Interesting options on a Bronco II

[franklin2]

This video has been on youtube since 2014 but I have never seen it before. It shows the lift-off back windows, a lift up rear hatch window, and rear cargo area storage compartments I didn't know they had.

That was pretty cool... I've never seen it before either.

I sure like those pop out side windows...

Cool video. Thanks for posting it.

There was one B2 with factory removable side windows finally found not long ago. Until that one it was only rumor. It was discussed on TRS but I'm not sure exactly when. Maybe 6 months ago?

Cool video, I hadn’t seen it yet either. I remember talk a few times over the side windows, though I haven’t ever seen one in person either.

The storage compartments all of mine have had, with the exception of my choptop because most of the interior was missing when I got it. The rest were two Eddie Bauers and two high optioned XLTs. Both XLTs were stripped and gone long ago, the one Eddie I still have and the other I sold (wish I would’ve).

None of them had the flip up front seat though, just the front seats have an extra slide to the tracks so it can go super forward like the extended cab Ranger.

One, an XLT, had the opening glass on the hatch but no rear defrost. If you wanted rear defrost, then it was fixed glass. That changed with the Explorer. I did see a couple Bronco IIs in a junkyard years ago that may or may not have had opening hatch glass. I remember looking at them, but they were gone before I really was after Bronco II parts.

Never found one with a sunroof that I remember.

I've had a few parts b2's. I've had the one with the compartments on the right side. The opening rear window. The rear window wiper. Interior spare tire space on right. Rear interior roll out cover. Also I think all had the front seat that lifted up but not real sure.

I have the flip up seat, rear storage compartments and the flip up rear window. I use it almost every day as the tailgate is not the best fitting item Ford ever made. I assume it partially warped from being red and in the sun for 37 years.

My 85 xlt Bii had the hatch glass that opened separately! And the closable rear compartments! Previous owner trashed the hatch right before I got it. Still have the interior from the back with the compartments! It’s cracked up is why I removed it! Previous owner again, trying to do something had no business messing with! He was stripping the interior everything but the seats and dash! Damn glad I caught him before he got that far lol! I hate I didn’t catch him before he started! Seen pics of it when he first got it and it looked decent for $1,000! Ran and drove no problems and 4x4 worked, so good score! Few months later after he started removing sh#t fuel pump went out and so did his hot water heater! Lucky me!!!! So put him in a hot water heater and gave him $500 bucks and she’s been mine ever since! Him not knowing what was wrong with it and his girl fussing at him to sell it didn’t hurt I guess!!

I replaced my flip up seat with a slide, just because I like it better. I have had the rear storage before, I can't say I miss it, but, I really need to get a keyed rear hatch. Really a pain locking everything down with a padlock and chain. Thank you for the video link.
