how about this one!!!

Anyone actually read through that list? Does it seem like they are grasping at straws to justify the price by listing things like "brand new transfer case snubber" and "brand new battery hold down" wow, theres fifteen bucks worth of brand new parts right there. Really adds to the $67,000 %)

Have you? Explain...

I bought a bronco from Rocky Roads that was on consignment and it was a POS. I went round and round with Shawn and he wouldnt help me out. I paid $9600 for a $4,000 bronco. Shawn was a total jerk. I would never buy anything from them again and I would never recommend them.

Even doing it yourself, it is so easy to rack up the dollars quickly in any kind of build. I throw away all my receipts partly because I don't want to know, and partly to keep them from the wife. Go to the hardware store and buy new grade 8 bolts for the rear spring hangers and see if it doesn't kill a 50 dollar bill and that is just petty stuff. Then buy a spool of wire for the welder, a bottle of gas, etc. Then how about the tools you buy because of the Bronco. Then the money you have to spend on the little woman because a new box showed up at the door from B.C. Broncos. Does that count? Then there is the beer.......

Yeah, he actually lives right by me.

Kanter, i totally agree with you. "Good from far, far from good."
Its a paint job and maaaybe wheels and tires but thats its.

You would think for that money you would at least get a new dash pad that wasn't cracked.

5/8 x 4 1/2 grade 8 flange bolts- $4.73 each x 6= $28.38
5/8 grade 8 flange nuts- $2.65 each x 6 = $15.90

Add tax and then I guess you could probably buy a gallon of gas with whats left.

Thats exactly what mine was.


I dont know how they can stay in business. Mine was a stock 73 bronco with nice paint over RUST and MUD. It had new wheels and tires and a new motor (I think, maybe just painted motor) but EVERYTHING else was stock. It had a broken leaf pack, radiator (honestly) 1/2 full of mud, front and rear diffs full of mud, tranny and TC never rebuilt, broken glass, original brakes.... I could go on and on. Then, when I asked him about it, he pretty much said tuff sh!t. I called him a few times and then he just ignored me.

I put about $8k into it and then sold it for about the same price.

Did he twist your arm to buy it? He must have had a price on it, and you paid it. Actually he sold it for someone else (consignment). Why not be mad at the owner for making you pay his asking price?
Rocky Roads does have very high prices....... someone is paying them. Welcome to the land of opportunity.

Nope, no one twisted my arm. I took Shawns word that it was a good bronco. I only got pics and a parts list, which was a faulty list. I couldnt get mad at the guy he was selling it for. I didnt get to talk to him. I just wanted a sorry or a Ill help with parts and give you good prices. All I got was, tough shit.

Ive heard many horror stories since about RR.

I feel for ya..... I've been burned several times on the sales lot. I'm guessing he didn't know enough about the Bronco he was selling for the private party. Before this great tool called the internet, you would have found a Bronco in the local paper, and drove to look @ it & talk face to face with the owner. Now we trust words over Email & photos taken thousands of miles away, only to be dissapointed when it reaches our door step. Tough shit is right, if you took the chance @ Shawns word.
Is there a link you could PM me on the full story from experience with buying the consignment bronco from Rocky Roads? I've never delt with them, nor can I afford to, but it seems like this is one of many threads you've brought up this situation involving your experience with them. Just need to hear the whole story, so when I see you bring it up again I can fully understand.

not raggin' on ya-

-can't wait to show you guys the bronco I just found! Pics soon!

I wonder how much my yellow77 is worth?
