Getting Into The Christmas Spirit **FREE Stuff for YOU!!!**

[Gummi Bear]

OK guys, here's what happened. Last Tuesday I received my Bronco Driver magazine. Velvet ropes parted, wine poured from the heavens, and all of the sudden I was the most attractive man alive.......

Today I get home, give the Mrs a smooch, play with my daughter for a few minutes, and the wifey then informs me that I received a new magazine today. I dig through the mail pile, and to my surprise, I got an extra issue of Bronco Driver & another Wild Horses catalog. SCORE!!!

So I sat down with a beer and did some thinking, some real good thinking. My revelation was this: I need to send this issue to an underpriveleged EB owner on the board!

Here's the catch: In a hundred words or less, I want to hear how much you and your Bronco need to have this magazine, and how it will change your life. Cheesiness is encouraged Enter your essay now, and they will be received through midnight tomorrow (central time) I'll choose the top three, and Friday we'll all vote!

I will announce a winner on Friday night, at that point PM me your home address and I'll drop the magazine and catalog into an envelope and send it to you to enjoy the goodness that is Bronco Driver.

**Disclaimer**
I'd like to send this to someone who has not yet gotten a subscription. Whether it is difficult to find locally or they just don't have the extra few bucks for it. I'm taking you all at your word, so be honest.

Additionally, I cannot guarantee that you will receive the same results that I have. I can guarantee however, that you will love this magazine!

funny thing, i got an extra issue also.

 

[paint669]

I could use an issue

 

[73stallion]

I could use an issue

what? don't you subscribe?

 

[Gummi Bear]

Paint - so convince me that you need this issue, and it's yours. I'll pay the shipping even.



I'll sweeten the pot a little bit more. The UPS guy stopped by, and delivered my new straps from 4WPW, in the box I got a virgin copy of the latest Off Road Adventures. I'll toss it in with the BD and WH catalog if you write a good story!

Something is messed up with whoever sends the magazine out because I have received duplicate copies for the past two months. Luckily one of my troops has a 77 EB and can't afford to subscribe himself. He usually just begs me to let him read mine when I'm done, so he's not really complaining. I wrote an e-mail to the editors telling them of the issue, but never heard back.

 

[HILLBILLYNA68]

Maybe they're sending extra copys out assuming you'll give them to non subscribers and they'll see what a great mag it is and subscribe ?:? Even if its a screw up on their part, they could still come out to the good with the new exposure.

 

[BroncoBilly22]

Give it to FirstSergeant, so he can pass it along to whoever needs it. Anyone that makes a full-time job out of defending our country and our freedom deserves everything and anything!!

If not, I just bought my first Bronce (1966) and don't really know the first thing about working on them. As long as there is any helpful info. in there to guide me, I believe I'm a deserving candidate.

But, for the record, my vote is still for FirstSergeant!!

 

[VBH289]

I also have an extra, same above, want it? PM me why you want it and its yours, then subscribe and have your own!

 

[oops]

I'll give the essay a shot. O.K. here we go.....

The reason you should give me the Bronco Driver mag is because last weak I rolled my bronco at 40+mph. My bronco is my baby and I want to keep it alive as long as I am but at the age of sixteen my knowledge is limited and I want to learn everything there is to know about these trucks. I'm also working with a dishwasher budget (I will take out a large loan once my Z-400 is paid off though) so any low budget/quality fixes/mods will be used. I need to no what the good parts are and what to stay away from because I do not want to be experimenting. Another reason you should give me the Bronco Driver is so that I can see all the bronco get togeithers so I have events to try and get to. I would like to see all the trails that I should make a point to get to as soon as possible and the nearest bronco clubs. (And here is the corny part) You are a bronco god and I worship your knowledge and praise your superiority. There is no one on the face of planet that can match your driving skill or conquer any of the lines that you walk over and.......well ok thats enough brown noising for one night.

 

[73stallion]

i feel sorry for oops, i'm half tempted to send him copies of the last three issues. i have extras. how'd you manage to roll your bronco?

 

[tx1ton]

Jeez Jason, you're a nut man!!! too funny!

