with my pony express project getting her final touches & back on the road,
Its time to drag the bronco in the shop.
I am starting with a 1989 bronco II EB edition. 2.9 auto. I picked up a few years back for a DD.. she now has over 200K on her original driveline & started laying down on me last week with a bad lifter tick & the trans starting to slip,...SOO its time to start the transformation into the jeep recovery vehicle I have been planning to build for a few years..
for now, I drug home a 1988 BII to swap out some of the running gear,
swapping my 3.73's for 4.10
a open rear diff to a locked 7.5,
electric Tcase for manual,
& auto hubs to locking.
while the drivetrain is out & getting rebuilt, we will be adding a 4in suspension lift, installing new body bushing.. doing a few body mods, & fabbing up some skid plates & sliders.
still weighing out all my options for motor trans combos, along with a few other mods .. more to come..
