Well I might be in the RBV game again, well I guess I still am with the exploder, but I have been toying with the idea lately about getting an older Bronco II or a First gen ranger to have a little fun with. Well I am at my Parents house animal sitting as they are in DC and my Girl is in Vegas with her sorority friends (BTW dial up sucks ) so I took a little cruise through my old hometown and drove passed a 1988 Bronco II for sale. It is in decent shape for a MN car and it has a 5spd. They are asking 750 for it. I am going to test drive it on sunday and I am going to low ball him and see if he takes it. This Rig is going to be just a beater. Something I don't care about that I can have a little fun with. Definatley a Lift and some Cheap mudders and rims, Nothing pretty just tough. It definatly has potential.

Wish me luck.

damn how many cars u have

 

5 this will make 6 but the Cadillac and the roadmaster do not get driven in winter. The Charger has been in my parents shed under a tartp since 2002 waiting on me to get about 10-15K together to restore it. The explorer has been sitting since august as I hate driving it and my Wife drive the expedition (although I have it this weekend)

I drove into town to look at it in the day light. Here are some pics.





I shall Call Him Mini Me! LOL


Best of all it is a 5Spd with non electronic 4x4! Finally Dual Sticks!

Cool paint job on Mini Me! Get it!

Oh man i wish that kinda thing showed up around here

i think it would be awesome... get it

Re: engine size: It's a 2.9

I called the guy and left a message after I got back from league shooting and he has yet to get beack to me. Hopefully I can test drive it after work. I found an 87 Ranger too for $1200. Going to take a look at that also.

i would get new hubs for it!

Warns!

 

Yeah that would be on the list. It has one auto hub and one lockout!

 

REALLY!

LOL

 

couple rattle cans and some big tires and it would be nice.

 

Get some pics. up of that Ranger! How does a 2.9 do on/off-road?

 

from what i hear the 2.9 has more ***** than the 3.0

 

My 88 2.9 5 speed ,would run low 10's in the 1/8, lot's of torque for a small motor.
