Yup, I'm new here, even though I've had my Bronco for about 2 years now. I grew up around Broncos...several members of my family had them when I was growing up, so needless to say, I grew fond of them early on. I terminated a 3 year lease on a loaded 2001 Exploder after only 14 months when I finally decided it was time to get the truck I had always wanted. My Bronco may not be as new or have all the fancy features as the Exploder, but it is a far better, more capable vehicle. So I was patient and looked on the Internet for a few months before I found a keeper...a one owner '95 Eddie Bauer with only 62,000 miles. Sweet!
Well, here is my situation...I am currently stationed in Camp Arifjan, Kuwait as part of OIF 2...doing my part to ensure cheap gasoline for everyone. Anyway, I am part of the Army Reserve component that was called out for up to 18 months...wtf!?! Anyway, I just wanted to tell you guys hi and ask you to do a little 4-wheelin' for me this year. I totally miss the feeling of taking my Bronco out and hitting the back woods after work with a few beers and some good tunes...just doin' a little wheelin', having some fun. My wife pokes fun at me saying I miss my truck more than I miss her...
The only mods to my truck so far are a K&N filter and 31x10.5 BFG All-Terrain T/As. When I get home I plan on upgrading the exhaust and adding one of the Airaid throttle-body spacers. I would also like to add a modest lift eventually, probably only 4 in. or so. Aside from that, the Bronco is a rightous rig pretty much outta the box. My 7 year old daughter loves the truck and always asks me to take her for a ride in it.
Anyway, ya'll take it easy...I'll post more, probably in the form of questions, shortly.
Peace, out...

yes welcome and from the bottom of my heart thank you for relieveing me out there. i only spent 9 months out there and that was horrible and to have to go for 18 is unthinkable. i know most active duty and reservists dont get along. and i am one that is quick to put a weekend warrior down but when there are a few like you that go beyond the weekend warrior staus you earn my respect. and again like i said thank you welcome and be safe.

Thanks guys...
Hey Gunner, actually, I was an active duty infantryman for three years back in my younger days and earned my CIB with the 7th ID Light in '89, then became a medic once I joined the reserves and finally wound up being a computer network geek (which is what I do on the civilian side). But I know what you mean about crackin' on the reservists, I still find myself doing it even though I am one.
Well, the only wheelin' I'm gonna be doing is in a Hummer across the desert...not so interesting. On the other hand, my wife has had a ball driving my Bronco in the snow, I normally always do the foul-weather driving, but right now I don't have a choice!

Later guys...
