Tony Raine's Bronco II

[Tony Raine]

thought about that, but flipping the springs would move the rear axle back almost 6", which is way more than i want. from what i have researched, 2-3" is about as far back as you can go without the axle hitting the gas tank when the suspension compresses.

Yep, I keep forgetting that, we are using a custom fuel cell so we don't have that problem...Keep up the great work!!

here are a few pics of how everything sits now, almost ready for the move to the new house:

I'm welding up a makeshift steering to get it on/off the trailer easier

parts pile

and the space formerly occupied by 2 other B2's

 

[RangerSVT]

Quite a parts collection you have there...Hope your moving to a good size garage that you can work out of

I like the other BII sitting next to the Modded BII, it's like looking at a before and after setup.

yeah, and the stocker is loaded down with more parts. makes my "main" b2 look that much taller

Wow, love what you have done to the B2. Just read the whole thread.

Thanks! reading it all in one sitting must look like i am scatterbrained, and can't make up my mind on anything. oh well, at least i am having fun

well, loaded up the b2 for its voyage to my new house. going to bring the brown one out later

first time its moved in quite awhile

trailer is a 20 footer. its a loaner, buddy of mine got it for $200. its rough, but it does the job. might need some new boards soon

its tempting. heck, i dont even need half the stuff i piled in it. i just saved a bunch of stock parts from the other 2 that i scrapped. i'd even throw in a full width 44/8.8 combo that i'm not using.


its a dandy storage shed, but the right price would take it. clean title too.

 

[RangerSVT]

I was gonna ask how long that trailer was, you could damn near fit both B2's on there...

Oh man, i've been wanting another BII since i was forced to sell my old one. I need a car for school and a BII doesnt exactly get the mileage i need but i love em. What year is it and what motor and trans does it have, and how long has it been sitting.

20 footer. a little longer, and i think i could have fit both. it would also be a combined BIIs/trailer load of around 10,000 pounds. with no trailer brakes and p series tires.

thanks! hope it was an entertaining read

not even sure if it runs, and it sat for awhile. some guy tried to swap a 5 speed in place of the auto, and lost interest. but it was running when parked. i swapped the (incorrect) 5 speed with one from the right year, swapped in a manual trans computer, put on some tires that held air, and that's about it.

its an 87, i think. 2.9, manual hubs, and i have a manual t-case or 2 laying around for it (and a bumper). i have most of the parts to complete the 5 speed swap, but it still needs a clutch line and reservoir.

i mainly bought it as a spare body for my BII (which is why i've never tried to start it).
