1989 Bronco ii project

[1989Bii]

i bought it in 09 like this

Then a few months later i put a 4" lift on it with some 33" tires

After that i decided to put in a 93 explorer 4.0, A4LD tranny, and transfer case, along with a upgraded driveshaft.

I went offroading with the road tires and they were very slippy on rocks and hard dirt, so i got some Goodyear wrangler duratracs in 33"s

I also put in some Rough Country leaf springs

then the headliner and cleaned it up inside

Then i made the bumper

The next thing i'll do is get a winch and ditch the old seats.

Truck is lookin awesome. What kind of driveshaft did you put in when you upgraded?

 

[4.0B2]

nice...

so what 4 inch lift did you use? and is just the 4 inch lift make you clear the 33's????

 

[Twister]

As i said on B2.org, very nice truck.

Where did you get the Roof Rack from

How do you like those Goodyear's? Are they good in the snow? I suppose you haven't hit any mud with them yet.

I am just looking at different tire options for my 94 EX. I like the reviews of the BFG KM2's but want to keep my options open........ Now I can't decide if I want 31's again or go to 33's

 

[1989Bii]

The tires are great in the snow, and also make a good grass rooster-tail. I haven't had them in the mud yet, but i'm sure they'll do fine. My brother used to have the BFG Km2's on his jeep in 35" and i can't say they were any better offroad,and defininitely not in snow. If you do get the goodyear duratracs, get them in 33"s. Hope this helps!

I used a Rough Country lift, and it was plenty to clear the 33", you might need to get a new front bumper though so it doesn't rub. Make sure that your rims have atleast -50 offset.

That good to hear let me know how they do when you hit some mud.

Yeah 33's are tempting but I don't know if the ex's trans will like 33's with only 3.73 gears.......... what gear ratio you got now???

We got the same running gear but your B2 is lighter than my fat 4 door Exploder:icon_rofl: nice pics of your truck I like your build.
