After I bought the car, I started fixing everything that was neglected on this cheapy 27 year old car. Pulled the heads to replace the lifters that were noisy, did all the tune stuff, converted the a/c to r134a, replaced the fuel pump cause the sending unit wasn't working, installed a tranny...

I started building my second RBV, a Bronco ii. This thread is to post about and document the work done to the car, so it can help others that are building a b2 or ranger based vehicle. This is actually my second build thread about this rig, the first one was accidentally deleted. I picked up...

changed the shocks in the rear. Noticeably better. They're a little short for my setup, but work good. So I'll have to change the mounts to suit the length better.

Love the long travel ttb. But not happy with the rig. What to do with this thing.

Oh man you have a real off road rig now. With all the annoyances that come after a such a huge job. I hate those little things. I've been good. Keeping my head up. Doing chemo therapy. And that's basically what I'll be doing got the next few months until i have surgery. But i took the Navajo...

Anything new on the Mounty? Need some inspiration?

I'm a maybe. All depends how i feel and how close it is to any of my treatments or procedures.

Lookin real good

Yes. We don't want a memorial for Rick's eyes! Take it easy Rick and recover :dpchug:

I work at Service Auto Care. It's at the other end of the building.

spotted your rig a few doors down from my shop.

I know there is some talk about a ring the memorial run to thanksgiving weekend, but i have the weekend off. So I'm in on whatever trip happens that weekend.

Thanksgiving works for me.

Anyone going to the off road expo this weekend? I think I'll go Sunday afternoon. Kinda busy the rest of the weekend.

Glad you all made it through. I know you'll be beach to do it again one day, cause I'll be on that trip too! Always like seeing a modded courier

oh wow. Sorry to see that happen to such a great explorer. Glad your fixing it

Where's the return report and pics?

You'll never get rid of ALL the play. The Navajo drives bad too, but with inverted y steering.

I'm a maybe for that one

it's ready enough as it is. Are you gonna be ready? I still have to check with work if i can get the weekend off.

I might possibly come Saturday. And leave early the same day.

Yes can we?

And as far as selling it.... I still want to. But I've looked at getting a tow vehicle, but anything that could tow it would be a very impractical car for anything other than towing. Especially on my budget (not much) If I could afford to get an ecoboost F150, I would keep the Navajo and sell...

Since photobucket decided it wants to be the worst photo hosting site possible, I'll upload some pictures from today. Yet another impromptu run through cleghorn. Gonna try to go to the Rubicon trail with this next month. Thinking about it is what inspired me to take out this...

No he doesn't. I don't know if I would make it through the Rubicon, and I don't know if my car would make it to the Rubicon. I'll have to see if i can find a tow vehicle and bring the Navajo

Rubicon in a month and a half?

What what what! Ted passed? wow. I didn't know. Really glad I was able to meet up with him in February. Really wish i could go. Maybe i can come by for a day.

I can't the weekend of the 22nd

I have to check, but I think I have something planned that weekend.

It's too soon for me. My car is ready for light wheeling, but not high speed. And I prolly can't get the days off.

That's pretty soon. Are you gonna be ready by then?

When we both finish our trucks, we need to recreate this

I want to go too :bounce:

Glad it worked. I wish I had better pictures in that thread with the tape measurer, but my camera wouldn't focus up close :/ And if your extended beams are long enough then you don't have to cut the end shorter. I had to cause my extended beams turned out a little shorter than they needed to be.

Also, If I would have extended the beams a half inch more, or so, I wouldn't have had to trim my center shaft down. I didn't factor in how much the axle beams move towards each other with that much travel.

Oh man I never saw this. So did you get all your questions answered? Obviously the front axle is on your car now.

my rig is too small. Plus I probably won't have a winch or front locker by then.

welcome. And we can never have too many pictures of explorers around here
