Opinions Please

I've been lurking for awhile now and I am looking to pick up this Bronco, but I first wanted your folks's opinions. It's a '95 with a 115k miles, medium royal blue, with ugly blue interior. Carfax looks good except for a minor accident which you can also spot by the overspray on the hood hinge. Asking price is $2500.00. No rust other than the spare tire carrier, despite having spent half of it's life in Hawaii. Take a look at the pictures and also really look at the engine bay, by the fender. Is there a vac hose missing? Thanks and I look forward to your replys.







Oh the Bronco is replacing my current daily driver. I can't drive it in the snow and I want to keep the miles down as I plan on keeping the Lightning for a long time. Thanks.

That is one sweet looking Bronco. I'd be all over that if I were you. Thats a smokin price too. The only spot I can see that you might be talking about for the missing vaccum hose unless I am missing it, that is the intake for your thermactor pump, its supposed to be open. Good find!!!

Thanks. It just looks like it has a nub for a hose so I was wondering about that.

Update: He lowered the price to $2000.00

Headed out today, God willing, to pick it up. I'll post pictures when I do.

I was wondering what this was for. I noted that sometimes, but not always, it pushes air out of there. I thought that perhaps it was suppossed to go to the cat, and was disconencted.

So... what is this? And if air comes out of it, is that normal?

yo Joe, that is called the Secondary Air Silencer (Filter, or waste )

good question joe... mine is the same way.. i dunno what its for. all i know is i think it gets water in it when i go through big holes... lol i dont thin it is supposed to.. maybe i should hook up a hose and run it into the truck somewhere... lol...

Well I picked it up today. Barely drove it though as I trailered it back. The engine sounds very good and the undercarriage is dry. It sure does need lots of cleaning. BTW does anyone have a picture of how the tension rod is placed for the rear seat?

So far things that need fixing are passenger window, won't go up, and rear window. I knew this in advance though, and oh yeah the dash is not as tight as it should be. I'll post more later. For now here is a pic in my driveway.

"The Air Injection (AIR) Pump receives air from a remote silencer filter. The clean air is then delivered under pressure and is either directed to the exhaust system or diverted into the atmosphere." I would say this is where that waste air is dumped into the atmosphere. The canister on the end helps even out the noise so it doesn't go "whump" "whump" "whump" in rythmn with the pump. If you are frequently getting water in it, I would make some kind of modification so you don't have to replace a $500+ air pump. Or you could disable it like other people, but since Congress has suddenly decided Al Gore is a national hero, emissions testing will be in all 50 states pretty soon.

get some 32x11.50's and take off that chin air dam on the bottom of the bumper and go find some mud! Looks like mine when I got it. Only I paid $6500 after tax and tags /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Take a look at my truck.

Thats a nice truck you got there.

I never mentioned before, but it also came with Warn hubs installed. That was a nice little suprise, since I can only assume they were not stock?

The new capret should be here next week. Hopefully it's not too bad of an install. I'll post pics when it's done.

Nice truck, and no warn hubs were not stock.
