Bronco II gets gutted. Headliner recovery how to and I find a hidden surprise under the carpet.

- The last few videos have been focused on getting the Bronco II running and driving well. Now its time we turn attention to the nasty interior. Plagued with water leaks and years of crud, once the carpet started sprouting mushrooms it was time to get serious.
This is one channel that involves restoring cars I could actually afford, which I like a lot.
Awesome!!!!!!
exactly
Shit..I still couldn't afford a bronco lmao
Thanks for the “real world” content Josh. I enjoy your videos. Don’t knock yourself you are a natural - you will get more relaxed and comfortable with experience. You already have a leg up on 90% of other RUclipsrs as you actually know what you are talking about…
Congrats on getting monetized! I like the Ranger and Bronco projects. Keep up the great work!
Love your intro. Speaking of introductions. Put your intro Tire, Rooster, and Wrenches small on the middle or left front of the shirt. On the back "The Fractured Rooster Garage" and I'll be one of the first to place an order.
I came over from JR but I certainly like your more down to earth budget friendly builds and restorations. Your stuff motivates me to get out there and mess with something.
yeah not everyone has a shop, tons of tools and tons of friends to help out with insane builds...
most poeple have a driveway and a few ratchets.
"I have a sketchy idea"... lol.. sounds like T-shirt gold right there.
I said floor jack and a 2x4 out loud then had to laugh when it happened , looks good man nice work !👍👌
Josh, don't forget to ask for your %10 discount at the parts stores.
Thanks for the content Josh! Perhaps more Ranger stuff coming too? Love the malaise era /80s/90s car & trucks! Cheers from 🇨🇦!
Yessir, in route
As with most other, I have always thought you should have your own channel with the knowledge you have. As soon as I found out you have started your own channel, I subscribed and have watched you worked out the kinks in the first few. Quality of video (audio?) is surely improving and there is good amount of content in each. Great job and please keep it up! And congratulations on being monetized.
BTW, probably a good idea to wear some form of a mask so the glue won't stick to your lungs.... 😂
He said the magic words of doom "what's the worst that can happen". I will pray for you now.
Cool project!, you’ve been a great mate to JR. Particularly when he went full RUclips - hats off to you. & well done. Cheers from New Zealand 🤙🤙🤙
Should Dynamat it before the carpet install. Swap the glass with the Ranger if its better..
I AGREE... BUT THEN AGAIN THIS VIDEO MIGHT BE WEEKS OLD AND HE MIGHT BE DONE WITH IT...
Yeah at least some dynamat oh the large sheet metal will help.
Don't use Dynamat, it's too expensive, Use B-Quiet, same basic stuff but sold wholesale for aeronautic industry and way cheaper to buy bulk. I'm not a sponsor, just been using them for years... www.b-quiet.com/collections/all-sound-deadening-and-sound-dampening
I'm like you. I feel compelled to first clean the crud before working on my vehicles.
The best thing on the channel is the fact, that you actually repair things instead of buying new stuff! Everybody can do that. It is quite character-building, and it is a healthy attitude! Thank you!
I grew up farm poor in western KS. Our parts store was a salvage yard of cars you kept on the back 40.
thank god those back side windows werent leakin i hear they are a pain
When said hidden surprise under the carpet, I was oooh me like surprises, maybe some more mushrooms! It turned out to be rust, me no likey that surprise.
I have a 1984 bronco 2 that I'm just beginning to restore. This video was so helpful. Thank you!
I really like those Bronco IIs. That's a nice little truck. Had an '86 Eddie Bauer 4x4 for my kid's first car.
I had one also, an '87 or '88 I think. Bought it used and I think Ford and an issue with paint and it faded real bad and got white streaks on the hood. I really liked it though. Did t look like it but it had a buttload of room when you put down the back seats. I wish I still had it
josh i live a few houses down from you but my mom won't let me help you cuz i'm a kid, hopefully when i get older i can help you build cars thx
Its always good to learn car repair
Hopefully you get to wrench in the future.
always nice to hear about kids that Want to Work...love the enthusiasm
Come on Josh, another gearhead in the making, go talk to his mom....👍
Contrary to popular belief being "a kid" does not disqualify you from learning new skills and the responsibility that goes with them. Look forward to all the knowledge you can, it will serve your future.
love the bit about holding the razor blade in mouth! it deffinately helps!
You say you're stressed, but you come across as easy going and relaxed.
Working on project close to my heart (88Bronco II is what I have) and you are not afraid to try fixes your self
Congrats!!!!!
Ford Is Running A New Bronco Ad During Your Show!!!
I followed you from JRGo !!!! Keep up the great work!
Great job on the headliner
Everytime that Jack handle hit that rear hatch I cringed waiting to hear the window shatter. So glad it didn't!! Thanks for sharing your projects.
yeah i was cringing every time hoping for the best
My first restore I did was the headliner in my 1989 Ford F150. It is a very satisfying restoration. It lead to me doing my sun visors, which were way more difficult, which turned out pretty good. I am now working on my 1981 VW Rabbit which has a sagging cross beam. I'm glad I watched this first before just sending my headliner.
those little Broncos and Rangers are so fun to drive, they're so small and light, especially fun if they are a stick shift
I came from WJRGo and your doing great. Have enjoyed the ranger and this project!
