The thing I don't like is intermittent problems or problems that happen at the same time.<br>The things I like are that usually the vehicle is driveable while trying to solve the problems, and that the Bronco is a simple no frills truck.

[quote author=vbro link=board=5;threadid=7845;start=15#55089 date=1028848430]<br>AND ANOTHER THING....no interior light.<br>kinda hard finding that right sized wrench in the dark :-U<br>[/quote]<br><br>On that note, I saw a bronco with a cool upgrade. On late model chevy trucks(I used a 93) they had a light under the hood that has a coiled wire attached to it. I got one at the dealer for $39 and now I have an interior light, plus I can unhook it and pull it around the truck...I think it's about 20 feet long. Very cool.

This is easy<br><br>1) it's only half put together. (I'm rebuilding it right now)<br>2) It isn't painted yet. (I'm rebuilding it right now)<br>3) I CAN'T DRIVE IT!;D (I'm rebuilding it right now)<br><br>Other than that there isn't anything I don't like about my Bronco. Just wish I could drive it. I think I'm going to pick up a second as a project so I can work on one and Drive the other.

<br>'80's Ford trucks had a under hood light option. The cord was pretty long and it was on a take up reel, a little tug and it recoiled the cord.<br>OK a legit gripe: the Bronco lean.<br>Alot of peeves sound like they can be taken care of in a few hours. I know easier said than done.

1. Brakes always creating some kind of problem after I fix something else.<br><br>2. Lack of funds to purchase more bronco parts.<br><br>3. Lack of space for the bronco.<br><br>Other than the above, I can't wait to work on it and test my new fix or upgrade.
