Anyone drive an orange BII with James duff stickers on the rear side windows, slight lift, ATs, and black rims? I think it was in Virginia, saw you parked at a McDs a few days ago. Truck looked great.

i am thinking about getting those same tires (30x11.5x15 tsl sx) on a 15x8 rim with -27 offset on my 92 ranger. would those tires fit on a rim that size? and how much rubbing do you think there would be up front if i have about 1.5" of lift?

89 bronco 2 got her for a bottle of lambs navy, built the 2.9L not a single part re-used, tranny blew up, rebuilt the A4LD with the 4.0L shift kit upgrades and the updated manual valve, its got the 3'' lift at the moment but i just got the 6'' drop bracket kit ready to go in sitting at my shop.
tossed the cv style rear drive shaft for a replaceable u-joint style slip yoke drive shaft out of Michigan but the splines wore out in 6 months and not when i do the lift its getting a shortened 96 grand cherokee front drive shaft with the double cardon. i have the hood painted with the twilight blue and waiting for better weather to do the rest of the truck.
keeping the bronco 2 appreciation alive!
any tips for making the 6'' lift a bit easier im all ears, but it looks fairly simple compared to the million ram truck mall crawlers I've had to do at work!.corey bronco 2.jpg

Default 85 Bronco II

My 85 B2. got it for $50. front end was totaled.. found a parts one at a u-pull and I talked the guy into trading me parts for parts plus $50. I also changed the red inter. to the tan E.B. I don't have any pics of it at first, but this is what it looked like after I changed the front clip and drivers door. And got the pop open rear hatch glass...


This is with a 2" body lift.. and a u-pull 4" ruff country lift that was on a 87 B2, got it for $30. Testing out a 33"


Now it was time to make it all one color... so I put the Hurculiner on the bottom half and painted the top with a hammered look gloss black paint..


Much better, then I found a set of 37" on 15" Allied true bead lock rims..


Time to trim the wheel wells a bit. Also I built me a new rear bumper..


Next a 4.0 v6, new front tube bumper with a 10klb winch. Also a D30 front axle and a 8.8 LSD. and make me some front long travel arms.
I'll keep posting when I get things done.. Thanks, Chris.