This was pretty neat, and I think the term you were looking for is "the bigger the glob, the better the job"!
Great projects and congratulations on your RUclips success.
Hey battle, thanks for your service.
Its a blessing this thing ended up in your hands. Love seeing these old gems restored. Less waste, nice wheels for someone. Win win for everyone.
I love these old Fords. Keep it up.
The satisfied chuckle when you flipped the completed headliner the last time was awesome. Nice fix🤠
My mantra with adhesive is...The bigger the gob, the better the job! 👌🏼🤣
Love the channel Josh can’t wait to watch you take off....
You know I love your doing this on the cheap… Some channels just get carried away because they have the money they can throw at things
Love the content
Nice job on the headliner, I thought it was beyond hope. You will be glad you got the new glass.
I rebuilt an 88 Bronco 2 from the ground up back in 2000. I had a silver one and bought a black one for the engine for the silver one. I ended up selling everything when I found out I had kidney Cancer. Ended up with no more cancer but chronic pain problem. Sold my boat and snowmobiles as well.
I enjoy this channel as I enjoy WatchJRGo and your content is getting better.
Nice video love that Bronco keep it up, enjoy seeing you make it on your own
I kept my old 1986 Ford Bronco lol… wife doesn’t know I still have it, hasn’t run in about 15 years! One of my retirement projects. Thanks s much for your videos Josh! There’s hope!
You are so awesome Josh.👍🏻👍🏻
Great video. Gives me a bit of inspiration on my old FSJ cherokee... Cheers from Miami.
The headliner drill scrub could easily be on one of those "Oddly Satisfying" videos. Loving the channel, congrats on the monetization, well deserved!
For what's damaged in that pan, I'd make a small patch in the front and weld the rear split back together. It's not going to be show car quality, but fine for a daily driver. Plus the $ 100+ and labor savings.
Favorite build on RUclips right now.
Dude I love this channel. I learn something new every video.
Keep your head down and keep plowing straight ahead
Great video!! Wicked smart you are, testing the front of the Bronco for water penetration into the cabin. My F150 is doing the same thing! Ugh! I suggest trying glass polish on the drivers side window before replacement. My assumption is other B/II side windows are scratched also. Practice makes perfect--it is kind of odd talking to a camera-but in time you'll think about it less. I just got done replacing the rear fuel tank pump/sending unit on my 89 F150. Removing the rear tank was easy--putting it back in---- a royal PIA !!!!!!!!!!! The factory pump was no longer working. I also replaced the main frame mounted pump as that was starting to fail-- low rpm on the electric pump motor. What you had to work with-- Fords cheapee design headliner pad-- you did a good job fixing it and then applying the headliner. Oh yeah my roof supports have broken away from the roof skin also!
Good to see ya had your own channel in the making too. Came over from JRGO, subbed and look forward to your videos. All the best
My uncle would get thins strips of balsa wood or pine and varnish them or paint them, then glue them to the roof, then tack or glue the headliner fabric to the wood. It functioned as sound deadening and gave a cool ribbed appearance. But he takes classics and makes them fancier. Makes good money at it too if you ever want to try it.
Keep it up, I may get inspired to fix up an ole beater yet.
You are doing it right by fixing all of those items, the finish makes all worth it. Looks good.
That wasn't sketchy at all. Well maybe a little. I think I would've just used 2x4s to the floor but the floor jack was effective. I'm glad you got monotized.
Great job Josh,you do solid work brother
Love the Bronco II content.
Enjoying your vlogs Josh! Keep it up. And way to go on getting monetized!!!
I always keep a few scraps of wood around, one came in handy just a few days ago on a project bike. Awesome work on the videos!
Great content liked you when u a Jr was working a the Rolls-Royce!!
The Rolls is coming to my channel soon!
@@TheFracturedRooster Still think you guys should consider an S550 IRS swap for the Rolls, it'd probably require less floor pan clearancing than the solid axle swap and just be 4 subframe mounts to fab up.
Great content glad I subscribed nice to see you working on your project
new favorite channel, thank you for putting these out. Cant be easy with a real life- I appreciate it.
I watched you work with JR on his channel and was waiting for your appearence on youtube! Good luck on your projects! PS I love the Bronco, even if I can't have it in my country :
Absolutely loving this series, Josh - great job!
And *_that_* kids is why they teach you in Chemistry lab in High School to use your hands to wave the air above the open mouth of a jar full of unknown checicals towards you to get a whiff, instead of sticking your nose into the jar. 😆
I believe it’s called Wafting!
I had the same cracking issue with my 86 Fiero headliner board. Those are fiberglass though. The recommended fix for them is to patch the cracks with spray adhesive and pieces of cereal box on the back. Worked pretty well. Congrats on the channel!
Love these trucks.. I had two over the years. I wish I could find a decent one to restore.
