Now ain't this just a snag?

I picked this up from a buddy for $300 and my rolled and trashed Long Bed. Not a bad deal I think. I'll post up the tech specs later!

The only bad body part!

Nice find. That's a hell of a deal.

agreed killer find IMO.

THanks guys. I got plans for this one! Just wait!

I've been busy lately with the new baby being born and stuff. I guess I'll post the specs right now though.

2.9 with gutted kittens by the previous owner, soon to have 2 1/4 exhaust with a Thrush muffler (Flowmaster knock-off), D28 and 7.5 geared with 3.45s (changing that soon), 5-speed, manual T-Case, power everything else.

Now to the Plans: D35 and 'Sploder 8.8 with 4.10s and a Detroit in the rear and a Truetrac Limited Slip up front, 'Sploder 5-speed and T-Case, James Duff Lift with 4" coils and leaves, custom shock mounts front and rear, and very soon to be building some new bumpers, sliders, roof rack, and a better spare carrier.

I'll post a build thread as soon as I start!

Once the B2 bug bites, it never stops... What size tires are you gonna be running? Looks like you've moved, I thought you lived in Coos Bay?

I've had the B2 bug since before I've owned one. Just couldn't find one that I liked and could see spending money on. I was living in Coos Bay, but decided to move back up to Bend so we could be closer to family and stuff.

As far as tires, I'm shotting for whatever fits without cutting the fenders. I'm thinking I'll be stuck with 31s. That's alright though, I want a vehicly more set up for exploring than flat-out wheeling. My whole deal is to make it reliable AND capable.

Well, the build thread is about to happen. As soon as the new Hard Drive shows up for my computard.

I got the gears I wanted (4.10s), just not in the axle setup I wanted.Got those swapped in yeasterday (I love 'em already). I ended up with another D28 and 7.5. Hell, I got 'em for free, so I can't bitch.

Got the exhaust done too. Decided on 2.5 for piping, because of the shops lack of a mandrel bender. It's still fairly quiet with a nice little rumble.

I gotta get off this borrowed computer though. Later guys!

nice looking bronco for the price

Forgot to mention that a 4" Skyjacker Class II lift came with the truck when I got it. The guy I got it from just never had the motivation to do anything with it.

Anyone got any ideas for things I just can't live without?
