Thanks I like the color to, initially took home a black one for the 24hr test drive, thought it would look cooler, but after driving it one night every time I got out of the vehicle and closed the door my wife and I both had fingerprints all over the door. We also have a house in the mountains and I use dirt roads to get to our house, so figured Boulder Gray would present better after the dirt roads. I had a black Bronco once and it was a pain in the A## keeping clean. Heres photos if you all care, http://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gall...?&albumid=4863 but it was a nice truck, sometimes really hate myself for getting rid of it, but it was a hog on gas with the 351 motor. Got good money for it when I sold it, so it worked out.

Phoenix, Arizona
1995 Ford Bronco XLT
351 Windsor or 5.8 Liter automatic 4x4
Interior: Grey Leather
Exterior: Black
Mileage: 132k
Modifications
6 Inch Superlift, Prerunner Steering kit, 35 Inch Dunlop RV Rovers - Rims Not sure of the make but they are nice. All Alpine Stereo 600 Watts, 12disc Cd Changer, XM Satellite Radio, to much to list actually.


Also note that the Battery box cover will have to be cut significantly to fit again, it seems the top posts are shorter width wise across the top to fit compared to the AC Delco anyone with experience here Id like to learn! Frankly I really believe changing to the Optima Red Top was the right idea, I definitely feel more power, its also like the tranny shifts smoother now. Batteries didnt use to be a big deal for classic muscle cars now everythings electronic so it just makes sense it would drain the battery even slightly thats why they make h/o alternators now. I have amost a fully restored, minus interior 80 Trans Am 400ci and 400 turbo tranny, everything mechanical has been replaced in the last 2 years and runs like a raped ape, has the 6x heads for car nuts, so it gets it. We pulled the crappy 301 out, thats what came in the 80 TA's because gas and emissions changed this particular year. Just got it painted and it looks great, adding the decals later minus the hood bird, it will look better longer without it and I wont have a hassle when its time to buff it, if I ever have the Need For Speed I have 2 choices. Not bragging just love my toys and Im a car freak! My wife drives a 98 750IL Bmw, its pretty sweet and has a V12.

Trans Am & Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500 very fast bike.
