B2 Guys Bronco Build, restore for crawling.

Not spending time posting anymore..

Well, i picked up a lightly modded 89 Bronco 2, that will be serving as my new offroader, I will have it ready for July Smorr event.

Current To do list:
Swap in Explorer 302
Explorer Auto
Arb Front locker -install
Longarm build for front
Possibly a 4 link rear?? _not till after Smorr

Cage, body trimming and cutting. not any more, bought a different body

Look out folks....another Monster is about to be born!

Glad you went with TM headers. That Ranger looks pretty clean too.

Any bets on how long it will stay that way?.....Hahaha!

So a slider, bumper build is in the foreseeable future?

Oh, Those pinstripes have gotta go.:


Might want to add this to a thread made just for this when your finished,

In the meantime, you could use it for your own reference

Thanx guys, thats the plan. Its combining a little of all the vehicles I love, bronco 2, explorer, ranger, so hopefully this will be it and keep me satisfied for a while.

A few trees will take care of those. Is this gonna be a new model? Maybe the Bronc2ExRanger?
Seriously, can't wait to see progress, Brad. This is gonna be one hell of a rig.

Todays progress, but all this work has made me want to go offroading, so me and a buddy are heading out here in a bit to Flatnastys offroad park, with the RZR

Also this 2.9 and 5spd are fine just needs new flywheel, I have plans for them eventually in beater B2 or ranger short bed, the 2.9 has the best world product heads u can buy, bored .30 over, some other stuff, centerforce clutch, rebuilt tranny

Here is a few when my brother had it in action and one I took before body started getting beat.

How the heck did you manage to do all that since yesterday?

I did some last night and I started this morning around 7 and finished dropping tractor back at farm and home by 12:30. Easy stuff when u dont care about the old body, i also removed clutch pedals, steering column, 2.9 ecm, other misc pieces.

Easy stuff when u dont care about the old body

Yep, there is a completely different tool set that comes out for that

Brad,
Give me a call, I would enjoy to come out for a weekend and help work on this with you. Maybe you could help me fix my tranny leak. I have a leak somewhere, that has gotten real bad. And shops around here want a fortune to fix it. Plus I am off work until June 1. And it is not looking good for me to make it Moab again this year.:thumbdwn:

Chad,
How you healing up from the surgery?

 

[rookieshooter]

Love those pics. I had to look twice at the dates myself.
Talk about stuffing that rear tire. Some trim might be in order?

 

[chad551]

Chad,
How you healing up from the surgery?

Healing up pretty good. It turned out to be alot more intense that expected..

 

[crazyflights]

Sounds great chad, I can definatley try to help you with leak. If you dont make Moab, you are welcome to come out next friday/saturday, thats when we will be working on gregs explorer, prolly wont have time to do yours that weekend, but sometime soon, Ive made alot of progress, the biggest thing that will hold me back is 3-4 weeks on headers, im not putting cab on chassis til there on cause i can go ahead and easily finish all of my exhaust. I do have some ideas for rear, like strecthing it a little and doing 4link, moving tank into bed, and taking the ranger bed and custom cutting it down to length to fit what ever i do

 

[gmanpaint]

I dub thee...............FRANKENFORD!!

 

[crazyflights]

I was thinking the Banger LOL

 

[gmanpaint]

Banger?

Okay then, here is your theme song :

 

[chad551]

what are you guys doing to greggs rig? Coilovers? I am going to take my truck to the shop that did my t-case work and see if they can find the leak and tell me where it is, so I can get the seals.
