Re: New '88 Bronco II Hunting Rig Project

I primed most of the rig this afternoon. It got crazy windy so I wheeled it back into the garage, plan on finishing it up early in the A.M. I really want to mount these tires, but I still need to get the body lift installed and fenders cut. I also need to pick up some 15x8 wheels. I dont feel comfor...

Re: New '88 Bronco II Hunting Rig Project

I've been wheelin' n dealin' on craigslist lately and got a killer deal on a set of wheel today. They were Kumho Road Venture MT KL71 33/12....

Re: New '88 Bronco II Hunting Rig Project

Banged out the fender swap today. Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be to get off, about a dozen bolts total including the inner screws to attach the plastic molding. It didn't line up 100% on all the bolt holes but I made it work, I suspect the fender was from an earlier model bronco II. I also ...

Re: New '88 Bronco II Hunting Rig Project

I also got to work on the hood and scoop. I decided to make an active intake out of a cheap universal hood scoop after seeing a few bronco II's online that had similar setups. It was a simple cut in the hood and some filler in the gaps after I attached it. ' I had to cut into the hood insulation bec...

Re: New '88 Bronco II Hunting Rig Project

The bed liner interior is wrapped up for now. I put a total of 3 coats ( 4 if you count the rough in around the edges.) It turned out pretty decent but I wont know until it fully dries, its still a little tacky after 12 hours. I had enough left in the can to slap a coat in the mirrors and the hood s...

A days work..

I got another coat of bed liner slapped on the rig this afternoon. It's really starting to build up some texture now and is starting to look a little better. I have enough left in the can for a really thick final coat as well as some to touch up any missed areas. I will be doing the door jams and th...

Last Nights Progress~

I got some work done last night on the Hunting rig... I finished cleaning and sanding the interior. I also taped off some of the plastic panels to see how well the bed liner stuck to them. I will probably add some extra coats to the fenders to make sure it sticks. I also filled some gaps and a few c...

A little Progress

I got a little bit done on the Bronco II this afternoon including stripping out most of the interior. I also got the drivers side replacement fender prepped and treated with rust converter so that it can be primer tomorrow.These star bolt or torx head bolts are a pain in the arse! It took me half th...

Progress so far~

I got a little work done over the weekend including washing it down, taking the seats out, and I began to strip some of the carpet out. There is a small dent on the drivers side fender, but the previous owner included a new one, so I have also been sanding it and prepping it to be primed and install...

New '88 Bronco II Hunting Rig Project

This weekend I acquired a 1988 Bronco II Eddie Bauer edition 4x4 with the 2.9 fuel injected engine and automatic tranny. The truck overall is in decent shape. The engine ticks pretty loud, but don't they all :) It has unknown amount of miles on it, leaks a small amount of oil out the valve cover,but...
