OK guys, I had to do it. The Bronco was killing me gas mileage wise. I'm averaging 8-10 miles to the gallon running on 35's with the 3.55 gears, plus Momma refuses to ride in the Bronco since it's not al creature comforted... (no A/C since I'm converting to onboard air, loud as shit with the K&N and Thrush glasspacks) I looked high and low for a vehicle that would accomodate my needs but need be selling out on the Bronco, I couldn't possible live with myself if I purchased a GM product...yet it still had to be manly. So... I went and purchased an 89 Range Rover Classic, it needs a little attention, but I plan to bring it back to pristine condition and then use the Bronco solely as a fun truck. No need to worry anymore if I break something on the trail, just get it towed home and I can still get to work! I'll post pics soon, I wanna clean it up a tad since it was a little ole lady's and she never washed/waxed it.

those are cool cars dude but you're not going to get a whole lot better mileage out of one of those hogs. and pray you don't break it, cause holy crap are those things expensive to fix.

neat car though, not sure if it was owned by ford in the 80's or not, but in my book you're golden. :thumbup

You sure the mileage is much better on a Range Rover Pan2sa ?????


Like Oregon said

be prepared to be reamed for parts ! They make Nipponese car parts look cheap !

All I can say body-wise is DO NOT throw out even the most beyond repair part, as you're gonna want to rebuild it because it just plain ain't available anymo' !
