Hello all. my name is Gary.
Picked up a 2013 screw last July. Always wanted one since I saw the first one at Sema 2008 ( I think)
Couldn't afford one outright way back then and I didn't want to get rid of my 1971 Bronco to do it. Besides my kids loved wheelin in the Bronco and would have disowned me if I sold it. I still have the Bronco and will probably be buried in it.
I had planned on buying the new Bronco when it came out but when I saw it in July and checked out its specs I was very disappointed. I'm sure they will sell a bunch of them but in my mind its just not a Bronco.
So I decided to get that Raptor I always wanted and so far absolutely love it. Even my wife wanted it since it can pull a trailer and blast around on the dunes at the Oregon coast. Its a bone stock, one owner, meticulously loved , Oxford White and fully loaded . It has 167000 KM on it.
I'm going to keep it near stock since my Bronco is my main street and offroad toy. I had to replace some of the LED marker lights and need to order a new taillight since it gets water in it. Put some new pullies and belt on the engine and will need to look at a PS system upgrade. It does need the shocks redone which I may do myself.
