1987 Ford Bronco II XLT 2.9 from North America
Summary:
Fun little truck to drive around in
Faults:
Ball joints needed to be replaced.
Drive shaft getting ready to go out on the truck.
Engine needs to be overhauled.
Fan clutch has cracks.
Head liner is falling down.
The radio works when it wants to.
Passenger window motor needs to be rebuilt.
The front seats have some wear and tear on them, but the back seats don't look like they were ever used.
Rusted fenders and doors.
Rear end sag from worn out leaf springs.
General Comments:
This is the second one that I have owned. Has lots of room for such a small truck.
Have not had any problems with getting it through the snow or mud. Have not gotten stuck yet.
Poor gas mileage for a sport utility vehicle. But for a being over 20 years old, you've got to expect something to not be what you want in a truck.
Needs a little reconditioning.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Well, what a charming little story. I always thought Bronco II's were just slow, cramped, rough-riding and noisy suv's with an outdated design whose only redeeming quality was that they could be purchased dirt cheap.
Now I want to run out and buy that one I have seen with the for sale sign for the last two months every day. They are asking $500 but I bet I can get it for $400.
I shall name it: sCrappy Doo Too.
