From: Portland, OR, U.S.A.        (Other vehicles in OR)
Car & Truck: 1985 Ford Bronco        (Other Ford Broncos)
Clubs: SuperFord.org        (Other vehicles in this club)
Nickname: Thing 1
Mileage: 98000
Engine: 302 (5.0 EFI)
MSD-6 OffRoad Ignition and Coil
Custom K&N Intake and filter
New wires (8.8mm) and plugs
New cap and Rotor
All new smog equipment
All new filters (gas)
New front and rear fuel pumps

New Excide spiral wrap battery (old one was a deep cycle with a crack in it)
Lots of work with the vacuum system (lots missing and lots just mis-routed)
4 inch tach
Flowmaster Muffler
Hi Flow cat


Drivetrain: 4-Speed w/ granny first
Dana 44 IFS front end
Ford 9" rear (soon to have a locker)
Warn Premium Hubs (drivers side was grenaded)
2" lift in the front (Rough Country springs and @ RS5000 shocks stock dual shock setup)
2.5" blocks (ProComp) in the rear with ProComp springs
Removed the rear sway bar (one mount was broken for it anyway).
Installed ProComp Steering stabilizer
Installed a locker in the Ford 9" rear.

Notes: I got the Bronco with a trade for a laptop from another trade from something that I got for free. I paid for it in the end though. It needed MUCH work, including, full smog system so I could license it, stereo, fuel pumps (yes two, what a pain), new wheels and tired (swampers of course). Now it has also had added a huge winch bumper, a secondary battery, isolator, Painless Wiring seperate circut for accessories, It has 3 sets of offroad lights (KC competition), HiLift Jack mounted inside, CB (Cobra), 102" whip antenna, full gagues (sunpro in a custom mount into the dash), and more that I'm sure I missed here. Soon to come will be either a lift or a solid front axle conversion. Dunno, have to debate and decide on that one.

Update: I isntalled a 2" lift, all new shocks (6 of em), steering stabilizer, and a locker in the 9" rear end. ALong with finishing the high power Alternator (140 amp) project, and completing the dual battery setup (one in the rear)
