Hi Everyone,

Four years ago I bought a 1985 Bronco II, 4x4, 2.8 v6 from a friend who had it sitting in his garage for about two years with a blown motor, it was in perfect condition except for the engine, so I gave him $500.00 and looked forward to a fun project. Well, after sitting in my garage for another 4 years the wife said " Fix it or get rid of it" so I finally started the project.

I've replaced just about everything under the hood, engine, emissions, cooling system, etc.. and have cleaned, painted and or replaced about everthing else I could from bumber to bumper. I added an Californa Orange paint job and a 4" Superlift suspention lift and some 32" tires on 15x8 rims.

It turned out looking and running great. I've still got a few minor problems to work out and have learned alot about the truck throughout the process. So I wanted to join up and see if I can get some help on the remaining problems and maybe help out others who are heading down that long expensive road of breathing life back into a 20-year old truck.
