Roll over

[b2tamer]

I've been looking every where for pictures of anything about someone who rolled there Bronco ii or ranger and fixed it up or least made it look decent again. Maybe people could post up pictures of before and after and how they fixed it, or maybe a link to a thread that someone made. Thank you

I flopped mine. (See avatar). Pounded out the dents and kept on wheelin

I saw a thread yesterday (bad memory) about a member who rolled his Bronco and damaged the roof to the point that he had to improvise witth floor jacks & 2 x 4's inside the cab to raise the roof line high enough to install a new windshield....

so...start with the easy fixes.....just study one area of damage at a time & work out a solution for each damaged spot....

Okay, mine I've popped out the dents just enough to put a windshield in, but I can't stand looking at it anymore, it has to be better. Here's a picture of what I'm working with

You will likely need to graft new sheet metal on to that to make it look really good again.

Oh it doesn't need to be perfect, its going to have some dents still but I don't mind some, its just horrible looking right now.

I'd graft a new roof onto it. It wouldn't be that hard. Cut halfway down the A & B pillars and around the back hatch area and reweld the new one on.

Just find one that rotted out from the bottom up, the roof will still be good.

Well I was thinking maybe chop the top and while I'm at it fix the top, and then seal it all up like a ranger and put a bench seat in it so me my wife and daughter can all go wheelin together, my daughter is still young and enjoys sitting up front in the middle next to me. I was thinking about getting a ranger, but I already have the Bronco so why not. Is there any reason not to chop the top off?

Rolled:

I pulled the roof panel, pounded the dents out, straightened out the ceiling panel, pulled both fenders and straightened them the best I could (not good, but not bad looking either...), pulled the interior door panels and straightened the doors, had a porta power to re square the cab so the door gaps looked reasonable, did the best I could with the bedsides (they still need work, but whatever...). It's still a work in progress but from a distance it looks fine other than the spots of grey primer covering cracks in the paint I apparently don't have current pictures of it on my photobucket...

The top on that looks pretty dang good, I'm going to try to make mine come out like that so it doesn't really look like I really ever rolled it.

My buddy did this to his B2

And we fixed it by doing this

That's at the landing spot of the roll... the roof is pretty screwed at that point... although since it was in sand it was pretty minor compared to how it could have been if it was on rocks or something more sturdy! I've got more pics of the repair process somewhere I'll put up this weekend...

If you get the headliner of your BII out of the way you'll have 100% more access to the roof panel than I had (Ranger's have a full double roof, I had to pull the panel to get anywhere...)

That's after I got home, a buddy laid across the seats and pushed the roof up to make it stick up instead of down...

There you can see the damage to the drivers side (the side it landed on)

cab needed to be squared up...

The rear spring mounts got a bit tweaked, this was my repair process

This is what I did with my first B2.

This is how I fixed it.

And here is my current B2 with a sealed cab like you were talking about doing.

my friend rolled his rodeo a few days after getting it and what he did was what adsm suggested by using floor jacks inside the cab and then used a small sledge hammer and pound it the rest of the way, it turned out pretty good and looked like he just used it to sit on not that he rolled it over
