1994 Ford Bronco

I got my Bronco for my 18th birthday in 2010. I had always wanted a truck and I had been looking for one for the last year or so.

I grew up looking at pictures of my dad's 1978 F150 that had a 6" suspension lift on 35" tires, or my uncle stephan's 1980 Bronco that had a 12" suspension lift on 44" tires. I even grew up around a lifted truck. My oldest brother had a 1978 Bronco, it had a 6" suspension lift and a 3" body lift on 39" tires.

My dad and his two brothers own and operate and auto body and mechanic shop, which my grandfather opened, and me and my two brothers work there to this day for my dad. I grew up around cars and always had a passion for cars and trucks.

When I got my Bronco for my birthday, I immediatly started looking for lift kits. I bought a Rough Country 6" Suspension lift and 35" BF Goodwrench All Terrain tires to go with the 15" Ultra wheels I bought for it. With my dad's help, i finished the lift kit in about three days, just in time for my graduation trip to the beach with my best friends.

Since then I have replaced the carpet, put in a new battery and a new alternator and replaced all the radiator hoses. I put in speakerbox behind the back seat with 2 12" subwoofers in it.

My future plans involve raising it up another 3" and putting 39" tires on it, just like my brother's Bronco was.

My friend Danny has a lifted Jeep Wrangler, and me and him do light offroading in the terrain we can find by our houses, which is usually a construction site or a little trail by my house after it rains.

My Bronco's nickname is "Seabreeze," which my friends came up with when I got it.
