Yea, I finally decided to do a build thread....
It has kind of been one of those really long term projects, unfortunately. But it's been a great learning experience as it was the first truck that I made an attempt to modify. So without further delay...
I bought the truck off a former? member on here (some of the older crowd may remember him, sherrodwannab2, aka Farva. I have no idea if he still lurks here or not. He cracked a head which resulted in a small fire in the engine compartment and burned the wiring harness. I was going to buy some parts off him till we struck a deal on the whole thing... for $160.
1989 Bronco II 2wd, 5-speed. I got it with Hijacker air shocks in the back, 31" tires, and a 3.55 gear ratio. Previous owner had cut the top off (but saved the glass which I got with the truck). Oh, and it had like 30 aftermarket lights, none of which worked.
This is how the truck looked when I got it. Suspension was entirely stock (supposedly) aside from the air shocks in the back.
And the engine fire....
