Keep it stock, it will be worth more that way, and you are “preserving” it for the future
Pretty good idea
That’s a good idea. I would also recommend NOT removing the top. Not worth the effort and you’ll never get it back on like the factory did. I regret taking mine off.
Preserve it so some guy in the future can radius cut the fenders and throw boggers on it in 30 years?
Preserve and keep it for sentimental value, and of course the value will shoot up
Marco Jasso but it looks so cool without the top
This unit is so well kept that it must remain stock at least the exteriors. Very nice truck.
I still love this model bronco.
The new Bronco is great but this looks more like what I would call the iconic bronco.
Michael 0788 Kinda wished that they also offered a full size Short whee based F series Bronco again like the 2nd-5th generation full size bronco did maybe will get one in the future again.
So did oj and AL COWLINGS
I see that “don’t lose sight “sticker from it’s just a 6
someone needs to show Gavin
Jay Moar it’s just his saying
Love the.. "flew to BFE and drove it home" stories.. really shows how much he wanted it
You Bet!
For $4200 I would've drove it from Alaska to Miami. lol
In 2016 I flew to Orlando FL to buy an 86 Mustang convertible 5.0/5spd and drove it all the way back home in Nebraska.
I like how they highlighted the crooked eBay headlights.
The Green is called Pacific Green, I had a 96 F150 the same color with a silver two-tone. It is honestly the best looking green I have ever seen on any car or truck.
ONLY vehicle that looks good green till this day... Well maybe that new mustang Bullet or the new Audi A5 but that’s about it
Looks very clean for an old vehicle. The first owners must have taken really good care of it
Nothing at all wrong with Caleb's Bronco here, but I wish now, that I could have kept my 1975 Bronco in XLT Ranger trim package with that wonderful 302 VB.
It was a bronze color with while top and in the day, sure looked great!
Gt40 heads, cam and edelbrock intake with shortie headers, I did it to my 95 F150. I love it even more now!!!
I have a 92 F-150 with auto hubs....never have failed me.
True, while they still weren't ideal for strength vs good aftermarket ones. They still held up fine if people did actual bearing and hub packs like they should have instead of running them till the grease was tar.
We has an '81 when I was a kid. Loved it! I parked by one last week that was Cummins swapped! Amazing! I hope they bring these back next.
@Bryan James they have said they are making a Bronco brand, so maybe...
I enjoy the series talking with real owners about their vehicles. The Bronco has been an American legend in its own right in the car industry. Love the 1970s models.
Woah, nice coincidence. I’m buying a '93 Bronco Custom with a 5 speed tonight
So how's the truck?
Why is it not in my driveway yet? What’s taking so long?
Lucky
I had a 93 custom automatic. Great truck I miss mine
Mark Deluisi pretty great. Engine only has 40k on it and clutch was done a few thousand miles ago. I plan to roadtrip with it
Own the same Year, engine, color, XLT. Owned it ,sold it , bought it back. Happy ever since 👍
I have a mint condition 1994 302 XLT. Only 86k miles. Grandfather gifted to me. Super thankful.
This rig is beautiful. Thanks for sharing
I have a 1995 F150 4x4 5 speed 302 V8 that I bought used in October 1995. Recent changes were 4.56 gears, 33” BFGs, leveling kit up front, and Auburn Gear locker both front and back. It still looks very much like stock, but so much more capable now. I took it up Sand Hollow sand dunes a few weeks ago, then to Toquerville Falls after that. It did great. Did not have to call Matt’s Off-road Recovery, which was my only reason for visiting that area 😃
Very nice truck!! I love the 90's Ford's.
I had an 89 with a straight six and I loved it. I also have a 74 with a 351W for wheeling in CO. I reserved a Limited Edition 2021 Bronco late last night, the dealer already called me about the options that I want. I can't wait.
