About the 1992–1996 Ford Bronco
The fifth-generation Ford Bronco ran from 1992 through 1996 and was the last full-size Bronco before the nameplate went dormant until 2021. For 1992 Ford restyled the truck with the rounded sheet metal it shared with the redesigned 1992-1996 F-series, the body enthusiasts later nicknamed OBS for Old Body Style after the 1997 trucks arrived. It kept the removable fiberglass rear roof, a single rear liftgate with roll-down glass, and a 104.7-inch wheelbase carried over from the prior generation. Power came from Ford small-block V8s, the 5.0L (302) and the 5.8L (351 Windsor), both fuel injected; the 4.9L inline-six that earlier full-size Broncos offered was not part of this run. Trim levels were XL, XLT, and the top Eddie Bauer. A standard center high-mounted stop lamp arrived with the 1992 redesign, rear-wheel anti-lock brakes carried over from the previous generation and were standard throughout, and a driver-side airbag was added for 1994. Ford ended the Bronco after 1996 and replaced it with the four-door Expedition for 1997.
The story
I bought my Bronco used in '96 from a Norweigen man living in Paso Robles, Ca with 45,000 on the ticker. My wife used it a daily driver until we moved to Sweden in Aug.'99 when we both started commuting daily in it about 30 mi a day. Winter driveing in southern Sweden sucks because they salt the roads and it didn't take long until a saw surface rust starting on the frame, suspension components and body mout areas. In Dec. '02 we bought a Volvo V70 for daily driving and the Bronco is currently spending most of it's weekdays in the garage and weekends in the forest for time with the wife, dogs and fishing. I'm planning to begin with some light mods this summer which include: manual hubs, mild lift to accomidate 33's, warn winch and some general maintenance. — Swebronc
