1984 Ford Bronco II Base review from North America
"I love the car, I wish Ford would make a modern version off of the current Ranger"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine.
U-Joint.
Clutch.
Throw-Out Bearings, and the shaft it sits on.
Paint.
Normal Maintenance.
General comments?
I live this vehicle, I'm fairly hard on cars and even with all of the crap I put it through it is still keeping up.
I put throw-out bearings because it went bad, I had it replaced, the guy didn't know that it had destroyed the shaft it sits on so I had to take it back. Then a few months later the same thing began to happen, I suspect the mechanic didn't shim it, so now its sitting in my driveway until I have the money to fix it, I won't take it to the same guy, I'm taking it to some place like Midas where I can get the work guaranteed.
Great vehicle for a stereo system, plenty of room in the back paneling for extra speakers.
