Ok so the truck wasn't really struck by a tornado but sure looks like it was. Recently we picked up a 96 ranger 2wd 4 banger stick shift green with tan interior (well what was left of the interior. Problems with this truck: Has quite a few dents but nothing some body work can't take care of...

Ok so I have had our 84 Bronco 2 4x4 2.8L TK5 for a while but about a week and a half ago I picked up two trucks. A 94 Explorer 4x4 4.0L V6 which had a supposedly locked up engine but wasn't and A 92 Ranger 4x4 4.0L V6. I swapped the ranger engine into the explorer and afterwards found out...

Ok recently I picked up 2 trucks. One is a 94 Explorer 4x4 4.0L V6 the other is a 92 ranger 4x4 4.0L V6. Both have good transmissions I have driven both. The explorer supposedly had a locked up engine I never checked it while in the truck or anything so I pulled the engine from the ranger and...

I know the rear brakes on our 84 Bronco 2 are on the way out. I just picked up a 92 ranger for parts for my explorer and I have no use for the brake parts in my explorer. So my question is can I take the brakes (drums, shoes, and such out of the ranger and put it into our 84 bronco 2? I am...

Ok I will first say that personally I don't care for carburetors every one of them I have seen are such a PITA when they run out of gas or it is cold out. Also I want to stay with the 2.8L in our Bronco 2 I don't want to do a 4.0L swap (I have my reasons for it). Now we have an 84 Bronco 2 4x4...

Howdy everybody. Yesterday at the junkyard I found a tach style cluster in a 80s ranger I am guessing 87 or so but not sure I know it is a first gen 2.9L Fuel injected though. What I was wondering is if I could take the tach style cluster from it and just direct swap it into my 84 B2 2.8L carbed...

Hey guys we are looking at a 95 Ranger 4x4 extended cab with the common (so I have heard) 2nd gear slipping issues. I heard that it is the Valve Body gasket that does this. Is this correct? Also what are some cheap common mods done on this gen ranger? What engine was available I am reading 3.0...

Ok so when we aren't working on the house, Bronco 2, the Harleys, or my dad's truck we work a bit on my 88 F150. I do most of the work myself but do get help from my brothers. So I love getting ideas and sharing about my truck. First off info on the truck: 1988 Ford F150 4x4 302 C6 auto...

Ok today I was driving my dad's 84 Bronco 2 4x4 2.8L V6 Toyo Koygo 5 speed manual transmission and I backed up and made the wrong turn. I pulled back up and backed up again the right way. But right before I pulled back up the rear end started acting almost like it was locking up but it still...

I thought I would share some pics of our 5 full size trucks. That is 5 of 9 vehicles we have. (the others are a motorcycle, B2, Expedition, and a chevy Van) I am 16 and the oldest so thats part of the reason we have so many trucks. First one is our 2002 Ford F250 4x4 Crew cab V10. Short bed...

Howdy all, I thought I would start a build thread for the fun of it of our Bronco 2 being built up. This is used almost daily as a driver but I am working on fixing it. It is my younger brother's 84 B2 (I am 16). It has a Toyo Koygo 5 speed manual transmission in it. We bought it for $400 with...

Howdy guys we have a 1984 Ford Bronco 2 4x4 5speed tranny. Right now we are stock with 235 75 R15 tires but with the suspension sagging they rub a bit in the right position. My buddy has a blown engine 83-80something (same body style and all) with a 4inch lift kit I am guessing. 4inch blocks...