I got extra's too - even an extra WH catalog...anyone in need can PM me too if you'd like...hell, I'd prefer to send it to one o' the troops over in Iraqiganifstan who needs a bit of home reminder but if anyone is dying for some really excellent bathroom reading let me know! ;D

My username if Fool Injected but it won't let me reply to posts. I rolled my bronco ona dirt road going to friends house. I was going down the road with images of big oley and the baja dancing threw my head so I was going at good clip. All the corners up to the corner I rolled on were nice a tacky until i hit this sharp downhill right hand corner that was followed by a straight away that was still gradually going to the right. When I entered the corner it was more slimey because of the trees shading the road and not allowing the moisture to dry out as quick as the others. So it went into a slide, no big deal, and I corrected but as I was coming out of the corner the dirt was tacky (no tree cover) and when I hit that it straightened out quicker then could uhh...uncorrect. Now im pointing left on a right hand corner (uh oh) although it wasn't to bad but the combination on downhill corner that had a crown that dropped to the left and the fact that the road was still gradually going to the left all added up to BAD. Now I corrected I specifically told myself not to over correct but all those factors added up to rear ned still coming around alittle but I did not have alittle room left and my right rear tire hit the wet grass along side the right side of the road and it swung around like I hit ice and put me totally sideways. As i was sliding along side the sholder I looked and saw a small hole and tiny berm after it and when I saw this I new luck wasn't going to get me out of this and said "I'm sorry" (apoligizing to my baby of course). At that moment I felt the right side tuck under and the road come by door then a crash and glass explode into the cab and the roof hit my head so I closed my eyes. Part way threw the roll it was quiet (we were totally off the ground and rbarrel rolling the air) and I opened my eyes, because if im spending thousands for 1.2seconds of fun I want to see it, and saw the windshield floating over top of the hood and the other glass floating in the air along with some tools but when the glass started to hit my face I closed my eyes again. Some crashing and there we are sitting sideways across the road right side up totally unhurt. I kinda laughed (it was fun but I felt so bad rolling my bronco) and my buddy went "whoa" so then I tried the door and it wouldnt open so I said guess were using the indow and i reached up to pull myself out of the back window (half cab) and got my only visible a injury a tiny little piece of glass in my hand then crawled out. My buddy went out his window on the door after bending the fame out of the way. As soon as I got out Istarted picking over the bronco, adding up cost and asked if my friend was o.k.

Well thats most of it but i'll add in the rest when I get pics up.

 

[73stallion]

glad you're okay...

 

[oops]

Thanks so am I expecially since my friend is o.k. We were both wearing our belts and I think that helped a lot. I just feal terrible rolling a bronco though. It feels like I damaged part of history. There isn't a vehical out there that I wouldnt of crashed instead of my bronco. I'm pretty sure that if it had been a more experienced driver it might not of happened but it was a bad situation weither or not your a 16 year old driver. But hey its just another life experience and my bronco will be better then befor onec im able to get a loan a build it the way I want to.

Why I deserve a little slice of Heaven in my mail box:

I, Joshua Trapp, will admit that I am a "rice rocketeer." I, at one time, drove a lowered Integra (with correct suspension mods, engine mods, etc), and I currently drive a lowered Mazda Miata with similar quality mods.

Though, something has touched my life recently in ways I never imagined. I have come to the realization, I have seen the light of which there is little to compare. In a vision filled with joy and glory, I saw a vehilce flash before me. It was a dream, a foretelling of what was to come. I looked far and wide in attempts to identify what exactly that amazing vision was. My eyes finally rested, finally found the truth in the sight of an EB.

Since that night, my life has changed. I have worked hard to try and pinch my pennies, keep my dollars close to the piggy bank, in hopes of saving just enough to find an EB project to call my own.

I am just a college student, in his final year of school, preparing to become an elementary school teacher. I have aspirations of reading and learning all that I can get my hands on, attempting to fill my head with the knowledge of EB's that my heart is so eagerly craving. Of course I still plan to read and study for class... but who is to say an EB study break isn't the prescription I need to keep from the boredom sickness of school?

If I were to recieve this gift, this overflow of blessings, I would be forever grateful... forever changed in heart and mind with the increased knowledge and addiction to the EB I one day hope, dream, and pray to achieve.

It's not hard to believe you're going to be a teacher Joshua. You describe things exactly like my dad. Which is not a bad thing.

Bingo. If you are on the Wildhorses mailing list, they included a complimentary issue with their new catalogue. The same thing happened to me the last time a new Wildhorses catalogue came out.

Well thank you very much Mr. Bronco Brad. Is your father a teacher currently, former teacher, in education, or is he just well eloquent and spoken?
