 Introduction, just moved to Denver!Good morning fellow Bronco owners!
Thought I would take a minute to do an intro. My name is Duane. My wife (Jessie) and I just moved to Denver 4 weeks ago from Chicago. (Don't blame me for this snow...) I work from home, for a fleet management company. Jess was originally offered a job out here in Sept with her company. We have visited out here and loved it so we said yes. 3 months later, after we had our house arranged to be rented and signed a lease with an apt out here her company pulled the plug. So she quit and we moved anyways! We love the outdoors and look forward to camping/kayaking and off-roading! We own a 1968 Bronco, 289 V8, 3spd column in her original Peacock Blue. Found her on Classic Broncos in AZ 2 years ago. All original, no rust/accident repairs. Safari roof rack, ranch hand spare and dealer installed 3rd aux tank. We had her shipped to Chicago. Since acquiring her I have replaced the seat upholstery, door panels. Installed a Centech harness and installed OE style Super Traction bias ply tires. Love the original looks. We also own a Subaru (surprisingly capable off-road!) and 2 Duacati Monsters. The wifiey rides a 2004 Monster 620 ie and I thrash a 2007 Monster S4RS. Looking forward to meeting some fellow enthusiasts out here!

Re: Introduction, just moved to Denver! Awesome !
I followed your thread in CB as well. Was wanting to see the outcome of the Chicago winter DD challenge everyone was giving you. Can't wait to see it in person. _________________ 1977 Sport, 351w OBDII EFI motor, 4R70W auto, 4:88 gears, ARB lockers, 3.5" suspension, 33" tires. |

Re: Introduction, just moved to Denver! Thanks again all!
Just got back from a week in Cerritos, Baja California Sur, Mexico! Man its beautiful down there. Nothing like the rest of Mexico. And as a gear-head I saw a ton of influence in the trucks down there from the Baja 1000!