My wife and I have hundreds of thousands of miles of experience in 4WD vehicles - mostly in Utah. Never a Bronco but it was on our short list of possibilities back in the day. My advice: Spend your time driving your Bronco in the back country to gain experience about capabilities and wheel placement. It will be time better spent than studying and installing modifications. It is amazing where one of those can go with a world-class driver behind the wheel. One exception: If you ARE going to invest in a modification, replace the limited slip with a locking differential (differential locker). That will allow you to retain the looks of that beautiful truck. And I don't think you can do better than the BFGs.
Love the look of these Broncos
That was a block heater cord , connected to an element that warms up the coolant , not the oil , sorry eh .
What a hoser eh
it could be either.
Way to catch them! But your comment is meaningless because it will confuse people as to the purpose of heating the block in the first place
@@ipdjbt No. All Ford, GM, Chrysler and foreign cars/light trucks I know heat the coolant. It is referred to as a block heater because the water transfers the heat to the block and that in turn heats the oil, heads, and combustion chamber.
@@aqgh1 there are oil pan heaters that attach to the bottom of the oil pan. And there are block heaters. My statement still stands.
I daily drive a 96 bronco eddie bauer 351 auto mass air flow efi its good
Yeah Jacob so how is it?
“Yep”
-Caleb 2020
“Cali-Spell” Montana lol 😂
My 78 with 460 and 4-speed still rolling strong.
That's a wimpy truck. ... kidding
It’s a dam gas Alcoholic
I owned one with the 351. The 351 was about 210 hp. Yeah, that's sure some "brio" alrighty. The 302 was 199 hp. The difference is in torque. 302 = 270 ft-pound, 351 = 328 ft-pounds.
Ya it’s weird I have owned both and the 351 was a dog compared to the 302 but it was carbureted maybe the reason why lol seemed to spin up faster then the laggy 351 did
My 99 explorer with a 302 had 210 hp
My 1980 had the 302 carburetor motor with the v6 auto..3.50 gear ratio and manual hubs...put a 2inch lift and tried 34 inch tires and ended up with 33s being the sweet spot with that gear/tire combo...16 to 18 mpg city..up to 22 highway if you didnt hot dog it and were driving downwind..lol
I had a 94' with a 351. My neighbor had the same vehicle but a 302. I got better gas mileage and pulled the hills better with my 3300# boat as well. He had to keep his foot into it, I didn't.
@@herb7877 no doubt..the 302 didn't have the mid range torque and sometimes i wished it had a 351...and with any vehicle the correct combo of gear ratio/transmission ratios/tire diameter makes all the difference in the world....mine worked well...pulled a dual axle u haul covered trailer stuffed to the gills..a ex ...three daughters under 5 and the rear of the bronco stuffed with a weeks worth of clothes, huggies and a cooler from Sacramento to Michigan ..other than doing 35 mph up the continental divide it did ok..lol...12 mpg all the way
My brother had a 96 bronco with a front bench seat and vinyl flooring. It was my favorite vehicle ever. I was most fascinated with the springs that hold the hood up!
Beautiful truck, I have always been a fan of these. When I was a kid a person who lived down the road from me had one. As a young kid I didn't remember the makes and models of most cars, but I remembered this one due to the tire cover with a horse on the back.
Awesome, I have this Exact same Bronco except it’s a 1992 and it’s all stock. I only changed a few things like adding a 6” lift, 35” BFG’s, and a replacement grill guard bumper. Got it as my high school truck and still have it. Love this thing been a Bronco nut since I was a kid. It runs better now than when I got it back in ‘06.
My dad had a '91 Eddie Bauer... I miss that truck... It was sluggish and slow as F, but so cool
The new Bronco is a masterpiece
I hated it when it first came out but now I really dig it... still keepin my '96 though.
Glad to see Nathan more lately in TFL videos. I've missed him for sure.
Very Nice truck! Had a 96 with the 5.8 ... lifted just 2” with 33” BFG KO2’s. Awesome off road. And very cool with the top removed; it’s heavy, but I was able to remove it by myself with a little forethought and pre-planing 😎 still miss that truck.
He's seems like a very smart young man. Such a beautiful vehicle. I miss my black '89.
