FS Bronco= Garbage.

You do not want a full size anything on a trail, ever.

My brother and I both DD B2's they are indestructible.

I want a FSB. I don't want it for trails.

Frank is right, anything full size is just not maneuverable or narrow enough to really be out on the trails. If you want to trail ride with it, find another B2.

If fuel consumption is any concern , the b2 is not great but it's much better than a full size. In the trails there's not much that beats a b2.

bII with full size axles!

I'm sorry, Tank beats EVERYTHING.

Not really, they have bad visibility, need lots of room, and get bogged down easy in mud.

I will say that a full-size bronco is more useful out on a trail than anything else full-size, but an early explorer 2 door or a bronco 2 is a much better choice.

I like your setup too. That's why my DD Ranger is getting it Johnny Cash style, one piece at a time.

1978=1979 FSB for the Win. Having owned all 3 the FSB was a nice cushy DD, the 1978-1979 FSB is a badass mutha trucka, and the B2 is nimble and if built nice an excellent Jeep shutter-upper.

mine started as the motor, which turned into the trans, then t/case, which meant drivelines. then i found out how great the 8.8 is.. and yeah, i'm doing that to! lol

I think full size is good for running over things big rocks logs ect.The B2 is good for maneuvering between and around things hard turning ect.The thing is I live in the Plumas National Forest in northern Cal.Here there is very few things to run over and lots of things to go around.Real world likes smaller rigs out in the field.

Mine started as wanting a 4.0 for years, then blowing up my trans before the 4.0 made it in. Now I have axles waiting, no engine yet, and no place or money to finish.

My choice would be an '80-'86 FSB with a D60 SAS, D70 rear, no lift, and 33's with a 12 valve Cummins.

Full size Broncos are bad on gas but are fun to drive.

But in my personal experience with just seeing so many like this, they rust out FAST.

So keep it in good condition if you get either one

 

[balch1991]

i think imma get another b2 this post is pretty old still havnt gotten another car but a b2 wit a v8 swap and dana 44 and ford 9 inch would be pretty nice lol

 

[The_Dealer]

i woulda go for the eb bronco's, not really fullsize, more like midsize. or a 79 bronco. like others have said fullsize rigs suck on trails. buy a blown up b2, buy a running 79 fsb or f250 with bad body, swap motor trans and axles into b2
