DAmn, wish i could afford that. I saw this truck in pismo a few years back, its a beauty, id say keep it. Even if it sits, at least that gives you the OPTION to drive it.

Chris85xlt

I had a few guys offer me 5k for mine. I can pass along there info to you if you want it. Just PM me.

I too was wanting to sell my bronco. But then i snapped back into reality and realized that there is no better truck out there and i would regret it... Hope you keep it. There's always more you can do to it. Just drive it more so you break stuff. That way you always have things that you can fix!

Not to change the subject but, do you have a new project in mind or in the works? Anyone who modifies a vehicle as much as you did HAS to have something to work on.

Look guys/gals if you don't want Chris to sell his Bronco stop talking about how awesome it is. You have to post things like I wouldn't trade my wife's dirty underwear for that truck, it's a total disaster. Breaks down every time out and this guy Chris is a total dusche bag, He can't weld worth a shiat. That will keep him from selling it. Sorry Chris this was all just for effect of course. We all know Chris is totally cool and has some mad fab skills and the truck is totally awesome and one that most of us are dreaming of having. Good luck Chris with whatever you decide. I will miss seeing you and your truck together though if that day ever happens. Hey, if you can't sell it, I'll take the D60 and 14 bolt from ya'.

Knowing what I know of your truck I would in a heart beat. However, being out of work since June leaves me with no $$$ to even think about it. Hope you end up keeping it, but if not the new owner will be extremely happy.

I wish my wife would let me spend the money! If you done all that work how could you sell it, I would think you would almost have some kind of bond with the truck. I know I do with mine and I havent done half what you have.

Great looking rig with all the right TLC! Hey there's a guy in Craig's List with a black 85' similar to yours, why not just buy it & start over? You already know what to do....or we'll just swap & you can do your magic to a 96' XLT & go from there!....Nice ride you're gonna miss it....:thumbup-Kevin-
