    Color me impressed!!! Time for a complete overhaul of the BRONCSTAR! Hillbilly pulls his weight around the shop and seems to be a great person, he deserves his vehicle done. With that said, I think that Bronco 2 would make a great off road rig; pretty light and small frame it would even fit the side-by-side trails to take care of those recoveries. And for goodness sakes, overhaul that trailer too! They'll be a killer combo!!! (Hint: get the gang involved (Matt, Paul, Chad, Rory, etc.) for input on the build.🤙

    I'm a real estate appraiser and my Bronco II XLT 5 speed was my best Appraisal vehicle I've ever had.

    What a classic, can't believe how much of a twist the old Broncstar got on it, definitely needs the chassis strengthened.😉

    I say no paint job on the Bronc! The trails were pretty with the autumn colors everywhere!

    When I was a kid (18) I had a Ford ranger.. I had always wanted to get a Branko 2 and swap the Ranger cab onto the B2 and make the bed a supper stubby. 😄

    Those little bronco 2 are great here at Barnwell Mountain. The way their wheelbase is set up they are tough little pigs. Give that thing some Bilsteins some 38.45” on 6” lift setting. A tune up. 💪🏼🤘🏼👊🏼
