Tell me if you agree

Out of all of the off-road vehicles I have seen from friends I must say that the Bronco II is one of the best you can own. The parts for them are very cheap, they are easy to repair, their turning radius off road is just unbeatable, and you can buy them cheaply. I just finished rebuilding my 2.8 but...

Best way to replace the flywheel
