New guy from Washington

[johnson81]

Hi everyone. Decided it was finally time to introduce myself since I've been lurking for a while now. Bought my Bronco II a couple months ago from a buddy for $300. It wasn't really in bad shape. Just had some surface rust on the roof and hood so I decided it was time to just go ahead and paint it. I didn't particularly like the two toned gray and blue anyway. Just got the suspension lift put on and haven't even hit up any trails yet, so you'll never see it this clean again. I can tell already though that this is gonna be one of those never ending projects. I'm about to start work on building a new front bumper as well as some extended radius arms.

Hey maplevalley here I would like to find me a good cheap B-II to fix up if I only had the money gots lots o time.

That is really cool lookin....is that a 6in lift?

 

[johnson81]

Thanks! Yeah I think it turned out pretty good. It's actually just a Rough Country 4" lift. From what I've read on this site about the brackets being weak, I'm a little nervous to even take it wheelin. I also read that the holes sometimes don't match up very well but luckily I didn't have any problems with that.

Hey welcome to the site. I'm right over in Parkland (off 135th & Pac Ave), not far from you at all. I just went out to Tahuya in my stock Ranger and been to Elbe hills a few times in it as well. Hit me up maybe we can get together for some wheeling.

Thanks Jason. I've never been to Elbe Hills, but I hear it's not too stocker friendly. But if you've been there a couple times in a stock Ranger and not broken anything, that makes me feel a little better. I'm down for some wheelin! I just have a couple finishing touches to do before it's ready for the trails.

Ohh I said I've been there, never said didnt mess anything up lol. My rocker panels are dents pretty well from the rocks. there are a few trails I can do stock. the one that got the rockers I think I could have done if it wasnt muddy out. But I just slide into the rocks while trying to go up and around them.

Anyhow, how long till your ready. I'm putting 1.8:1 roller rockers and ud pullies on it tomorrow

My avitar pic is up at Elbe Hills. It was later in the day after denting my rockers.
