Anyhow, The one I am showing off, has a worn down 302, swaping this weekend,
Rebuilt AOD with beter clutches, TQ converter. Rebuilt T-case. 9" rear 4:11's Spooled. Frotn TTb removed, 78 High Pinion, Detriot locker, 4:11's . 4 Inch lift, (all custom brackets so stock parts are interchangeable) 33/12.5/15 All terrians. The doors got removed after the last wheeling trip buckled the drivers door towards the front and inwards. So i removed them (always wanted to) Top is never on, ( I live in the deep south where the temp here is always around 90. This winter, the body off resto will begin. I have the first of the two spare bronco i bought, with a great shell, so shelss willbe swapped. (Other frame is bent) It can be fixed, but i want it to be perfect,so bent frame will go to the trail rig (with the bad shell). The third one is goning to be daily driver. Well I'll fill you dudes (and ettes) in as we go

Welcome to Bronco Zone!!! You can never have too many Broncos, or 4x4's for that matter, and you always have spare parts. How does the minspool work with those 4.11's in that 9'? I'm thinking about adding one when I swap gears to 4.56, but might swap with 4.11/4.10 still looking atthat.
1984 Bronco XLT, 351W H.O., C-6 AT, Ford 9", SkyJ 6" lift, 35" tires on MT Classic rims, S&W Racecars 10-pt cage kit, custom "shaker" assembly.
1988 Bronco Custom, 302 EFI, C-6 AT, Ford 8.8". parting out
1986 Bronco Custom, 300I-6, NP435

depends on your..on the street style of driving. I find lots of skipping jumping drive train popping. It eats u joints (upgraded brute force) about every 3 months. eats tranny mounts (now running custom fabbed solid steel). Cool part is people grin, real hardcore guys know whats up. Its cheap ( I paid $15 for mine) Never had any problems with gears. Its solid locked for off road so I now i have no wories about when it might disengage or engage. I find rear tire wear is alot faster; I don't rotate rears at all due to life of about 6-8 months (All Terrians) Now to give an idea I drive mine about 200 miles a week on alot of 90 degree turns. So its not like i'm driving freeways or highways, Its all in town. If was to do it again I would, BUT I'd have a spare "chunk" with matching gears I could swap in when not wheeling, just to help out the wear and tear aspect; plus a spare is always good to have. (now if i could just find a Ring and pinion 4:11 for my spare 9")

yep I get around...LOL
Hardcore?..LOL
pix are no where as good as the vids, or the real thing. I used to be a hammer down style. ram it cram it type. Now that its evolved into a more capable rig, I'm able to take time pic a new challenging line. I loved the abuse the bronco took and never broke...except..

Now that I've installed the spool and locked front SAS , things are easier...
Next step is the restoration of this rig, along with the daily driver. All left overs will be going to the full purpose trail rig. Body (seen in these pix) combined with bad frame (1/8" off) and engine trans, transfer case and spare axles will be all into one vehicle
wish me luck
