Hello! Here's my 1988 Ford Bronco II 2.9L 4x4 EFI Eddie Bauer edition for sale. Lots of smiles per mile with this near-stock premium-trim Bronco!
She runs and there's been a lot of good things done to her.
Serious buyers only.
Though not mint, very good condition for a 37 year old vehicle.
Lots of preventative maintenance and restoration done to this unique Ford Ranger based SUV.

I have all the manuals for her, clean title, modern CD player with bluetooth and aux. AC and heat both work. No rips or tears in seats or carpet; headliner doesn't sag. Nearly all the fluids are freshly changed. Fresh undercoat to prevent rust. There is some rust here and there but nothing threatening the life of the vehicle; the frame is solid.
Tow receiver, can tow 3000lbs reliably, 5000 on paper. Power windows, power locks, power steering. Paint is in great condition. Mirrors are in great condition. All lights work, headlights, tail lights, blinkers, high beams, and interior. A very high visibility, minimum blind spot vehicle with all the glass. Good, strong brakes

Ok, so here are all the newer parts replaced from the last year, and then I will list some things to consider:

Valve cover gaskets, Ignition coil, spark plugs (all 6 of them), spark plug wires, fuel filter, fuel regulator, rear trunk lock cylinder locked in place (was loose), distributor cap and rotor replaced, tail light sockets replaced, license plate lights replaced, 3 V belts replaced, coolant temp sensor replaced.
Water pump, TFI ignition module, inertia switch, "crank sensor"?(hard to read handwriting on invoice)
Liftgate struts replaced and liftgate door strikers replaced
Upgraded & replaced radiator, radiator hoses (top and bottom), fan clutch, radiator cap, new coolant, oil drain screw and gasket, rear and front windshield wipers, new ECU, recent oil change
Power Steering Fluid change (not drain)
Map sensor
Coolant Temperature sensor
EEC relay (was corroded)
Distributor replaced
Coil
Starter replaced
Fuel filter replaced
Spark plug #5 wire replaced.
All spark plugs replaced
Undercarriage coating to protect from rust (Fluid Film). Provides protection for up to 2 years

Ok, things to be aware of as a prospective buyer:
-The big one: probably needs new fuel injectors at some point, is what the Tillamook Ford dealership Service Department told me. When you drive, especially at a cold start, you can notice there's probably a cylinder not getting fuel as well as it should. Once things warm up, it gets better. But this is the biggest issue and why I have it priced at what I do. It's okay to drive it this way, but you'd want to get it fixed at some point.
- Seat belt retractors are a little aged. They still serve their purpose, though.
-Passenger door has to be shut a bit hard to close all the way
-4x4 sometimes works, most of the time doesn't
-Some rust spots on hood as seen in pictures
- Exhaust piping needs to be replaced probably within 2 years; like most exhaust piping, it rusts easily
- Roof mounting bars are old, but original, but can't hold as much as modern ones
- Probably needs some suspension work in the future (great time to put on that suspension lift kit - lots of great options out there)
- Couple tiny dents
- Probably will need new weather seals in a few years, depending on your preference
- Passenger floorboard gets soaked with water when you run the AC; typically I don't need to around here with the corner windows open
- You will be told by people how cool your vehicle is at every gas station (I'd say I'm joking, but I'm not)

Some more Pro's:
- Your wife will wonder why you want to go get groceries so bad for her all the time
- Turning radius is uniquely amazing and actually very practical and useful
- Great for a hunting rig, grocery-getter, or a great base for an off-road build
- Great base for a Bronco II enthusiast to do their thing (4.0 engine swap, axle swaps, suspension kits, etc)
- Thriving online community here on Facebook and forums loaded with information
- Parts are still pretty available; I have some links I can send the buyer
- Engine runs very strong apart from fuel injection issue
- I have kept an Excel Spreadsheet with everything done to it since I've owned it and also records from previous owners

I have been exhaustive in my post as to minimize surprises. If you are seriously considering purchasing, please message me.
