Very nicely done Bronco II man!!! Super clean and has a cool twist of style on it. Nice to see someone else taking their time and doing a nice build and trying different things.... and thanks for the shoutout!
Hey man! Alex from Sweden. Just love your built! I am driving a 100 miles this weekend to get me a rust free 1989 Bronco II Eddie Bauer edition with the lift, wheels and facelift already done. But i will do allot of your other upgrades. Thanks for the video, saves me allot of time. Cheers!
Nice Bronco, I own two, one for off road the other a sleeper w/ a 3.2L turbo coupe engine. I once played around with extension brackets on the TTB. For off-roading it's a dangerous waist of time. In fact for street driving it reinforces the chance of roll over. I found there are ways of lowering the CG of the vehicle and still keep the flex and articulation of the suspension. And it looks better. Nice job, it's obvious you but allot of time and effort into your rig. The B2 is one of the nicest looking Broncos made. Love the visibility out the side glass.
Very nice Bronco II Build, I bet it is a blast to drive through the dunes of Martin Bay. Just be care full of the mud, I made the mistake of trying to go through it in my Dad's '84 BII after the lake dropped. The 2.8/2.9L don't have enough umph to get through it.
I got my '90 back on the road, fuel tank was full of rust and fuel pump was bad. No rust though, has never seen salt. Your paint is 100% better than mine.
You would be shocked at the difference in suspension performance by simply using the Dual James Duff 70/30 shocks in the front instead of any other brand!!
Could you tell me what year jeep that bumper is from? I'm interested in looking around for jeep bumpers since there aren't too many bronco ii options out there eh.
Nice job on the suspension. I’m about to buy the rough country 4 inch lift but would really prefer to pick up the duff gear like you did. What year explorer leaf springs are you running?
Man you guys are killing me. I had a 89 4wd but not lifted. Just stocked. I've regret it since I let the insurance company take it. A deer happened to decide to run toward the headlights and jumped off a 8 ft bank right in front of me and I was running about 70 when I hit it. I hit it so hard it pushed the radiator into the motor but it was middle of the night so I thought it was fine. I turned around to go look at the deer. That's when it began to run hot but I still didn't get out and look at it. The only thing wrong with the deer was one broken rib and head trauma. A cowhorn and it knocked one of the antlers off but besides that, I tenderized the meat by dragging it about 50 ft down the road. I just made it home and that''s when I really got to see the damage. The only thing about mine was the drivetrain. That combination just didn't work. I replaced 2 transmissions, one rear end and just rebuilt the motor. Luckily I just bought a 94 explorer sport but even with the motor upgrade in the explorer, I wish i'd have bought it back from the insurance company and had it rebuilt. I've been looking for one before they became popular again and I just never pulled the trigger. I couldn't find one that was up to par. I'm not to big on that large lift especially with the size tire that's on it but I guess that's probably all the tire that motor could handle. It's a survivor though.
Sweet ride. Just picked up an '88 for cheap but pretty rusty... runs and drives and stops tho.. maybe just a mud machine??? Anyways, does the back glass open, independent from hatch? Mine is an xlt and thought it would but it doesn't . ty
Beautiful truck. Also have 2 bronco 2! Just purchased the same steering stabilizer. Having trouble installing it. Did you have to use the back up plate ?
Yes the back up plate bolts nicely to the frame with existing holes..unless you have the RC drop brackets for their 4" sway bardrop it should fit fine.
Nilight 50" curved..those mounting brackets are on ebay from a ford ranger..you have to drill holes in the drop rail for best results. Nilight has a wiring loom that comes with the bar, but the switch panel inside I bought on their sight because I had more than one light. The bar kit does comes with a switch for the light bar if that is all you have. It is REALLY BRIGHT.
Awesome truck! I had one 20 years ago, for the 2.9 v6 engine they had a problem with cracked cylinder heads. Did you have the same problem, or another engine? 🥳👍🏾😎🤟🏾

Hi Gavin: The Blue Ford Letters are sometimes available on EBAY for about $75. I also think Jeff's Bronco Graveyard may have them. The grill is a factory black plastic grill that I modified and added that flat black plate to hold the FORD letters on. I just released another video that shows a quick view of it..check it out

Man original emblems are amazing. Not sure on that choice to remove them. I've owned two over the years. Don't get me wrong. This is an awesome build but just throwing out some generalized opinions not throwing hate at all just fyi.
My Original emblems were not sticking and I wanted to try something different so I had these made. I may eventually swithc back but I wanted a bit of a retro look.
Ya, these v6 motors are not the best..I have another being transformed with a 5.8. Look for the new video on that in a few months. There will be a vid released today that touches on that.

