Since it's a B2, this should be the best place to post this. It's not much just tootin my own horn I guess.

I never thought I would get to go snow wheeling in the south. We had about 9" here in Ardmore, AL. First ones on the road and we had a blast. We road over to a 3 acre vacant lot that is in the neighborhood. The entrance to the lot had a couple of hill climbs and the lot was full of holes and ditches to wheel in. The B2 did a lot better than I expected it to do. It's stock and the tranny is almost shot so I expected to walk home. Ford sure does build some awsome trucks, even when they are broke, you can't break them. :icon_cheers:

yeah hopefully you had better tires than I did when I played in the snow. My tires although they say a/t tires they really aren't.

I bought this Bronco for 800, with brand new a/t tires on it. I don't know the brand of tire as I type this, but I will post it later. This B2 has spent most of its older years setting in a garage or something like that. These brand new tires are dry rotten. The body mounts look new, all the rubber is good. Could have been replaced I guess, some years ago.


P.S. More snow in Ardmore, AL. today. Just an inch or two. :icon_bounceblue:
So much for the fire and brimstone of Global Climate Change.

Snow wheelings good because it's alot easier on your truck than dirt or mud. the downside is its cold :/

If you get stuck its easy to shovel,There's no clean up like mud,If you tear up the ground after the melt nobody knows.

I like the color also. I am in the process of replacing the trans. I found an FM145 from a place in South Carolina. They want 550 for a refurbished unit. They said it has the 5th gear fix, so I should get many good years from it. I wish I could find one local though.
