I am looking for a 1971 or 72 Bronco for the off-road purpose, but decent ones are hard to find. I also want no electronics in it at all so that I can get around after an EMP event.

You know...You and I think a lot alike

I consider myself a survivalist, most people I tell that think I'm being ridiculous lol

I'm jealous.

I was all set to pick up my new RE11's when I realized that my girl's tires were in bad shape. I couldn't let her drive it like that and she didn't have the $500 to put tires on. So mine have to wait another month.

That is what mine looked like at 15k. Drive harder.

Those RE11s look great.

Did you order your camber kit or are you going to wait to see where she sits?

2002 BMW x5 3.0 with 90k miles...Going in tomorrow for new breaks, this thing is a money pit...

Looking forward to replacing her when the time is right. Thinking of an Xterra.
Nick, we love our Xterra. I can't say it enough. It is our mule and this really says it all...

I am extremely geared towards outdoor activity(when I'm not driving my Z ) I just hope they don't get rid of the Xterra line before I buy a new car!

Nick from THmotorsport replied to me once, had to PM him twice. Asked him about the price w/shipping and haven't heard from him.

The Hurricane and waiting on his PM has delayed my search abilities, but I will get a Camber Kit just to be save.

Do you have any other Shops that I can search for the Eibachs?

Yeah, me too... a little. Can you tell?



I wouldn't hesitate to find a well maintained use X for a DD. Our is a 2007, purchased new with almost 100k on it and it feels just like it did the day we bought it.

Hmmm, he was great communicating with me. Maybe he is tied up. I think both Z1 and Concept Z Performane have them. I think KamiSpeed carries them too.

I am pretty sure that you can get a manual, if I recall correctly, but I wanted the Off Road edition for the electronic limited slip diff. I don't think you could get that in a 5 spd at the time.
