Thats a good deal. What happened to your back? I remember you wanting door panels a while back. Too bad you have to sell it.

What happened is exactly unclear .. Originally I got Kidney Stones but once they were gone I was still having a lot of back pain, went and had a bunch of MRIs and what not done and it turns out one of my vertebrae is thinner than normal and is fractured, docs want to do surgery and fuse it to the vertebrae above it, but I can't have that done for awhile because of my job .. So I need to sell this thing to help pay off the 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee I bought for a comfortable daily driver ..

My dad broke 3 vertabretes in his neck and 1 in his lower back a year and a half ago in a dirt bike crash. He went througha lot of pain but the drugs helped him get through it. Hope you get better.

Get the most money for your bronco you can it sounds like it's worth it.

I'd love too hehe .. been trying to sell it for a few months now, having the damndest time .. Like I said, its worth a small fortune in parts compared to what I am selling it for, I just can't take it apart with my back the way it is.
