When you get a $400 grand cherokee there really is a thing called "just ain't care", supposedly it's a blast... I've ridden with friends with beaters and it is fun, same with $800 Tahoe's... My Ranger is pretty dented up but I still care too much to go full send... I stay in partial send mode...

My daily driver is actually a 1993 Grand Cherokee 4.0, but it's in respectable condition this I maintain it so.

1986 Bronco II sitting oh Dana 44 HP, Ford 9”, C4 tranny, Dana 20 t/c, with a 351w on 38.5” Interco Super Swampers.

I have looked at Unreal Adventure and think it would be fun. My hold up is the roll cage requirement that I also doubt some of the attendees actually have roll cages. Hope truck is going this year.

I finally found that popping noise ive been hearing while turning at the log jam at Elbe last weekend..... only thing stopping the whole arm from twisting off was the length of the upper bolts and the lower was still attached.

Problem fixed and added extra bracing for strength. No longer pops so that cracked weld was definitely there for at least 2 years.

Close enough to being a Ranger so it counts!

These are cool. Funny when people buy a Ford Explorer to get the engine and drive train out of it to put in a Bronco II and basically build an Explorer Sport. I wonder if anyone's ever converted the front clip to a Gen-1 Ranger / Bronco II and blended it all together to look factory? That would be cool. These also have a better wheelbase.

Its been done, I looked into putting together a first gen (83-88) 4dr BII eons ago. IIRC if you are good at bodywork it wouldn't be too bad.
