Ok, just for you bii people
i just want to let you know that i think bronco two's are bad ass! i've always kinda liked em, but now i think they're awesome.
me and some friends wen to azusa canyon today to play in the mud. one fullsize 92 bronco on 35's and one little baby bronco 2. the bii was COMPLETLY stock as far as suspension and drive train go. but the little mods it had was 31" cooper stt tires, a shaky front bumper, some lights on the roof that weren't hooked up, and the back half was cut off like taking the top off a fullsize. and the body flexed like mad man. sitting in the back seat, you put your hand on the body anywhere and you could feel it flex all over the place, and his front windshield kept cracking more and more cause of it. but it was an awesome wheeler! we never get stuck the whole day, and we even tried to get stuck just for the fun of it haha. we went through the depest mud we could find. stuff that the monster blazers were having trouble with.. and we would just drive through it with our stock size bii, with the mud coming through the doors cause it was so deep. people were almost laughing that we could make it through. we tried to get it stuck a couple of times, but it just kept driving and moving forward it was pretty fun to watch the blazers adn fullsize trucks on 37-40's and all the yotas going through and us following them with our 31's

That's what I'm finding out about mine. The little mud that I've been in so far feels like I'm just floating over it. Shedding 1000 lbs might had something to do with it. Glad you had fun.
When the glass man installed the new windshield in my B2 Thunderbolt (name of this truck) he said that he has seen windshields crack just like you said when the top is chopped. But since my body is incorporated into the full cage I should not have that problem he said. But it is insured for one year and he said he'll give up to two windshields if it does crack. Can't beat that. The only regret I have is that I did not build this years ago. I have almost given up driving the X. Just last week before I went to Church I put back on my removable doors, flipped up my hinged rear bulkhead and installed Lexan rear window and drove it to church. You should have seen all the children checking it out. They immediately fall in love with it. We have a special needs section for kids. One of them loves playing with his remote control 4x4 toys. This young man/kid I promised him over a year ago that he would ride in my truck. Well, last week was that day. The timing could not have been better. There are large hills of dirt and rock on the property since we are building some more buildings there. He can not walk by himself, so we lifted him up into the passenger seat. This young man weighs over 200#. So after locking hubs and shifting to low 4x4 up we went. Then we went out in some muddy area and let this 5.0 do it's thing . This ride took place after the evening service so it was dark. So on comes the overhead driving lights including the rear overhead worklights. The smile on his face was priceless. Just yesterday his mom said that he has not stopped talking about that ride. Over two years of building this rig with all the difficulties and money spent was well worth it.
