Technically, this isn't a Ranger topic, it is a Ford topic, LOL!

So, a few weeks ago, I said screw it and started un-modding my Wrangler, so I could trade it in on a 2 door 6g Bronco! Got most of the stuff I put on the Wrangler removed/sold within a week and lost a bunch of money trading it in for the Bronco, which was expected... I just got tired a constantly shifting gears on my daily driver...

This is what we picked up though and I love it! A 2023 Badlands Sasquatch LUX 2 Door "Big" Bronco in Eruption Green!

I've started an intro/build thread in the Bronco 6g forum already!

My wife's Yellowstone Heritage Edition Limited 2 door will be here in the next couple of months!

Great looking Bronco and color. Much nicer than the Jeep!

And can’t believe you spray painted right on your driveway.:shock: :facepalm: :giggle:

I did that months ago, when I sprayed the roll bar for my Mustang. It's the back driveway, not like anyone can see it or that I care if they did, LOL! It'll come off once I get around to pressure washing it.

I gotta ask, what are the little grabhandle things on the hood for?? That's the one thing that erks me about the Bronco.
From my understanding they are an anchor point for tying something down, like a kayak or something on the roof? Fishing poles etc. Similar to this

They're called Trail Sites. And yes, you can tie a line to them, to keep limbs from hitting the windshield... I removed mine...

I see, it could be useful but if it were me I'd be looking to replace them with something lower profile, or get them painted to match the hood/fenders.

When I picked up my 24 Ranger, I saw a Bronco Raptor at Langdale Ford in Valdosta Ga, Sticker Price $95,000.
They had a Bronco Raptor in the local Ford showroom when I bought my Badlands. MSRP was $119k...

The Bronco Raptors I have seen at the dealership have all been at least $95,000 to $115,000. Lots of money for sure.

We missed not having the Ranger anymore, so in December, I found something else to add to our fleet! Something I've been looking for, for about 15 years!

It didn't look like this when I got it though. I've been slowly restoring it/upgrading it!

1995 F-150 XLT, 5.0, auto, loaded, SWB, 4x4 shift in floor, and the color I wanted!
