95 bronco build

[brgrcru]

Bought this 95’ bronco
Clean 118 k miles
Has a lift , but not what I want
Everything works

Will be more of a toad build
Wanted something we can flat tow behind rv
To travel the country. Do a little exploring .
Also a shuttle rig for my mountain bike adventures
Will have to pull rear drive shaft off to tow
No big deal
Lots of hammered stuff out there for a lot of money .
Didn’t want a jeep . Wanted something a little bigger more comfortable.
Build
Will be more of weekend warrior build
Stage 2 solo or Desolate MS stock width no glass
Bumpers
Manual hubs
Lawrence gps
Radio
Lights

You might be able to add rear Warn hubs to the back axle, not sure what axle it has.


also another option is
is a drive shaft disconnect. Just pull a lever / cable.

I had a bronco 95/96 and had a Autofab kit frt suspension also regeard to 4:10 on 33’s
it ran great!

really bummed I sold it !!

the transmission needs a bigger cooler and a temp gauge

but they are great trucks!

Looking forward to watching this build.

The manual shift TCase from the same era bronco is a straight swap and you can then hit neutral in the TCase which allows for flat towing.

This.
Having had a couple of that era Bronco's and Blazers, that thing looks pretty mint as is. You'd get my attention right away vs the usual mod'd POS's out there.

That was on my mind
Most likely will do that swap

I’m Not going for the full on pre runner build
More just a sleeper look

I like the way it sits and looks and being an old man . It might just get a few mods.

Good looking bronco man. Someday I will be in the market for a more stock one like this after the one I have right now. I have seen a few Borg Warner 1356 manual t-cases for sale on Facebook and Offerup in the last few months so keep an eye out and you'll find one pretty quickly I think.

We were in Death Valley a few weeks ago
Bronco did okay but blew out a rear shock
Needed a few other things in the front end
So we decided to tear into it asap

Nice looking weld bead!

 

[brgrcru]

Sitting on all fours again
Of course , when you tear into something you find out a bunch of bad something’s .
And the wallet keeps getting lighter .
All the bad things will be new
Just needs a new steering box and an alignment and it will be ready .
Won’t do much other stuff for now
A stereo and a Lawrence fish finder ha !

Been watching marketplace for some of those raptor take-offs. Did you use the stock valving or did you have them re-valved for your specific application? They look freshly rebuilt or maybe even brand new?

We did not touch them . Bought them from Bobby at solo
They worked perfect for me . The Way they were set -up.
Then again I don’t know much

 

[brgrcru]

Continuing on our bronco build
New 9” ford rear end with tru track added to front and rear
Disk brakes
New rotors and calipers on all 4 corners
1350 yoke and joints
Finally graduating to a coil front end
Fox 2.5 with fab lab towers
Should be fun , hammering through the desert

 

[Backlash]

Love the build!! Looking at the pictures of the tires in post # 23, I'm guessing you just pulled those tires off the front end and rotated them to the rear. Considering you put these tires on at Christmas, I'm surprised they've worn that much on the insides. Other than that issue, are you happy with the Mickey Thompson tires?? They look good with that wheel.

 

[dezertrider]

Sweet ride, I am seeing more and more Broncos out in the desert. Lots of nice bolt on products available from a few fabricators

I see what you mean on tire wear in picture
I think it might be an optical illusion ?
Tires are wearing good . At this point

Liking the MT tires

One thing the Broncos have an advantage over bigger cars is the turning radius. There have been a few times we have gone through some tight spots the SxS thought we wouldnt make it through
