Hello all. I traded my 93 YJ Wrangler for a 1986 Bronco Eddie B. 302 automatic. I have been working on it non stop since I got it. I will get a picture up for everyone tomorrow when I have light and have actually taken the time to put batteries in the camera. It is flat black with dk. blue accents. Kind of my own take off a Mach 1 I saw in a Yahoo search. So far I have not really done a lot I don't think but I have a lot of plans. I replaced the tires as the old ones were 10 years old, no tread. It now has 33x12.50 15 BFG A/T KO. Have done a complete tune up including building a cowl induction air intake using the stock box with a K&N box filter. I have cut the fenders down and trimmed the wheel well plastic for more room. I played with the timing today and it has a lot more pick up than it did when I got it. It has front tow hooks and a receiver hook. It has a lot of things to work on and keep me busy so it should be fun. I have already had more fun with it than I ever did the Jeep and I know the 302 has a lot of options for increasing performance and the exles are a lot more sturdy as well.
My only current troubles are finding information on the truck. Stock perfomance (HP & Torque) Info on the stock weight, the axle set ups, I just want to know everything I can about the truck stock so I know where I can take it. The Haynes book was not much help, it tells some options but no specifics on things I want to know. I am also looking for a good source for aftermarket items. I have been told Broncograveyard is a good place. While I will admit they have a lot to offer, I will also admit that I think their prices are out of proportion. $700 for a new winch bumper is a tad
much. Have also seen other things that I think are overpriced from them but that is another matter. Anyway, here I am, hello again and I will be around.
EDIT: for pics
