I found this Bronco on ebay. I waited until the last 20 seconds of the auction and still got outbidded. I had spent the last few days before the end of the auction corresponding with the seller. As luck would have it the winning bidder was a flake and seller contacted me. The truck was delivered to me in the OC from Hesperia today. Nice that I didn't have to make that 200 mile round trip.

I'm really happy with this new Bronco. It's a 1995 XLT all blacked just like my current Bronco. The only difference is that my daily driver has tan interior and this new rig has grey which is one of the reasons why I purchased this ride.

Here are a few stats:
1995
5.8 with 79,000 original miles
One owner
vehicle is in awesome condition, check it out.

Future Plans:
Mount my Solo Motorsports gear (radius arms and beams) I was saving for my Class 3 build. Deavers and Solo shackles.

Cosmetic:
Limo tint all the way around. Have the entire truck detailed.

Oh by the way, the seller knocked down the price by $500.00 if he could keep his wheels. He sent the truck with a nice set of rusty rollies, lol.

Four Door Magnum Bronco has gone from a eight seater to a one seater in a little over a month.

Not to mention a ton of extra interior pieces from multiple broncos:

Gotta carry the cooler, tools, spares, I need the room.... just kidding silverslk. It's going to be a four seater but I had to remove the carpet and the carpet glue. I gave the original seats away to a friend and will be ordering Twisted Stitches' TS-1 seats (four of them) soon. It will be a one seater temporarily. It's definitely going to look funny driving around like that.

Very nice. Can't wait to see what you do with this 4 door.

Not to change the subject but I have a crew cab short bed that fairly similar... Mine needs real shocks and equal length... hopefully soon I will be able to do it.

BTW... it's multi colored because I bought it after my buddies old lady wrecked it.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as not many dare to build heavy pigs like these.

I really like that crew cab Philofab. How is the back spacing on those hummer wheels? At least that's what they appear to be. What size are those Toyos? Post some more pics of your truck I really dig it.

The back spacing was fine with 35x12.50x17 Parnelli Jones Dirt Drips (not a good tire IMHO) but those are 37x13.50x17 Toyos and they rub the inside rear wheel wheel a little. I think I have about 6"-8" lift on it. It has National 8" rear springs and 6" fronts with a 3" spacer under the coil. 6" drop brackets (Going away soon!) and 3 degree eccentrics on the front for alignment. Custom built 52" radius arms. I still tow 10K with it. Oh... this truck has been to many races for chase services.... it goes offroad a lot!

I actually like the wheels set inward because I have not had wheel bearing issues and the power steering still works well with the limited wheel scrub.

You do have to bore the center of the wheels out to clear the hubs on a Ford.

Here is a link to the H2 wheel tech info on Offroadfabnet. Some pics of my wheels on there too...

I just noticed the Magnum bronco has power front windows and manual rear? Is that right?

Yeah it does. Strangest thing. Not sure why it came that way. Not sure if I'm going to run power to the rear ones but it would be nice to have them all powered windows. Does your crew cab have powered rear windows? If so, can you post some pics of your door panels?

2nd row power windows didn't come 'till '95.... at least on the 4 door Broncos.

Yes it does.... I will get some pics tomorrow... because I left the truck at the shop. The back windows also go all the way down... unlike some cars.

Thanks Philofab. I may end up retro fitting the rear door windows with the power windows of a 92-96 crew cab.

By the way, everyone lets vote for our own TCM GLX aka Tony for Fullsize Bronco of the Month:

Door pictures.

Got some pictures:

Door 1 (Driver front)

Door 3 (Driver rear)

Door 4 (Passenger rear)

Leaf spring to wheel clearance

If there is interest and the admins are ok with it I'll do a build thread in here. I know it's not a bronco.

Does the driver door control all four windows? Can you post a pic of the switches?

Yes please create a build thread. I'd love to see it.

My vote is to start a build thread for sure! Four doors are sweet-i've almost sold the bronco to buy one a few times already...

Door switch...

Let me know if you need more pics/info.

Does anyone need some couch material for their home?

And lots of panels that won't be used:

So on my way to Pick Your Part to look for a 92-96 front end for the four door Bronco I drove past this bad @$$ rat rod. Is this the new bat mobile?
