This truck is constantly in the building stage. As of Sept. 20th, 2001, I just installed Rough Country front 1.5 inch coils, four new ProComp ES 3000 shocks, and 32x11.5 Cooper mudders on 10x15 black steels. The jump to 32's on 10 inch wheels was a risk, but surprisingly enough, they don't rub. However, I slightly trimmed the rear of the front fender wells. to play it safe off-roading. Also I had a new Flowmaster dual exhaust installed, sounds great with the six cylinder. There are many more plans in the future when money allows. Currently, it is set up enough to enjoy what I like most, slow crawling and exploring. When I was younger, I was into a lot of chrome and show, but as I aged, I realized that chrome rusts, and paint scratches, if you use what you have. Close up you would see scratches from limbs from top to bottom, and front to back. I take this truck many places that most four wheel drives cannot. With the size and turning radius of the Bronco II, I take this thing down 3 and 4 wheeler trails. I used to also like a lot of bright lights across the top of my truck to light up the night, but where I take this thing, they would be ripped off in minutes. In my opinion, the Bronco II not only has the perfect basis for an extreme off-road buildup, but the ability of hard off-roading with minimal modifications.
