According to the NADA guide my 88 Bronco 2 is worth almost 1/2 what it cost new LOL...hmm, to find some poor SOB willing to pay that much though HAHA!!! At this point I wouldn't want to part with it, too much money tied up in the engine/transmission replacement/rebuild...plus its proven far more reliable than the 2008 Ford Explorer is LOL.That was a pretty good deal on the Bronco... the price has just gone out of control on anything Bronco.
I've built one of these as a trail rig in my head for a couple years... once i get moved and IF the right Bronco II comes along I'm afraid I'm probably just going to buy it.
I'm gonna follow along as you go... looking forward to the progress.
Yes. Its been 5-1/2 years since the rebuild on the transmission, so far so good. Its been just over 3 years since the engine replacement. The trouble is the rest of the vehicle is still 33 years old, so axles, transfer case, wiring, interior, that type of stuff is still junk but I don't think it'll be on the road much longer, getting ready to get rid of it, tired of dealing with the worn out front end even after several thousand dollars in front end work, its still horrible to drive on the highway, it wanders all over the place after a few weeks having the front end work done, its right back to how it was before. Needs way too much interior and exterior work and its at the point where other things are going haywire in it too, so its time for it to go. Thinking possibly it might be better to part it out since the engine/transmission are good, the rest of it is garbage.Was that a rebuilt A4LD @wildbill23c ? Hopefully I will have no issues with mine. It has significant upgrades.
