NO it does not mean that at all! 80% of the above problems could have solved with sage advice common sense and a good swift kick in the arse. You sir are an expert at the first 2!
Heat wave moving through starting this weekend. Mid to upper 90's until at least next weekend. Time to hunker down in the AC I guess. Too bad I don't have many indoor projects right now.
Feeling your pain. It’s just that I cannot get motivated for the things I need to accomplish indoors, just too boring
We had 3 broncoII's and a ranger over the years. An 84, two 86's and the ranger was an 88. Then my ex fiancee had a 90 broncoII. All had the 2.9 Cologne V6, except the 84 which was a carbed 2.8 Cologne V6 before they upgraded to 2.9 and multiport EFI. Our ranger and the ex's b2 were 5spd manuals. The least amount of miles any of these rigs had was 185k when we got rid of them, and that was the 84 because it wasn't as much fun to drive as the newer 86. My 86 Eddie Bauer I had 420k on it when a drunk driver ran his red light and hit me, t to totalling it. Replaced it with the 86 XLT. They were great reliable machines that could go pretty much anywhere.
I do like the older ones. I don't mind the 06-11 if they don't have the big screw on fender flares, but it seems like most of them do.
I prefer the square look of the first gen and the updated first gen. Or maybe they called it the second gen once it got the face-lift. It looks like the one in the picture. Id like a diesel version.
