I need to figure that one out!
Not new to Fords or 4wheelin. I've had a few Explorers back in the late 90's. I had a Ranger when I lived in Minnesota (RIP little Ranger. It caught the cancer). I even had a 1989 Centurion 4 door C350 Bronco. However I found myself without a four wheel drive for many years now. But last weekend that changed. I felt the need to go small and acquired a turd of a Bronco II. One broken side glass, mismatched seats, broken steering column, dead 2.9, and just plain ugly. However there is good to be had. It has newer lift on it. I need to figure out what and how much of a lift, but it has one. It has less than 5% rust on the body. It was cheap. Most importantly, it has a clean title.
What made me dive into the B2 word, you're asking yourself? A friend has a friend that sold me a 94 Explorer with a good running 4.0 with a bad trans for, again cheap. I did not want another explorer but I knew that it makes for a great donor candidate. Heck, I already was able to acquire as BW1354m for $50 bucks to make a 1350/1354 doubler.
See the trend developing? Cheap!!!!
That's my introduction. Let the fun begin!

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Keep us posted on your project. We love to follow along.

Glad you made it over here @Ottoparts

Don't forget the Bronco Corral... It's a good forum and needs traffic.
