They're only as big a $$ pit as you let them be. And it helps if you can amortize the ownership/upgrade costs over a lot of years :). Since the newest example is now 34 years old, there are going to be costs associated with owning one but thankfully parts for them are, for the most part...

Here's a cross-section of Early Broncos parked outside my home in Phoenix a few months ago. The vintage race Bronco is the Bill Stroppe-built Bronco that won the 1969 Mexican 1000 overall - driven by Larry Minor and Rod Hall. It's the only 4WD vehicle in the 43 year year history of the...

Stock wheelbase is 92". Todd Z.

Welcome aboard, laker. There are a number of us early Bronco nuts here on the board. Todd Z.

Awesome!! I had the pleasure of finally meeting Chris in Loreto last May during the NORRA 1000. A fine addition to the magazine. Todd Z. P.S. I think this is the second press release I've read recently that's dated a year behind :)

I was wondering you guys were getting dumped on. It's been raining most of the day here in Phoenix. Good for you for keeping at it! Todd Z.

Wow! Glad to hear that you're OK, Mark, and that the TRE didn't let go out on 89.....that wouldn't have been good. Todd Z.

When I got my truck, it had 315s on it with ~4.5" National leafs on the front. I took those off and replaced them with a 3" Donahoe Racing (now Icon) leveling kit with stock springs and went with 285s. My mileage decreased (yes, the speedo was cal'd correctly for each tire size) when I went to...

Christophe - you've probably already had your work done but another good local source is The Machine Shop in Chino. They do good work and are usually pretty reasonably priced. Todd Z.

What a great trip! Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, great folks and a nice mix of rigs. Thank you Scott for letting me drive the JK - what a treat and a honor! Lance - I think your son is an upcoming photog with those shots of the W.A.V.E. going through the creek - his shots have great...

A friend and I are coming up from the Valley as well - definitely going up the back way - a good drive no matter where you're headed! I had a friend make it through in a 2WD Nissan in a trip I led on this route in Jan. 08. I think his truck was one with a factory rear locker (Desert Runner?)...

Disregard the non-sano Jerry-can mounting (it only fell off once!). This was a 8-9 day trip through the Panamint/Saline/Death Valleys and the Mojave Road. Two guys and all their stuff. Todd Z.

Amidst all the discussion about radios, I'll add one of my credos on vehicle building (expo or not): Unless you're building a fire engine, no diamond plate allowed. Todd Z.

I'll point out the site of the Walnut Grove Dam on this trip along with a few other items that might be of interest. I've attached a couple of photos below to whet folks' appetites - two shots of the Lapham place at Minnehaha and a photo of the Button Mine. Lance and I have been on several of...

Hope to join you on this trip, Mark. Todd Z.

If you win your class in an off road race (particularly the Baja 1000), it's traditionally been considered within bounds PR-wise to claim you "won" the Baja 1000. What isn't acceptable are statements that I've seen in recent years where teams claim they "won 2nd place" or "won 4th place"...

I received my pants over the weekend - looks like they'll be a good fit! Thanks again. Todd Z.

Got my email for the pants a few days ago. Thanks guys! Todd Z.

Re-sub'd for 3 years last night. The code took $0.01 off my order :). Hoping to see an email for the pants soon! Thanks guys. Todd Z.
