I`m back too!

Just wanted to share on this board, I bought another bronco II, an `84 XLT with the 2.8, C-5 and all the usual goodies. I`ll post a couple pics of when I brought it home and a couple recent in progress pics too.

Looks like it will be a great project truck. You have a spot for the cigars?

Thanks guys, it feels good to have another bronco. I guess I`m sold on `em. Just the right size and cheap to come by. Sure made a huge difference when I put my old 30s on!

Flip, I put my old 30s on the pass. side for effect. They`re the only ones that hold air at the moment! lol.. as for the hi-lift, I used carriage bolts through the bumper bolt holes and part of the hi-lift mounting kit for jeeps, I just kept the "U" shaped brackets and the wing nuts. I sold the rest of the kit on ebay. It works great, and it`s out of the way. I`d rather use a James duff rear bumper with the spare tire and hi-lift mount but they`re $600!!!

I was just razzin ya :-) .. Looks good. I might know where there are a few more rims to match the one you show on front.

Speaking of stuff in the garage, my wife is starting to put her foot down and wants park her truck in the garage before she has to scrape windows.... It's kinda full now. Guess I got some cleaning to do.
