'86 bronco
Hey guys I just bought an '86 Bronco that does not run. I am looking at fixing it up. I don't have any pics yet but I will be going to where it is being stored tonight and take some. I think I am going to stick with the 351w although we will do some minor things to it for now. I just need it up and running so I can make sure everything else works. I was wondering if you guys have any advice for things to watch out for when fixing this thing. It needs some minor stuff done like the back window is sluggish going up and down and the power locks don't work. I can hear the mechanism working but it seems to be disconnected from the actual lock. I am going to end up putting a 4"-6" lift on it as well. Do you think it is better to stay with the TTB or go to solid axle and is there anything you think I should look out for or take into consideration?

If you want a mix of offroad and daily driving, stick with the TTB. You'll have better control on the road at the cost of some suspension travel.

Agreed. The TTB really does offer great on and off-road control, just at the cost of suspension travel. In my 8 years of off-roading and camping, I've never wished I didn't have it. The control is just awesome. But, I have no lift and 31" tires.
But, the TTB just doesn't work that well with that big of a lift and tires. It's engineering didn't have that in mind. In that case, you'll probably want to solid axle it.
