I'll appologize now for the long-winded post. I'm really just venting, but opinions are always welcome. Bottom line, my little BII needs more gumption! I can't decide if I want to just leave it stock and suffer the lack of power, go up to 4.10 gears for better acceleration (running 235/75/15's)...

I am puting a mirror arm CB antenna mount on the tire carrier of the BII. I need someone to give me the OD of the main tube so I know which one to get. I think it's 1 1/8" or 1 1/4". I'm on the road and want to have the mount by the time I head home. Thanks!

OK, here is the seemingly impossable feat I'm facing. I want to come up with a 10" sub enclosure for the BII. Mine is a 2 seater with the rear seat bottoms removed and the uppers folded down for the lay flat configuration. It stays this way. I need an enclosure that WILL NOT impede the cargo...

To start I have used the search function and can tell you I am not trying to cover any issues with the steering system. I just had the alignment done with new caster bushings so all of my previous issues are all but gone. The difference is astonishing! My truck is running 235/75-15, has no lift...

I hope it is OK to post this link. While perusing the web for exhaust ideas I came across this kit and decided I have to pass it on since I haven't seen a reference to it yet. BroncoIIExhaust.com Bronco II Exhaust.com Custom-Fit Performance Cat-Back Exhaust Systems for Bronco II •...

This is interesting. I have been having an issue of my tach running 500 high at idle up to 1k high as rpms increase. I got home yesterday (truck driver) and fired it up and the tach was off as it was when I left it. I held the rpms to about 3k (per the tach) and then all of a sudden it corrected...

I have been having a very high idle (between 1200-1800 rpm), a lot of smoke/steam and condensation from tail pipe with a very bad smell (think sulpher as a posed to fuel, but wife says it smells rich), rough running when cold and smooth[er] running when warm. I have been going over everythng I...

As an update I got the new rear springs and shocks all the way around put in. I also replaced the clogged heater core, so now I have heat! I took the truck for a test ride to check out the handling. It was great! The back end no longer drops on acceleration, turns at/over 10 mph don't feel...

I am going nuts trying to figure which leafs to put under the BII. I want to get rid of the sag and maybe gain 1-1.5". I am going to buy new so there is the 1st issue: BII or Explorer? How long will new BII springs be enough to bring the back end up? There is part # 42-821 with 5 leaves a 1020...

I hope I can explain this well enough... I am wanting to replace the stock rear leafs in the BII to something that will give it less deflection to the outside rear corner thus helping to keep the front end from jacking and reducing body roll. At least this is my theory of what it will do. Will...

I picked up a '90 BII last night. So, any second thoughts I had are too late. The previous owner had it on a deer lease for about a year before overheating it. He put new heads, radiator, and T-stat in it but left it sitting for a year after that, so I do have some issues. When cold it takes a...

Sorry, this is gonna be a long winded post. Well, I have been gone a while, since I sold the BlkBII. The firewall rotted out from leaves packed in the cowl and the wiring fried. Before I could get it back together the city sent me a letter threatening to take me to court for a trash vehicle. So...

Where can I get wire pins? The pins that are used in the connecting blocks? Any one know the proper name a part number for these? Maybe that would help. This is all I know them by. Thanks, MJ

I think I may have found the start of my wiring mishap. I found a battery ground cable with terminal still attached sitting on the wheel well between the battery tray and air box. I traced it to a retainer on the frame then to a bolt on the block. Obviously this is the original way the ground...

Is it possable to remove the rivets that hold the front bumper mount with a good chisel and hammer? I can't get my cutter out to the P-N-P so this would be my best bet. One of the family members hooked the bumper on a pole and pulled the bolt through the hole enlarging it, so I can either...
