Bronco II Dana 44/ Ford 9" Swap

kiethtyrrell · Jun 29, 2011

I recently started a swap on my 84 bronco II. Taking out the old dana 35 TTB and putting in an early bronco dana 44/ ford 9".

Here is how it all started out.. (Stock)

Eventually added a 3" suspension lift, 3" body lift and 35" tires.

This is when we took off the TTB..

Here are the brand new buckets and track bar bracket from james duff and track bar from bronco graveyard..

Here are the buckets on my bronco..

Here is the dana 44 under my bronco, almost all the way mounted..

We built a custom transmission crossmember..

Here the dana 44 is on. I just got new 6" leaf springs and I am planning on getting new low rate coil springs..

Now its bad ass, looks nice. Did you put upgraded shafts in the front with the bigger ujoints?

I did notice in the second picture of it being stock that the rear wheel is off the ground, safe to say it didnt have much flex then.

I also see that you put a 4.0 in her too.

That truck looks great! I love the combo of the lift that you've gone with.

Oh and definitely loving the original paint with the decals. I love it. ( that combo it reminds me of my brothers old suzuki 3 wheelers from when I was a kid)

Now lets see some wheeling pics of her!!!!

i dont have bigger u joints or shafts but it has 4.11s and a power locker in it. with disk breaks as well. the rear has 4.11s and a detroit. thanks for all the complements! more work is going to be done. i need to do the rear end and put on the 6 in skyjacker springs on!
i also don't have enough clearance between the engine crossmember and the third member so i will be changing something. bigger springs or cut up the crossmember?

Looks awesome man! I love the yellow and brown paint job.

Do you have a 4.0 in it?

dangerranger83 · Jun 30, 2011

His info says he has a 4.0 plus in the pics. I can see the oil pan.

kiethtyrrell · Jun 30, 2011

yeah it has a 4.0! i have had the 4.0 in for about a year now and i love it! has great power and starts up every time! thanks for all the compliments all of your rigs look great as well!

I want a 4.0 but damn do I love how I can beat on my 2.8 and it not give up or flinch on me, just keeps going.

kiethtyrrell · Jul 1, 2011

yeah i was hard on my 2.8 as well and it never blow up! i just dident have enough power and it liked to eat oil. also i bought the ranger with the 4.0 for 100 bucks and all that was wrong with it was the vacuum modulate on the transmission was bad. so i bought it and swapped the engine trany and running gear then scraped the truck for more then i got it for! :icon_thumby:
