Hi, I thought I'd say hello and introduce myself. My name is Caulin and I live in the SF Bay Area. I've never owned a bronco but have ALWAYS wanted one. I currently have a 1971 fj40, which I'm hoping to sell and finally make the switch! And I have to say, thank you to all of the members for putting your knowledge out there. This forum is priceless for anyone interested in Broncos. I really appreciate it. I look forward to metting all of you on the forum and (hopefully) on the trails! :)


Ps. If you know of any good bronco deals in my area, let me know. I am very much in the market and dying to get my first bronco.

Welcome. Got a friend with an FJ40. Awsome vehicle!

But, congrats on your decision. Let us know what you're looking for in a Bronco. $25K show truck or $1500 project?

Yea the Fj40s are alot of fun. Mines been great to me. It's mostly all stock so very reliable, but a strait six with a 3 speed leaves me a bit wanting. And It is just way to original and clean for me to do an engine/transmition swap. If it wasn't a daily driver of sorts it would be a prefect car.
I'm looking for a bronco in the 10-15k range. Not looking for a bone stock bronco. Somthing that can do well offroad but not to extreme as to where I can't drive it regularly on the road. I personally prefer manual to auto. but hell I'm not that picky I'll take any leads ;D

Hi There -

Looks like we are in the same boat - newbies looking for Ms. Right. Being in Cali gets you a lot more Broncos. Seems like that is the biggest state on most eBay searches. Stay positive - I am sure we will both find true love soon.

Welcome, glad to have you! I'm sure you've already noticed that this is the coolest site on the web, all kinds of info and a lot of great guys who will point you in the right direction. Good luck on finding the right one, for that kind of money you will get a really nice rig. Now get out there and sell that japanese jeep and get some american iron! You won't be disapointed!