Love the truck. This is my favorite generation of Ford trucks. Ran a 93 F250 460 up until last year. Gonna be looking for another F250 or 350 with the 7.3 powerstroke after Christmas.
If possible find an idi alot better and cheaper to maintain and fully mechanical
Great looking ride!!!! I have a 1986 Bronco, but have lots of work to do on it. Motivated now!!
I got a 95 bronco that I drive everywhere, best daily driver ever
Without a doubt
Jay Moar Good daily can tread anything you throw at it, just keep in mind the car gets like 9mpg lmao
@@jaymoar3561 Perfect in every way except for mpg... lol
block heater usually heats the coolant not the oil. could be a sump heater. id bet its just an element that goes in a freeze plug hole on the block though
I had a 79 XLT Ranger an 82, 92,95 Eddie Bauer Bronco and I wish I could get one again. My most favorite vehicles of all time.
Glad to see people are out and about meeting people in person again.
I love the Bronco II. I’d love to find one in good shape... especially one with the 80’s/90’s Eddie Bauer package with the pine trees on the seat upholstery and all that... awesome package.
Grew up with a 1986 Full size, I loved that truck.
“Don’t Lose Sight” sticker on the back left window. I see that Itsjusta6 sticker.
Same. A little bit of good ol' unplanned exposure for DLS and itsjusta6. (was gonna plug the giveaway but figured better not make TFL get pissed at Gavin and the guys)
That’s awesome that he has it there
Bro that’s my dream since I’ve seen them coming out new ! I’ve got two Bumpside Broncos made in Brazil 🇧🇷 but those last model ones especially 351 5.8 V8 Eddie Bauer are something else ❤.
I love this video congratulations from Adelaide South Australia 🇦🇺
Beautiful bronco. I love that body style, broncos are awesome! My son is in the process of getting one, although it's not in as good a shape as this one. Thanks for the video
I remember my dad's blue Bronco & my uncle red Bronco when I was a young boy. That sure was many years ago. Also my grandpa's old Ford High Boy.
I had an 82 with. 302 2 barrel. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED that thing.
Looks like my '95 F150 xlt 4x4 same forest green, but with teal under trim paint. Love the look! Everything on my truck is stock, including the old cassette player!
I had a white '93 XLT with a 4" lift with 33" Duratracs. I thought that was the perfect set up. Could have gone with 35's and a 6" lift but I didn't think it looked as good. Downside was I had the 302 with 234K miles. I live in the high desert and would remove the roof one Memorial Day and not put it back on until Labor Day. It was a fun truck for what it was.
OBS is maybe my second favorite bronco body style
And that's says a lot
I've owned two FS Broncos. An '85 EB back in the 90s and an '87 XLT two years ago. The '85 was a fun vehicle. The '87 was a monster. I traded IT work with a rancher. It had custom bumpers with tire carrier and front winch. The best part about it was the drive-train. It had the I-6 and 4-speed. Only had 31" tires on it and a rear limited slip, but it was a mountain goat. I was (still am) sad that I had to sell it.
I owned the same Bronco! I sold it with over 200k miles still going strong. I changed out the hubs as well. 😀🔥👍🇺🇸
AWESOME RIDE !!!!!
so rare to see one this clean
I’ve got a 96 Eddie Bauer bronco with the 351 too, identical except maroon and auto hubs. completely factory and every thing on it works perfectly. Never been a ford guy but I love the thing.
Nice 96.... I have 95 5.8 l with 290,000 mi on it still runs great. Was offered 25 to 30 k for it last year.
Had 2. An 86 XLT and a 93 XLT. 302 in the 86, 351 in the 93. 302 was out of a 00' explorer. Ran awesome. 351 had punch out of the hole but ran out of steam at 4000ish rpm. I still think the exhaust is the biggest cork in these trucks. My 86 had shorty headers and no cats. Made a huge difference. Loved them both, but i miss my 86 the most.
Had a '86
Same colours, same trim. But with the 302.
