Hello

My name is Allen.  I currently live in Western Washington (near Olympia).  I stumbled upon this forum looking for help with an electrical issue.  I'm working on an 83 Bronco that I bought last year.  It was the typical "only needs a head gasket."  $1800 and counting in machine work and parts later, the Bronco runs great.  Luckily, I was able to figure out the electrical gremlins this afternoon.  However, it will be a drivable project for a while.

Welcome Allen!  

Glad you've exorcized your electrical demons.
Now that your Bronco is running do you have a plan for it?

Short term is to make it a reliable.  We are planning to move to the East coast just before Christmas.  Long term, I'm not sure yet. I want to make it nice and capable. Rust repair and paint.  Maybe a lift and selectable rear locker.  As with anything, it would be easy for this to get out of hand.

Welcome!  Glad you joined.  

And, I'm glad you got it running and have sorted the electrical gremlins.  As for reliability, in my experience that takes frequent driving which will bring the problems to the surface.  Unfortunately with the price of gas that can be expensive, but I don't know how else to made the problems appear.

Do you plan to drive it to the East Coast?  Or have it shipped?

As for the move, that will be a major one.  Is it job related?

Last, we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and can put you on there now and move you when the time comes if you'd like.
