VOTED WWW.BRONCOII.ORG SREET RIG OF THE MONTH DEC/05
VOTED WWW.BroncoII-Ranger.com TRUCK OF THE MONTH SEPT/06
I have an 87 BroncoII that's red inside and out. It was originally purchased by my parents back in 87 sometime. My mom parked it in 95 and it sat in the back yard for 4 years until I decided to start going to University. I officially took possession in January 1999. Here's what I started with.
The old 2.9L was dead and only running on 4 cylinders when I started driving it. My grandfather and I rebuilt it and it ran pretty good for many years. I had a lot of little things to fix at first like the heater motor, window washer motor, wipers, glass, and the stereo. I managed to blow up the tranny pretty good and that was also rebuilt.
I drove it pretty much the way it looked in the pics above for a few years. Since it was running good I figured it should look good as well. So my grandfather and myself did all the body work (didn't do that great of a job) and had it sprayed. This is what the result was...
I bought myself a set of American racing rims and some BFG AT's to go with the new paint. Had to install a 2" body lift to clear the bigger tires. You can see them in the above pic. It was all looking pretty for a month and then I got into an accident and smashed the front up pretty good :grr: So I was back doing body work, but this time I painted it myself and was surpised at how easy and hard it was to get a good paint job. It's nothing to write home about but it's a lot better then some of the body shops out there.
I also had a stereo system...you know sub, amp, deck and all new speakers...yadda yadda
I added allteeza taillights, front clear signal lights and Eurolight H4 conversion headlights. As well as a piece of stainless steel across the back hatch to give it a little more strength.
I installed a compustar carstarter/alarm combo. Added power doorlocks and removed the door lock pins. They where replaced with these red LED lights that flash when the alarm is set.
My BII never had a rear cargo light so I installed one that came out of a 15 passenger chevy van.
D35 swap with warn manual hubs
Explorer front seat swap, new steering wheel and a T-handle on the shifter
Explorer sunvisors
Sunroof and roof rack
Tinted the windows and added BII.ORG stickers
I've also swapped rear axles to upgrade to 3.73 LS gears to match the front D35. Put in an add-a-leaf and a 1" lift blox. Explorer front coil springs.
Here's the remaining list of things I've done to it that fit somewhere in the above timeline.
-chrome window trim
-chrome door handles
-chrome BII horse badges
-chrome tow hooks
-new chrome grill
-new chrome bumper...bent it now I'm going to build a custom one.
-ractive cold air
-dynamax exhaust with a stainless steel tip
-Stainless steel fender flares
-new spare tire cover
-maintenance stuff
-James Duff extended radius arms
-James Duff shocks
-Winch
-Front and rear receivers
-Install my new James Duff body bushings
-James Duff sway bar bushings and axle pilot bushings
-Sway bar quick connects
-Rear coil over shocks
-31" BFG mud terrians
-coil spacers
My future mods and upgrades for my BII
-selectable front or rear locker
-Re-gear to 4.56
-Explorer sport rear seats
-heated seat pads
-power seats
-Stainless steel rocker trim
