I obtained a Bronco 2 about a year ago with 40" Iroks on it. I was running a modified TTB long travel Ranger on 35s and bought the B2 for the tires. I ran the Ranger for about a year on a Dana 35 TTB and 8.8 Rear with Lockers front and rear and 4.56 gears on 40" IROKs with no issues. Well the Ranger body got quite destroyed in a few roll overs and tree encounters and I wanted something with more room. So hence Bronco 2.
The B2 is a 1988 1st Gen. The Parts list is:
Engine - 2.9 6cyl (Until it blows then FI 5.0)
Trans - C5 fully rebuilt with all new C4 internals, and Reverse Manual VB (With a chance of bellhousing it will fit a 5.0)
Tcase - Doubler 1350/1354
Body - Comp Cut with Exo Cage.
Front Axle - Dana 35 TTB, Trussed, Clearanced, 4.56 Gears, Lockrite Locker, Warn Jeep Hubs (Indestructible per Warn), Moog Joints, Stretched 6.5" forward and each beam is stretched 0.5" for an additional width of 1" overall.
Rear Axle - 28 Spline 8.8, Detroit Locker, 4.56, Truss, Stretched 8".
Suspension - Front: 12" King 2.5" Coilovers. 2" Bump-Stops (Dont know what brand yet)
Rear: 14" King 2.5" Coilovers and 4 link. 4" Fox Bump Stops
Wheels and Tires - 15x10" Steel wheels with Custom MKFab Beadlocks and 39.5x13.5x15 IROKS
The body is comp cut for clearance of the tires on articulation. I believe this will be the first Stretched TTB build ive seen not using a tube chassis and using the stock frame. Overall Stretch is 6.5" front and 8" rear for and overall wheel base of 108.5".
How it sat in my yard for the last year.
The "Mini Me" is based off the Mega truck I built the last two years that a buddy of mine owns.
