Project Iron Horse November 26, 2008, 10:41:50 PM My newest project is a 86 bronco II. Seeing how I'm going to college soon and going to be driving back and fourth to and from Fort Wayne to Indianapolis on the weekends.... I needed somthing that would get decent mileage and be fun as hell to drive at the same time. Well, I got this from a buddy. It needs a new 2.9L and some brake lines but other than that its a pretty set little toy4wd 4speed with buckets and lockouts. yeah!anybody got a good running 2.9 layin around? ill gladly take it off your hands :D Quote Selected
