I too am not trying to be a kill joy. If mine didn’t have sentimental family value I would have found something else. I bought mine with my girlfriend in 92as our first thing we bought together. Got it from the original owner. Got married in it. Drove it daily until 2000 when we had our 1st girl. Stashed it in the garage for 23 years. Figured a good budget at the start was 40k. Looks like that will double. It will be completely stock except for the lift.

Well- a frame off won’t be quick or cheap, especially if you have it done professionally. You’ll be at 50k before you know it. Trust me.

I have been seeing some really nice broncos for sale on a number of Facebook bronco site lately. Drivers in the 35-50K price range.