The rocker switches for the sasquatch / bumper lights and winch look awesome. Love how they fit in with the factory look. Very clean!
Thnaks for the comments, I appreciate it. Lots of hard work and fun.
I had an 86 Bronco II back in the 90’s. Nice job on a budget rebuild, keep up the good work!
I moved on to a 2018 Colorado ZR2, love my ZR2…
I’m considering buying an 86 bronco II as a first car and project, any advice/tips?
Very clean rig!!! Nice upgrades!!! You gave me a couple ideas for my 1990!!
Very nice....im not a ford guy but ive always wanted one of these bronco 2...yours looks very clean and very nice...

Can you add some info about what the process was like mounting the B2 brackets on that bumper?
I got my '90 back on the road, fuel tank was full of rust and fuel pump was bad.
No rust though, has never seen salt.
Your paint is 100% better than mine.
Dealing with the same problems. What kind of symptoms were you getting?
Super nice build but how's that alternator gonna put out 200 plus amps through a 50 amp fuse?
ugh..nice catch! It's a 250 AMp fuse...my bad!
I LOVE the original Ford BII floor mats. I always wanted to find a pair for my Bronco II.
Super rare in any color. They are the best by far!
Wow! It’s fantastic, just subbed within 10 seconds lol. I’m restoring mine now and love seeing this
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice ride. I prefer the interior on the 88. The 89 has the early explorer interior.
You would be shocked at the difference in suspension performance by simply using the Dual James Duff 70/30 shocks in the front instead of any other brand!!
Great video, even if it wasn't your first. Great job. Please make more about this Bronco
More to come!
Could you tell me what year jeep that bumper is from? I'm interested in looking around for jeep bumpers since there aren't too many bronco ii options out there eh.
Clean little Bronco Ii. I have one myself that's got a Dana 35 and a disc 8.8 with 5.13 gears and lockers on 35" with a 5.5" lift
That sounds awesome. Love the mods you made.
@@jeffbanghart2311 there's alot more to list but those are the main ones that are noticeable.
Tengo una 1986en tj México original. Buen trabajo
did you extend the wheels out any? Did you use spacers or offset rims to do so? I have an 86 that I'm working on
The wheels are ION alloy 15" I believe they are 4MM offset. Easy to find on their website.
Do you know what kind sway extended links you got or is it generic?
Nice job on the suspension. I’m about to buy the rough country 4 inch lift but would really prefer to pick up the duff gear like you did. What year explorer leaf springs are you running?
91-94 Explorer 1250 Ib $80 apiece from General Spring in Kansas City..
Awesome truck
Thanks 👍
That's fantastic! Love it!
Cool Bronco. I don’t know much about them but did you say 7” of lift and only 31” tires?
Duff Lift says 5.5" but I have other things that change a bit..I now have 33" but this video shows 31".
I have an 87, it’s been sitting for ten years. About to resurrect it.
Same brother I have an 85 that has been sitting since 05 in need of tips on how to restore, odometer says 55 thousand miles on it

whats up from lincoln nice bronco!
the chevy drop shackels...do you remember where you bought them/part #??
Hi Jason: The Belltech 6400 drop shackles were what I used. Amazon sells them as well as Ebay. $45ish.

After 2-3 years any updates ?

Yes the back up plate bolts nicely to the frame with existing holes..unless you have the RC drop brackets for their 4" sway bardrop it should fit fine.
I've owned like 5..I love my 87 chop top with 31s.. I go places that leave chevys int the trees haha
I'd really like to see the chopped top one .I have an 1988 and I was thinking of chopping the top of it 11/2 inches
I can't believe I watched the whole thing! 😀
Beautiful
What light bar is that and how did you run the wires
