    Tires

    I run 235/75-15s on my BIIs and they do very nicely for road and trail running. Just wide enough to get traction in most types of terrain including highway, fuel mileage is good and they fill the wheelwells out nicely without killing the pocketbook. I've used and like the Firestone...

    Anyone else getting BAD milage w/ the 4.0?

    My BIIs (2.9 and 2.8) are winter drivers. I run them on 140 mile commutes each day. In the summer time I'll get 21mpg, in the winter, 14.5 - 15. That's on the highway combined in and out of 4x4 at anywhere from -25 to +20. Driving slower with shorter distances and locked in, I can see you...

    seat swap

    Yes, they will fit. When you take the seats out of the BII, take the seat off the seat frame. They just unbolt. Do the same with the Ranger seats and bolt them back on. What you'll have is the new seats bolted onto the BII seat frames and all will work well. That is.. I'm assuming that...

    4.0L V6 Used - PRICE???

    There's a lot of links in this thread. They are very good on leading you through the change out to a 4.0: http://www.broncoii4x4.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2309&hilit=perfect+project

    4.0L V6 Used - PRICE???

    I know there's a write up on that. Basically you have to pull the fuel system from the 2.9 FI engine, the drive train and electrical from the Exp and I was going to pull the dash from the BII or Exp (more likely the Exp) to go with the '84. It's a project, but I prefer the original BII body to...

    4.0L V6 Used - PRICE???

    Too bad you're in Ohio. I have a '94 Exp Sport 4.0 / 5 sp / 4x4 that ran until my daughter totalled it on an icy highway. The AC is still intact. I was going to use it and my '90 BII to build up my '84 BII that I picked up in Tenn. (rust free) I'm now using the front end out of the Exp in my...

    11 Miles per gallon out of my 2.9!!!

    Yep, you have a problem... My '84 with the C5 running down the interstate at 70 this winter in sub-zero temps was still getting 16-18 mpg.. All of mine have gotten better than 20 in the summer time.. +2 to FordMan016

    2.8 engine photo

    Hmmm.. Shoot, I thought you were talking about the tranny dipstick, so I got a great pic.... Just not what you wanted and it looks like you got it covered anyway. :icon_thumby:

    Installed a LED third brake light

    EXCELLENT.. Too bad they don't make one like this as an aftermarket piece. Nice work. Great look.

    Yep. I found one. It was in Kentucky.

    my new ride

    Because this is factory without the tire carrier on it, you are in for some major work if you plan on putting the factory one on. If that were mine, I'd get the new bumper you're talking about with the tire carrier attached to it. Or make it that way. Nice looking pony-truck btw.

    To rebuild or buy a remanufactured

    You may have found one, but who's going to stand behind it if it fails? I'd go with a rebuilt, whether you do it yourself or buy one that way. Find one with a good warranty and then do some checking up on the company. My buddy bought a rebuilt with the warranty, had it put in (he doesn't...

    90bronco II

    I did find one in my searching, like BlackBII says, the VIN has to have the X in order for it to be the factory 4.0.

    2.3 into a BII.. Am I crazy?

    Okay guys, here's what I've found. I may be partially right and mostly wrong.. kind of confusing even from Ford. There are a few folks out there that have indicated that the bellhousing is indeed different. I can't disprove it, so I'll speak to the Ford mechanics directly. The info is thus...

    light on buzzer

    Cool Earl.. I like that. Some that I have gotten in the past have the diode already as part of the buzzer. :icon_cheers:

    2.3 into a BII.. Am I crazy?

    Well, all I know is what I read from Ford. I'll do some homework and let you all know what I find out. I DO know one thing though, and that is this 2.3 is an impressive little engine.

    dana 35 automatic 4wd questions.

    Hey guys, just my two cents.. I believe that the bad rap that the autolockers get is because they just aren't understood. Too many folks have had these and don't understand the workings. When someone gets ahold of one that actually wants and uses it as a 4x4 they fail because they've been...

    light on buzzer

    Checked my BII. It does not have a lights-on buzzer. One is easy enough to put in place though. Go to Radio Shack and get a itty bitty 12v buzzer (1/2" x 1/4"). Get under there with your fuse panel, put the positive wire (red) on the fuse that is hot when the headlights are on. Then find a...
