What's your funniest/scariest Bronco moments?
#8
Man, where do I start,
While showing off my truck for famly started it up (covered in plastic for paint) and found out it was in reverse as it backed into the garage door pushing it back 6".

After pulling the truck back into the shop noticed a candle size fire under it, the consol was out for repairs and a power wire from the radio shorted to the body and cought the whole console wiring on fire. Me in a hurry didnt bother grabing a fire extinguisher but a rag on the seat and got some minor burns on my fingers.

After blowing the rear gear and then blowing up a right Ujoint which poped the knuckle off the axle housing I drove it with a chain holding up the knuckle 5 miles too a store (driving on the left front axle only) and decided I should call a wrecker and not drive home on the highway.

Playing in a sand pit near my wifes parents I jumped the truck into a berm, jamed the throttle lincage wide open, broke the windshield brace off and bend much of the pedal sembly. In the same pit I hit a pole burried 2 feet deep in concret and didnt stop, bent the steering lincage and had to use the winch and highlift to fix it.

Got stuck next too my own driveway (and infront of my garage) in a snow bank trying too show off, blew the lock right and one hub.

Had a relay short out (smoke from under the hood) for the cooling fans while driving on the highway and pulled over too a rest area, threw the median to get there (at 65).

How about ironic, broke down prerunning in baja at a bend on a large hill on the race course, then broke down during the race at the same exact same spot!

Im sure there's more Liz can think of but thats the highlights.
