Hello Guys.
Once again, I want to thank everyone here for your help and advice while searching for the right Bronco.
We decided to purchase Daisy out of Tennessee and had her shipped to Fort Lauderdale last week. I immediately had to put a new clutch in, but had her ready for a car show/meet-up on Friday night in Dania. We then spent the weekend enjoying her around the A1A Strip on Fort Lauderdale Beach. I couldn't believe all the looks and high-5's we got all weekend. It was even better when my girlfriend was driving, rather than sitting in the passenger seat.

Back to the shop today

While doing the clutch, I noticed two leaks on the PTO for the winch (both on the clutch mechanism and the output shaft. I'm taking her back in today, so they can pull the seals.
So far the only other issue is with the headlights. They were working fine, but then stopped after I used the high-beam switch for the first time. I would guess it is a short in the switch? The running lights all still work, and the high beams (well, one of them anyway) work as well.
Here are a few more photos of the undercarriage...

Welcome aboard. The high beam switch on the floor is probably the problem. Very typical so just pick one up and change it yourself.

Enjoy and it's a very nice looking rig.

Thanks! I would love to meet up with the SE Early Broncos. It looks like there is an event in early March, but I may be out of the country by then. In the meantime, we're planning to go mudding here http://www.devilsgardenmudclub.com/

And if Daisy isn't broken yet we're going here http://suncoastflatlanders.com/forums/showthread.php?4888-FL4WD-campout-Jan-25-27

Nick's Trix

After enjoying our Bronco so much, we've decided it's time to give something back to her.
So we loaded her up this week and trailered her up to North Carolina for a restoration at Nick's Trix.
What a cool spot, and a really nice bunch of guys. It just felt right to be dropping her off in a place where we know she will get the attention and care she deserves.

Congrats!
