[swampthing]

been a while since i have posted on here or done anything with my truck for that matter...had a lot going on had no time but im getting back into it with a vengeance and from a totally different perspective and i know some/most of you will probably hate the idea...im gonna be converting my bronco over to 2wd and turning it into a street/strip truck...im only doing it cause im bored and its different...what are your thoughts on it and dont hold back

Hey Swampthing,

You said be honest in the answer, so my thoughts on the matter is leave it a 4x4 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> ! In my opinion of course, a Bronco just doesn't seem right if it isn't 4x4. No disrespect meant to anyone with a 2wd Bronco, just expressing my preference. Ultimately, it's your truck and your call. Best of luck with whatever you chose to do!

ive had a lot of people tell me the same thing and i give the same reply everything with this question...when is the last time you saw a 2wd bronco? just saying...i like to mix things up a bit...

OMG..!!!

Never ask for honesty....... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

But., I say -- leave your truck alone., get a Nash Metropolitan & stuff a Chrysler 440 in it..!!!

You might survive with this, & maybe even win a race.

Best of all., not as likely to hirt someone on the street...just say'n h34r: /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> [-X

IMO honesty is the best policy..and i know i wont hurt anyone im good under pressure haha..like i said im looking to do something different i love the wheelin scene but everything has been shut down around here i figure i have a muscle truck why not turn some heads with it...and who knows maybe i will impress the people that think my idea is out there..everyone has their own opinion i just love a good debate

I kind of like the idea.....With everybody raising their rides, I have been wanting to lower my Beast for some time.

I have been letting the thought of converting to 2wd creep into my brain too.

 

[swampthing]

ive thought about it a lot...im not lowering it significantly...around 3 inches 4 at most i want enough i can get over roll cage easily and comfortably tuck some pizza cutters and slicks...also forgot to mention its gonna be more so a pick up when im done...im building a full wall behind driver seat with the cage going through it and a lexan window...gonna be fitting fuel cell in the back along with bracing and a sheet metal cover to go over everything...removing inner fender skirts gonna make everything sheet metal and squared off...they are the definites...POSSIBLY going to tie my whole front clip together and make it a full tilt front end...and also have been kicking the whole gasser idea around just not sure on that one yet

If memory serves right, didn't BII's come in 2wd?

 

[swampthing]

i know i read somewhere before that ford did put out a very limited number of 2wd broncos i believe it was less than 100...and pretty sure they did it around the time of the midnight edition. i personally have never seen on in person and with 24 years of being at car shows truck shows auto conventions swap meets and countless race tracks i just gotta do it

 

[swampthing]

well im either gonna run twin i beam set up out of 78 79 ford f150...or get risky and take a dana 44 solid axle remove the whole center section pumpkin unit and replace that with a tube and weld everything solid...just need to figure out which way i want to go...took the engine out today and ripped out 90% of wiring..dash is back out its stripped again..will post some pics shortly
