bronco II on 35s
From local CL ad:
================================================== ====
It's a 1986 bronco II that I bought stock about 3 years ago. I decided to turn it into a rock crawler / mud bogger.
The top was completely chopped with a custom 6 point roll cage installed that I built. It also has a 3in body lift and a 6 in suspension lift with 35in super swamper boggers on it and a locker in the rear diff and the front diff is welded. It has the stock v6 motor that was rebuilt about 60,000 miles ago. Also a custom narrowed front body. The truck is in rough condition and all the body work was done by me so its very far from perfect.
It is a off road vehicle and I do not recommend anyone to drive it on the street. The truck does run fine but it need a battery. Whatcha got to trade? I'm open to almost anything or I'll take $1,500 cash for it
================================================== =====
Going by the picture, which I lighten up (hint), can anyone figure out the detail that should have been taken care of first?

Well.. your pushing it there. That thing probably couldn't stand up to be a mall crawler! Haha.
I'll give you props for the work.
Couldn't you have just gotten a samurai? Basicly the same thing as what you have there..
Probably could have spent a helluva lot less!

Rebocardo, don't you just love CL :P
And you notice in that ad the poster says "It is a off road vehicle and I do not recommend anyone to drive it on the street."
I bet its cause HE KNOWS that it will break on the drive home.
Oh, driving pretty good.. OMG POTHOLE!!!! Oh there goes the tires.

Actually I do.
I just got a free adjustable V-5 receiver hitch rated for 6K to put on the front of my 1988 B2 :-) I gave the guy $20 even though it was free so he would hold it (nabbed it within the 1st 45 minutes of the post) and because I didn't want to feel like I was robbing him.
The real reason you probably can't drive it on the streets is the 2.9L with 35s (probably a 3.45 ratio) can't move the vehicle out of the driveway unless it is in 4LO and pointed downhill

I got 5 super swampers off craigslist for only $150. They were upwards of $700 when he posted and I told him I didnt want his chrome wheels and he told me $200 for the tires and I gave him $150.
I didnt know I was getting a spare either, he just tossed it up on my truck. Chunked pretty bad but it could get you off a trail if you popped a tire.

Engine ran strong, but that POS sure gave me tranny troubles...

Lol my buddy sold his four runner, ( a REALLY nice four runner ) probably laaaaate ninties. Sold it and bought a samurai for the gas mileage. One of those ones, mud tires, rhino lined interior.. the whole nine yards.
It just takes 10 miles to get up to speed. Those little 1 liter engines just don't have much power haha.
I could never drive a bronco 2 or something. I've ALWAYS driven big block vehicles.
