Glad to be a part of the community. My name is James, and I drive a 96 Ford Bronco. Its my one and only vehicle. I DD it 70 miles a day, 5 days a week to my job as a correctional officer in a community corrections house, and on the weekends I use it to wheel. My dad bought the truck brand new about 14 years ago, and I bought if off of him on my first day of college, back in 2004. Since then i've put 60k miles on it (out of the 135k total miles), and i've loved every minute. I've done some modifications, when money allowed me too. Nothing too major, just some subtle things to make it stand out a bit. Modifications include:

A 2.5 Skyjacker lift with aal's
33x12.50x15 BFG AT's on stock 15x7.5 wheels
2 12 inch Rockford Fosgate P1's with a Rockford Fosgate 800 Watt Amp (Second system...first was stolen when I lived in Greeley)
Panasonic Deck/Pioneer 4 way speakers
Warn Manual Locking hubs
Uniden CB Radio with firestick
5% tint
Flowmaster high flow cat
Single in dual out Original flowmaster 40 muffler
And some other little touches to make it stand out

Its overall still in pretty good shape. I like to keep it clean, but I still wheel it when I get the chance. I look forward to wheeling with you all. I leave you with a few photos

Here it is a few days after I bought it.

Just reading this thread - welcome James. We'll have to find some time to get out with the Broncos. This group is pretty active and seem to have something going on every weekend.

Haha. Well, I did end up cracking both of them on some rocks and scraping one up pretty good. After I put the 33's on, I took the side steps off and they sat in my garage for a year. Then a few weeks ago I found an add on craigslist for steps like mine. I sold them for 100 bucks. People are mostly interested in the brackets and hardware, because most of them you find are bent/rusted. Mine were luckily still in good shape.
