G'day... I just picked up my 3rd project and it's the 1st Bronco I've owned. So I'm sure I'll be asking a lot of questions. 1996 XLT in fairly decent condition. With 177k for mileage, it still runs strong and no exhaust smoke. Majority of work will be replacing front fenders, a couple of lower quarter panels, rubber seals and door hinges. Be seeing you...

Welcome!

Those were great motors. Should last a long time yet. Rust seems to **** these trucks more than anything else.

Yo ryeder,
Welcome and congrats on acquiring the very best year Big Bronco known to men, women, children and canines!

ASAP, find out if speed control recall work, if equipped was completed. If you still have concerns about Recalls, please contact the Ford Customer Relationship Center:
US: 800-392-3673 | CA: 800-565-3673
Note: 3673 spells "FORD" on phone keys
For the hearing- or speech-impaired: Please contact the Telecommunication Relay Service by dialing 71
... have VIN ready.
"Summary: ON CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS, PASSENGER VEHICLES, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND MOTOR HOMES CHASSIS, THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH MAY, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, LEAK INTERNALLY AND THEN OVERHEAT, SMOKE, OR BURN. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE."
To confirm current status, use this guide by jowens1126 @ 93 & 94-96 Cruise Control Recalls Repair
Note that the 93 recall is different than the 94-96 recall.

This beast runs pretty good, the frame and most of the under body is well preserved, but like you stated, rust is a b****. Replaced both front fenders and lower quarters but was surprised the rockers are solid. One less chore to deal with.
