and that’s not a cheap piece. But it’s fantastic none the less.

I know. I’m okay with a little rust. But most I’ve seen are seriously bad.

I only drove it for about a month, and I loved every minute of it. Sadly the tired and abused 351 gave up the ghost and I didn’t have time for a heart transplant. I’ll probably get another come springtime, though.

We had a white 86 and a red 91 as a kid, they were the coolest.

The kid? It looks approximately 2.5-3 years, he probably enjoys it.

Huh. For some reason I though the limit was closer to 5000, and maybe a bit lower.

Yep.

Well most have the 302 while mine had the 351, so that may be a little more accurate for your “average” full size Bronco.

It was well enjoyed by the 3 year old.

Yeah, I read 4800 somewhere.

I’m sure the car Bros that only want to drive the finest German cars may not find them amazing. But other than that I think everyone loves them!

Damn that’s a nice truck! I would miss it like crazy! My hope is someday to find one in that nice of condition.

Yeah selling it was a mistake. All because I wanted to buy a car to learn stick. Such a waste.

Now that gas is cheap and their values have skyrocketed, yeah.

They’re not too terrible around here.

2200 for what appears to be OJ’s old ride. The last couple of years get pricey though.