Done the same mods. Warn hubs
33".
Loved that truck. Wish I had kept it.
I loved my 1981 Bronco. I could take off the top in 10 minutes.
Had a 86 bronco 2 and currently a 90 bronco with 351. I have enjoyed both.
Real nice looking truck. Very good video.
Can’t stand when he ask questions he already knows the answer to.
In El Paso County by the old farms you will find a lot of old broncos, blazers, f150, 250, silverados, cheyennes, jimmys. All well kept and stock. Almost every house has one chilling under a tree or in the backyard.
Man this beautiful 96 Ford Bronco looks extremely beautiful. It looks a million times better than any modern vehicle you see on the road today.
agreed
My uncle has a white 96 Bronco that he’s had for quite sometime. He’s been a mechanic for almost his whole life and keeps it mint. I think he’ll keep it forever.
Beautiful truck! My wife wanted one of those back in the day! Eddie Bower edition and that color. Too bad at the time we couldnt affort it!👌😎👍very cool!
I've had my 91 for almost 30 years. Love it.
Love it! Nice truck
Paid $2900 for a really good 94 when I was living in CO back in 2009. No rust but then I moved out east and a little rust appeared over the rear fender wells. Damn I miss it but I don't miss 13mpg, lol. Hopefully the 6g gets something better.
Best $4200 this kid will ever spend...
$2500'is a good price for a good condition one. Over $4000'is ridiculous.
@@matriximaster You get what you pay for good luck getting a Bronc for 2500 that doesnt need 4500 in work either now or shortly down the road. Im not saying its impossible im saying its highly unlikely. Here in Mn 2500 will get you a rusty 175k mile rig.
@@matriximaster lol your a fool
@@matriximaster 4000 is pretty good for a bronco that nice
I only paid 1000 for my 93 xlt with no rust but had some beat up trim panels a couple dents and the window regulators and motors shot and 275k with everything stock and/or the original except for a set of 31X10.50R15 that just makes it look like more proportioned
just bought the exact same truck with 186k miles for 4 grand, Absolutely love it!
As a chevy guy, I always thought those broncos where soo freakin nice.
Had a 86 Eddie Bauer full size. It had a 302 it was AWESOME. I'm sorry I ever got rid of it. It pulled great and 4x4 worked great. I live on the east coast so it was good for where I lived terrain wise.
Bought my Red sport Bronco back in 98, 19,000 miles on it at time of purchase, currently has 367,000 miles on it. Runs smooth never had to change the head gasket. It's on the third radiator but other than that no major mechanical issues. Just wish they could of done a better quality made interior the plastics back then were terrible. Il never sell it.
Love it! I have a 96 and would like to get it fix up to look more stock!
I had a 79 with a 4" lift, total rust bucket. I still loved it for the year I had it.. my 351M had no power, my F-100 I traded for it had a 351W that was a beast.
My dream truck is this exact bronco with the white and tan paint. I’m hoping they don’t go up in value too much until I can get one
4:20 I see that Don't Lose Sight by itsjusta6 decal on the window. Cool to see the unplanned placement of one group's brand on another group's channel.
I like it. Would love to own one.
I bought a 1995 XLT. The other day. I am in love with it.
Keep it stock, preserve it.
I had one exactly like that. I sure miss it.
The 5-speed manual was available, but not on the larger engine (i.e., 5.8L). With the 5.8L (351), your only option was the automatic.
Last week I picked up a 1993 XLT Lariat , power windows , power seats, 302 motor, I paid $700 it’s gonna need a lot of work ! But it runs , just passed smog (California thing) and it’s gonna be a long time project
we LOVE our 1995 Bronco!!!
I got a '96 4x4 XLT, with all leather, 5.8 EFI, on a 2" lift and 30" wheels, in baby blue, all steel horizontal front grill instead of that plastic chrome, power windows n doors, and nice exhaust.
I would never leave it stock, it's not enough truck stock.
