| Notes: |
Although a barebones XL model, this is a beautiful truck. It had no options originally, and is in the process of being upgraded. I have added the little things, like power locks, keyless entry, and cruise control. Now on to the expensive stuff.
1) Car-PC : use a mini-itx board to run an in car computer for GPS navigation and MP3 audio. Use a 8" touch screen LCD for control. Look into other functions for this computer later.
-This system is built. I have the touchscreen. It works great. I am now working on some custom fiberglass to make it look pretty ;-)
2) Overhead Console : I saw a mod where someone installed the overhead console from a 99 explorer into their bronco. This added storage, a compass, and external temperature. I may choose not to do this, using the in car computer for these functions instead.
3) Audio upgrade. The OEM audio is pretty bad. I listen to blues, jazz, classical, and trance - so clarity is far more important that shaking the car behind me's mirrors.

Maintenance & Modification Logs
| Date | Type | Mileage | Title / Description | $ Amount | | 09/18/05 | Maintenance | 108000 | Differential leak and routine maintenance.
Since I just purchased the vehicle, I had a full mechanical inspection performed. The inspection turned up two problems, the front wheel bearings needed to be repacked, and the front differential had a leak.
| 700.00 | | 10/22/04 | Maintenance | 109100 | Check Engine Light came on
I went to leave my gym's parking garage, and the Check Engine light came on. The engine is running fine, and the whole powertrain was checked out just a few weeks ago. Will need an ODB-II scanning tool to figure this out. | 0.00 | | Total | 700.00 |
