I started thinking….. Now I have a problem, and it is a Bronco addict’s worst nightmare. That freakin Dave Ramsey……. EVERYTHING he teaches in financial peace university is a blatant disregard of a Bronco addict’s way of thinking and living. What does he mean? ”save money”……“plan for your financial future.” …….“Every dollar has a name so Tell your money where to go and what to do before it’s even in the Bank.” This leads me to my problem….It’s time for me to part with my Bronco addict tendencies. The wife and I agreed that we get to keep 1 Bronco until we can achieve baby step 7. Some of you already know what I am talking about (Baby steps) because you have been through it. I encourage those of you that struggle with finances to at least check out what he has to say.
So here’s what is happening. Every Bronco part I don’t need for my “Junko” build must be sold. I have a bunch of parts and some are worth some money but most aren’t. Whatever money I get out of my spare parts is what I have to finish up the “Junko” build. So since a lot of my parts are not desirable any longer like 3 speed Trans, Dana 44 with drum brakes, frame but no title, etc….. I think (and this is what gets me in trouble) that a complete running Bronco would net me more cash than trying to sell the parts by themselves. I wasn’t going to do a build thread on this but I decided to because when I look back on some of my previous threads they have helped me figure out what the heck I was thinking at the time I did it! It will also serve as a diary of sorts for me, and the new owner when the Bronco is completed. So enough of the background of why I am building it and on with the build….. Here are some pics to get it started.
The first 3 pics are of the frame and front axle, and stock suspension before I disassembled media blasted and painted them. The rest of the pics are of the painted parts and some bushings which I sold some other parts to pay for.
