Sad, sad day in my house

**RRRAAAYYY2** · 05/28/07, 06:14 PM

3 years ago I searched for a year looking for a decent Bronco (78-79), and found nothing. So I bought a 2x4 Suburban in mint shape with a great body, for cheap.

I have since spent 3 years looking for a Bronco to replace it. No luck, and to day I had to purchase another Suburban. This one a little newer, 4x4, and lifted already a little bit. A real POS compared to the 78-79 Broncos, but it beats a station wagon I guess.

So if anyone has any good sites for these, let me know please. (Putting on flame suit and getting ready for all the suicide prevention links, LOL )

Every person that has ever held a Crescent wrench is a Chevy expert, its the quality EB sites and mechanics that are hard to find

I've been seeing a lot of 78-79 Broncos with pristine bodys in the salvage yards out here in Colorado. Been harvesting axles and steering boxes off some trucks that should be on the trail. Getting ready to put a solid axle under my 83. I'll keep my eyes open.

sad time I had to get the submarine an pull the the ''Bronco'' out of the mud in one of the back pastures ...I may have to swap tires just to see if that is why my bronco sticks more than the sub ...

Out East was a blast, a real blast of rain and snow, LOL. Still had a great time and sealed a lot of deals, and met a lot of great people. Our event is going over really well with everyone from the government right down some retired guys we met. We are now up to 4 days instead of 3 too.

Here is a link to a link of video i shot well down there:

I am so pissed at it right now. My '79 I didnt lift or anything, just tossed a set of 35's on and away I went. My '91 Burbon has a 3" Ranchareo suspension lift, and I am barely going to be able to put 33's on it. Not a happy camper. Not a big fan of body lifts, but.........

On another note, a happy note, there is the sweet smell of river mud being baked on my exhaust now. Took the kids and my dad for a quick ride throgh the river, nothing serious as it only has 31's on it right now.
