Broncos are used primarily to drive around famous men who have killed their wives.

Lol yeah, they are very top heavy especially when they are lifted. but the flames are going bye bye when i shoot the whole truck with undercoating/bed liner stuff.... no More rust or scratches when trail riding
if you like it, buy it! You dont even want to know what I just spent in the past hour, I litterally ordered a motor from Japan along with a bunch of other stuff. People think i'm crazy but its what I like. Make sure you drive it or atleast sit in it. I went on a quest today to more exhaust/performance shops than I can even remember. Along with that I stopped at dealerships to see if there would be a newer car for me to sink money into. I was set on a few vehicles, WRX, S2000, Civic Si, 350Z. WRX, didnt feel right and insurance is crazy, S2000 I closed the door and wanted to get out so fast deffinately not the car for someone 6'2". I felt clausterphobic and wanted out. Newer Civic Si the inside was just weird the dashboard is like 5 feet long and paying that much for that car is a bit silly. Much roomier but still eh. 350Z wow I love those cars but for the model I want its out of my range and then thats just the start, I cant keep something stock.

if you can get one like that for 550 bucks its a steal

My family has 5 fords
-2007 ford focous
-1997 f150 2wd
-2004 ford exploer
----
And i own 2 fords
-2003 f350 4x4 lifted 6inch with 35's

In my opinion i would buy nothing other than a ford. My friends has a bronco for mudding and its a beast in the mud.

I own a set of Wrangler MTR's and if you're smart you won't buy them... I have never had so many problems with a set of tires in my life. I'm going with some Nitto trail grappler's come tax time.
