I just signed up because I am looking for some help with a question or 2. my dad and I are fixing up my bronco 2...bodywork, paint job...I plan on trying to beef up the 2.9 fuel injected engine....but the main thing rite now is I need to know the ins and outs of installing a roof rack capable of holding anything I throw at it. We ripped out the crappy headliner and we plan on putting a new one in it. But before this I'd like to know how to reinforce the flimsy braces that hold up the roof....which used to flex downward at high speeds....I want to keep the interior as close to stock as possible...none of this chopping the roof off or putting in a roll cage...just something to beef up the supports without interfering with putting a new headliner in....
Some history....this truck....I bought it on eBay for 500 bucks....had to put new brakes and a clutch just to get it road worthy. I've had it since I was 15 after I blew the engine in my 77 f150....I love this bronco 2....the only problem we have ever had was the fly wheel ring gear teeth getting stripped by the starter being loose....that 2.9 is almost bulletproof...I have alot of memories in that truck....I want to fix it up and keep it till it rusts to pieces....but I want it to look badass and run like a scalded ape... Thanks for all your help. I'd appreciate any ideas you guys have as well.