A just found you tonight from a youtube suggestion so more to the monetize than figured. Wish any new person to the success that they are striving for. I usually watch Puddin fab shop or halfass kustoms, and everyone watches coldwar motors for one of the finest body fender paint and just plain good entertainment. I think that your coming along fine. I would of built my own patch parts for what little problems that you have on that but to each his own. I have soda blasted glass till it shined like new again. Works on headlights as well. so another notch on the list and a like as well
Love the videos. Project cars that anyone can handle, done in the home shop. Keep up the good work!
I was thinking structural adhesive for the roof supports. It's so strong I've actually done floor pan replacement with it. Nice job on the headliner!
That was exactly my thought. I used it on both roof and floor. Then smeared the squish out over the seams to act as a seam sealer on the floor pan.
I am enjoying the content on the bronco.
Great video! In the process now of performing all this on an 89 BII.
Keep the BII video coming!
Congrats on the monetization and as usual very informative with great tips
A great way to find a leak is to clean all the seals and contact points then put chalk on the seals and see where it doesn't transfer on the contact points.
Keep working at it buddy. Content is getting better all the time!
Man, that headliner turned out awesome 👌
My father's 85 and later, his 89 B2 had the same issue with the weather stripping.
The seal around the windshield isnt the best either and pinholes were common.
The drip rails are supposed to help, but rust makes it a problem later on.
One thing i highly suggest you get, are window deflectors, they help a lot with water and for the smoker's window.
Great job on the headliner! While you have the interior panels out, its the BEST TIME to put in sound dampening foam inside, especially since the back of the B2 can act as a resonance chamber (or subwoofer) for road noise.
I'd rather watch you working on 80's classics in your garage than Jay Leno any day. Great work!
That headliner looks mint. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm halfway through tearing off a quarter panel and it's because of RUclipsrs like you. 👍
Thanks for the everyday man content. There's a lot of us who still just wrench on a tight budget. It's nice to see others do the same. I dont like watching rich people doing rich people stuff.
Check those rear side window seals. I used silicone sealant until i can source the new seals. My 88 BII has the one piece driver and passenger windows, may be from a Ranger. Great video...I remember gutting my BII , advice...put some more insulation in the roof...foam sheets from Lowes. My BII is black and the heat is brutal during the NC summer's. Awesome channel !!!!
Very satisfying video with the headliner cleaning timelapse, and the super genius floor jack + oak for the roof. Excellent work. Congrats on getting monetized!
Wish you more success in future 👍 .
Really enjoying your content from over here in the UK. Projects done to a good standard, but not using "all the money" approach is ideal. Currently working on my 1985 T3 (Vanagon!) at the side of the road, so envious of your garage setup!
Great content man. I love my B2 been slowly restoring it as well!
I cannot overstate how much I'm enjoying watching your channel grow. Keep up the great content!
I watch it all Josh…it’s great! 10K next month, 20k the following month. Your good, hard work and GREAT personality will take care of it - along with all of our help, liking, subscribing and sharing. Love it man, keep it up!
I’ve done a number of headliner restorations on the cheap to 80s GM products. I have to say that adhesive was way more professional than my go to of the 3M headliner or super 77 (whichever is cheaper that day). If it was mine i would just do a patch repair and Chinesium dynamat the roof, floors and rear wheel tubs. SEM makes a interior plastic trim spray that matches the camel Ford beige color pretty well - better than duplicilor version. Also an adhesion promoter is a must for a long lasting and even finish on old plastic.
You certainly know what you're talking about. I ended up going with a dupli-color solely because of the results I had on my last project ford ranger. I've always been an SEM guy myself.
I do have stick on sound deadening and some foil backed jute padding to go back into the truck.
Thanks for the support and advise!
Lovin the channel. What happened to the Trailblazer? Also thanks for putting your automotive journey on the RUclipss - really enjoy watching honest budget car guy stuff. You and JR are relatable as Derek as VGG has gone all Hollywood on us lately….well JR does have the largest shop on all of the RUclips.
Brother I'm glad I came to follow your channel, I really enjoy the vehicles you pick for projects! Not alot of people out there would give them a second thought! I really enjoy this bronco build because I remember we had a 1988 red and white 2 tone like your ranger. But it was a 5 speed instead of an auto, and like your ranger it had that 1980's ford porno red I think you called it interior lol
now you're a headliner expert too. "Healy's and Headliners"
Josh, you need to open up the Fractured Rooster restaurant. Nice fried chicken with an automobile theme. Hell, have a garage there where patrons can see cars being worked on while they dine.. Dyno video monitor while your eating!!
Great job on the way your becoming increasingly comfortable speaking to the camera/viewers. Love the content.
That’s funny, I took my BII to Texas to visit an Army Buddy back around 1999, and that’s exactly what he was saying, he felt like he was riding in Quart Can of Oil, from the roof popping in and out with the wind!
So glad you have your own channel now Josh. You keep it real for all of us garage and backyard mechanics out here!
Great video
Great content! Thanks for starting the channel! JR is great but he’s so fancy now it’s not as relatable 🤣
Me: A jack and a 2x4 would be a good clamp
You: I think I have a sketchy idea
Me: 😂😂
The sketchy jack trick! Used that to get my shed walls plumb by jacking up the apex haha
