Selling my 1988 Bronco II. Odometer reads 58000. It is actually 158000 thousand but the odometer doesn't read that high. engine, trans and both axles were swapped at around 155000. Engine and trans had approx. 89000 miles on them at install. This truck has been built since mid 2007. From then until December it was trailered to and from the trails. Since December it has seen approx 1500 rd miles and a few offroading trips. It is tagged and insured in Ohio, and aside from some funny vibrations from he tires it will run 70+mph down the freeway with no issues.
Drive train:
1995 4.0 engine, 4r55e automatic trans out of 1996 Ranger, 1354 manual transfercase from a 94 explorer. Engine had new water pump, idler pulley new plugs, wires,and fuel filter done at install . Transmission was also flushed with a new filter.
Axles:
Front is a d35 from a 94 explorer it has a 4.56 Yukon gear set, Aussie locker ( installed in may)w/ c-clip eliminator. Rotors and caliper were replaced when truck was built. Was also converted to manual WARN lock out hubs..(have a couple extra lockouts and axle sahfts included) Has extended James duff stainless steel brake lines. I did new u joints, spindle bearings and axle seals when I put the locke rin in may. Also repacked the front wheel bearings.
Rear axle is a 31 spline 8.8 with disc brakes from 96 explorer The rear has a set of riverside 4.56’s and a Detroit lunch box locker. All bearings and seal where replaced when truck was built
Lift:
3” Performance Accessories body lift.
Suspension lift is a 3” James Duff. w/ variable rate springs in front w/ 30/70 oil filled shocks. Rear is the 3” Duff add-a-leaf (NO BLOCKS). Rear shocks are 40/60 oil filled.
This thing rides nice and smooth on the rd and handles the rough trails with ease. Flexes out nicely to boot.
Other Mods: Roof rail sliders. Have had the entire weight of the truck against a tree and no rear broken window’s.
Front bumper is a huge 1/4" thick piece of steel that was put on there TWO owners ago, however it has had the corners cut to gain clearance and is flush with he bottom of the frame rails.It now has the 8000# winch mounted behind it with roller fair lead on the front. The winch solenoids were moved under the hood next to the fire wall to keep them mud free. There is a winch control plug under the left head light and there is one on the dash inside the spot where the cig lighter used to be. (no more control wire running across the hood and dragging in the mud.) It has two d-rings on the front of it and two tow hooks on the frame rails.
Has a dual battery set-up. Both are mounted under hood with a battery isolator, charges both at the same time. Winch runs off second battery. Doors are pinned for easy removal.
Tires: 4 Almost brand new 35-12.50-15 km2's. Spare tires is a 35" off brand all terrain, has 5 matching bead locks built by Lost Valley Jeep. Approx 800 miles on tires and wheels.
THIS IS A DEDICATED TRAIL RIG ( that is driven to and from the traisl) THEREFORE IT HAS DENTS ( alot of them, comes with two rust/dent free fenders) AND SCRATCHES. IT IS NOT A SHOW TRUCK! It WILL HANDLE DD DUTIES BUT IT ISNT THE MOST PRACTICAL THING FOR SUCH!
$2800 located in Roseville Ohio.
Trade considered. I am looking for a half ton or bigger cab pickup truck 4wd would be nice but not needed. Prefer an ext cab but again not needed. v8 a must. Would also consider trade for a 4x4 utility atv. Not much interest in other things but if it has a 2000-3000 trade value Id MIGHt show an interest, so offer it up.
I can provide more and better photos if requested.
