Only three things have gone wrong:
1: The starter went ($70 for rebuild)
2: CV drive shaft ($150)
3: Shock absorber mount broke (unknown still broken)
This SUV has gotten me where I wanted to go VERY cheap. I bought the thing for 500 and put not even 250 into it; it runs strong and is very cheap to fix if anything does go wrong with it.
I'm not a mechanic myself. and even I could change the starter and drive shaft with my VERY BASIC tool set.
It's a great truck to own and I swear by it!!! Very large inside, plenty of room and very versatile. It does things even my Mom's newer SUV can't. The engine is actually pretty good on gas (overdrive does help though).
The Bronco II is a great truck.
I totally agree with this owner, my 89 Bronco 2 is the best little SUV a person could ask for. I tow it behind my motor home, and when I get to where I go, it's a wonderful vehicle. Around town or in the woods, it is all the truck a person could ask for. Thank you Ford, you need to go back to the basics and build us a new version with the original concepts.
