- 1988 ford bronco II
so i bought this bronco 2 for $250, from a my dads cousin. the truck was bone stock. body wise was in good shape, all it needed was a good cleaning. the motor isnt running that well. it had a tune up before i picked it up, but its still running that way. heres a picture of when i got it.
i got some 33in bfgoodrich all terrains from a friend. and i had 3 summit racing 84 wheels that were the right bolt pattern. had to order one more from summit but that all saved me a good chunk of change. tore off all the mud flaps and the running boards. and started on my 2in. body lift
it still wasnt high enough for the 33's. i knew that was going to be the case so i ordered a 4in. suspenison lift from rough country.
started putting that on. took the longest time doing the front suspension lift because of fords solid rivits. especially being in the awkwardest spots. but finally got it all hooked. did an alignment took it out. did well in the mud but the motor is too weak!!
bought a 9000lb winch for it. building the winch plate and my custom front bumper. i know the winch is a lil over kill but couldnt go wrong with the price.
plans are a 4 link front and rear and make the wheel base a good bit longer, not sure on what i want for the length. doing full width dana 44 and dana 60 or 9in. rear. snorkel. jus going to rebuild the 2.9 and put 4.10s or 4.56s in the rears and at most put it on 38's.
