Re: Inherited '88 BII
Sorry for the long absence, I've been working overtime and spending all my free time wrenching on the Bronco. BUT! I finally cranked it up with the new engine last week, and today I drove it home! It drives pretty much like new, except I've found the steering to be a bit loose. There is some noise f...

Re: Inherited '88 BII
Thanks! It's a decent looking truck from 10 feet, it definitely needs a bath though. The appearance stuff will take a back seat to just getting her running. Right now I've got the hood off and all the wires and hoses labeled and pulled, and hopefully this weekend I can pull the engine and start swap...

Re: The Tek At Large Website is shutting down!
Fair enough, I can definitely understand taking a break. Between working 12 hours/day, working on my BII, the web hosting, and most importantly family life, I don't get much free time.

Re: The Tek At Large Website is shutting down!
If you'd be interested I could host you for free. I know you said it's both a financial and time burden. I can't do anything about your time but I can take away the financial burden. I generally focus on artists and writers, but I'd hate to see the wealth of knowledge and experience you've amassed d...

Re: Inherited '88 BII
Thanks! I've read nearly every relevant forum post at all the RBV websites over the past several weeks, so I feel I'm well prepared. I have both the Haynes and Chilton's manuals, and I'm a competent shadetree mechanic, though this will be my first solo engine swap (I've assisted with swaps in the pa...

Inherited '88 BII
Hi folks! So my dad passed away back in February, and my mom gave me his 1988 BII XL 4x4. It has a 5-speed with manual hubs. The Bronco actually has a lot of history in our family. It started out as mine back in 2002, I had gotten it in trade with a friend for a tired old 1988 Honda Prelude. He want...
