TRS is the best forum when it comes to tech & mod information, this forum has an awesome DIY section for all those things, no other forum I know of has such a section that I am aware of, or at least have or am a member of. I only wish I knew of TRS back in the early 00's it would have saved my 84 Ranger from being sold for dirt cheap.
I've learned a lot on TRS for my 84 and my current 88 Bronco 2's...The 84 was too far gone body wise to try and fix but I'm sure someone got some good parts at the pick a part off it. My 88 is going to be going under the wrench soon for a new engine, so happy to have that happening, decided to replace with a long block which gives a 3 year warranty rather than a rebuild and hope and pray it holds up. The Transmission was rebuilt a little over 2 years ago and is doing fine, and I figure getting a new engine will just help keep it on the road for a good many years to come.
I did have some radios mounted in the 88 B2 which I have removed, and probably will be replaced with a 1 quad band Yaesu radio in the near future and other radios will be thrown in a go-box at some point. My current Bronco 2 will be my Amateur Radio rig once its back on the road, probably a month or so away from the engine replacement.
