- 1989 Ford Bronco II
Hello,
I am a new member who is currently in the process of turning my Bronco II into an Explorer.
The project started as a bone stock 1989 Ford Bronco II xl. Now it's a little less stock.
Body & Frame are still 1989 Bronco II
Interior has been swapped to 1990 Bronco II Eddie Bauer w/ heated seat addition.
I also added a sunroof from a 1993 Explorer.
Axles are 1998 Explorer 8.8 31 spline disk in the rear & 1994 Ford Explorer D35 up front.
- Both are geared at 4.56 & locked
Running explorer rear leaf springs, extended shackles, and 3" lift blocks in the rear * 6" skyjacker brackets w/extended radius arms and 5.5" RE Jeep Cherokee coils in the front.
I also have a 1.200" body lift just for convenience.
Tires are 35x12.50 KM2s on 0.00 backspacing AEA wheels.
The drivetrain came out of a 1993 Ford Explorer.
- OHV 4.0
- M5OD Manual
- 1354 Manual Tcase
As she sits right now, there is a 14.5" difference in measurement between the rain gutters on the Bronco II and a stock 4x4 Ranger (1992).
I currently have the beast running and driving but my wiring is a total nightmare (will post link once the other thread is up)
I'm looking forward to gaining knowledge about the Explorer portion of my truck on this forum.
