Early ford bronco?
#1
I'm thinking on moving to England (oxford to be exact) from Arizona and I want to ship my 1969 ford bronco. It's in tip top shape, but I worried that the lift/tires (oopps, I mean tyres LOL) will not meet government guidlines. It's got a 4" lift with 33" Nitto Mud Grappleres that stick out just a tad from the fenders. what type of mods will I have to do to make it street legal

No idea. Your best bet would be to find a UK forum for off road style vehicles and ask them. Sounds like a big move. Hope it all goes well.

Ditto what Charles said.

Check out http://www.import-car.info/modifications.shtml

Specifucally some items of concern may be

* Rear indicators are separate to the brake lights and the right colour (this is different to US cars)
* Front indicators are the right colour and have repeaters on the side of the vehicle. This may require small indicators added to the side of the car and holes drilled in the wing as appropriate to accommodate them.
* A red rear fog light is fitted - US cars often don't have these.
* The correct white parking lights are present.
* Headlights are pointing the right way - check before you bring the car in that this does not mean a costly set of new headlights!
* Tyres match the advertised top speed of the vehicle. Tyres have a code (R, S or T rating) on them which matches a theoretical top speed. If the rating is lower than the manufactirers advertised top speed - you'll need new tyres (for the SVA anyway!)
* The speedometer has Kilometer as well as Mile readings.
* The right brake fluid level indicator is present on the dashboard or else the reservoir is clear.
* The number plate meets UK standards (correct size, shape, lettering)
* Protrusion standards are met (ie removing long exhaust pipes, bull bars, mascots etc)

You really need to find out it they apply to your year or if you are excluded. The site has some contact information as well. Good luck
