Right now i'm thinkin about buying a burnt orange Bronco II, 4wd V6. I havent seen it yet but the wanted price for it was 1250 but its all the way down to 750 now. I wanna buy one to use as a trail rig. Are the Bronco II's pretty good offroad with a small lift and some nice tires? I'm not lookin for it to be perfect, i'm planning to do alot of work on the truck. I want somethin thats farely small, not like a bronco or blazer. What do you all think of your trucks offroad?

i think its really hard to beat the BII or ranger suspention. i have ran a toy pickup, 4 runner, s10 and think the RBV is the best.

The one i want is a manual V6. I'm hoping it has a manual transfer case. I'm not sure if im gonna do it yet. If i dont, im just gonna lift my ranger, but a trail rig would be sweet. is the ttb suspension pretty durable? How hard or expensive is a decent solid axle swap on these?

This was moved by me to chitchat.

Good luck in finding a b2. They are very great vehicles in stock form. They only get better with aftermarket stuff added.

some clicking is normal on the 2.9L as long as its not loud. Mine clicked until the day I pulled it out. :D

whats biggest size tire in inches i can fit without trimming or lifting? What would i need to do to put 33's on there? I wanna do it cheap. Maybe like a 3" body and 3" suspension lift.

I had 30x9.5x15 on my 89 before a lift. Hard wheeling w/ swaybar disconnected and never rubbed.

i might see if i could trim and maybe put the 31's from my ranger on it, not sure. im also lookin at a solid axle 84 blazer right now with a snorkel and some other stuff.