Girls LOVEEE hotboxing in it, they think it's so big and nice ;)
Have a '94 with a 351W in it, bought it from my dad for $2500. I love the thing, has a good amount of power for a truck it's size.
lol, please, 12 mpg in the mountains...Anyone that had a 351 will laugh at that.
Mine got 10mpg at all times. Wide open throttle or driving like a grandma.
The manual hubs are worth a few mpg. I had a 78 C20 4x4 400 automatic with auto transfer case. It got 8 mpg. I advanced the cam 4', headers, duel exhaust with turbos, recurve kit in the dist, manual hubs, and a manual kit in the transfer case all yielded 4 mpg. For 12 mpg it was money well spent. My new ride is a 95 Grand Cherokee 4.0 that is getting 13/18. But they want 1500 bucks for a manual hub kit. Yikes! That's 20% of what it took to completely rebuild the drive train, and not worth it to me for 1 mpg or 2.
Exactly my thought lmao
sweet ride. i’m a blazer guy, l have had three. my current one is an 89. i always liked the bronco and the later ones had beautiful interiors. the k5’s have plain interiors and always looked dated.
The blazer was my child hood dream truck. I bought a 1985 when i turned 23 and it was the biggest pill of junk. The steering column broke. It got stuck anytime i try to go off road and on the way to a fire call one night the motor died and left me on the side of the road just two years later. Very heart broken that my dream truck was useless. In 1994 I found a 1990 bronco thought i would give it a try and it has been the best vehicle i have ever owned. It has taken me on thousands of fire calls. Saved me and many others lives literally. It is a off road best. It has 330,000 miles on it today and i still drive it. Its not my daly but it will stay in my family until the day i die.
As referring the Bronco II, my 84 B2 rolled June 14. 1991 & I’ve been paralyzed ever since. No one told me they were tippy. 😢
I just bought a 94 bronco A few days back and I love it
It has 141000 miles on it, had a bunch of service done to it, a lot of parts replaced. The only major issues were battery needed changed, needed cleaned bad, and then an oil change. Has Some rust on the fenders and rocker panels but other than that it’s solid
Alex W. How much was it
My favourite truck ,love the resto mod lamps 🔦 and lockers
To be honest, this is my absolute favourite Bronco model. The 2021 is nice, but i love a big box and small wheels like this 96.
I'm fortunate to have a forest green Bronco of the same year myself. Not an EB Edition, but an XLT is good for me.
Seattle here.
I have the exact same vehicle. Similar condition. This is Bronco #3 for me.
Not taking the top off this one because it too hard to get sealed back up.
I see Kaleb is also missing the elusive rear cargo cover. I've seen them go for hundreds on ebay.
For the record O.J.'s Bronco (actually AC Cowling's) was a 93'.
96' is the only year that got an OBD2. 👍🏾
My grandfather had a 1990 Eddie bower bronco with only 30,000 miles on it. Everything is original. Looks brand new!
Watching this makes me miss my 1994 Bronco. Mine was an XLT but had the same engine. Unfortunately, my daughter didn't know the role that coolant played in the engine and it seized up on her and my wife didn't think it was worth putting a new engine in. I probably would still have otherwise.
There’s 2 of these in the parking lot of the airport I work at. One is right beside a 68 bronco with awesome patina.
Im building an 86 Bronco. 347 stroked 5.0 roller. Has a trick flow twisted wedge top end kit. Its roughly 500HP
Its my daily. Its been my daily for 4 years now.
I bought mine for 3k. In the same condition.
I was offered 15k as is.
The great thing about these trucks is. Modified or stock. They have a huge following. And retain their value either way.
My advice would be. Keep it! You’ll never find a compatible replacement.
He got a heck of a deal and one that someone took care of. I think I'd keep it mostly stock but would add a nice dual exhaust.
Swapping the heads, intake, TB Assy, and exhaust systems woke mine up. Don't forget to upgrade your injectors to 19lb explorer EV3 injectors. They are drop in. Then look up the sixlitre timing bump. You'll have gobs of torque and your mileage will improve a bit.
