V8 SAS Bronco2 walk around

[@memorris2]

My dad and i built a v8 bronco2 back in the late 90s! It was the best trail rig ever! Was just on 33s, the first year the procomp mts came out! Love that james duff is still the go to for bronco and ranger kits and parts!

Very nice I’m super jealous I have a 84 b2 xls striped off all the plastic body parts cleaned up all the rust everything else all stock

Good job one badass little Bronco2

[@randumadventures]

Thank you much!

Thank you for the videos. I have a very clean 87 Eddy Bauer all original. After 33 Years took the first step with a 4 inch lift. But would like to take it to a real off roader. Thanks for paving the way. Scott KS

I have an '86 Bronco 2 myself, been thinking about putting some work into it so I'm happy to know that there are directions I can go with it. Great video, keep it up!

[@Redrockcab]

Really clean and sick build. I really love that gauge cluster panel. Would love to see more b2's like this.

[@randumadventures]

My buddies and I are tryin our best to bring as much B2 content as we can

[@bradleathal6699]

Dude, Gilligan is an awesome 4x4! I have a stock '86 Bronco II, and have been dreaming about swapping the 5.0 from my '99 Explorer AWD, I own both, and both run at this time, so I am reluctant to disable both at the same time, your videos are encouraging and informative. Thank you for both! Your choices on mods are exactly the ones I would have chosen after much thought and research. Keep on wheelin'!!!

[@dominikspencer3981]

The 5.0 engines go for quite cheap. I used to see them at pick n pull for 200...

[@ridingwiththereids]

You have one of the nicest looking B2's I've seen. When it comes to the paint job, yeah I've seen a couple that their paint job alone costs more than you're entire build. But you had something else in mind. Paint it to look badass, but you also didn't build it for car/truck shows. You actually use your lifted, big tired, V8, SAS swapped B2 for its intended purpose. Off-road. And the $ you saved by not spending $20k on a paint job allowed you to spend that $ to things that actually matter. Badass build man. I hope @ 4+ years later it's still going strong 👍

[@randumadventures]

Sadly I have moved on from the B2 and built something even better and more unique. Check out the main page to my channel and check out my replacement!

[@RiversideExplorer]

Stumbled across this beautiful bronco.. wow this is my favorite truck of all time! Nice build.

[@ChampWorksGarage]

Awesome video! Love seeing SAS and V8 swapped B2s! Keep up the videos

[@darthbuster]

see you on facebook and have been following your channel. Always wondered why you named it "Gilligan". Love the story behind that. Perfect name. Amazing rig.

[@randumadventures]

James Tyree goofy name I know but it just fit to perfect. Truck still has its “ resident pass” for the island ferry on the windshield and keys came on a Put-n-Bay key ring. It’s more like it name itself !

Beautiful truck. I am a jeeper. Cj and TJ. But came really close a couple times of buying a b2. Awesome job.

Nice job Brian the paint scheme looks good!My daily driver for the past 10 years is a 1990 Bronco II 5 Speed 2.9. Has 230,000 and still runs like a Champ.Did the 1990 Ford Mustang GT seats bolt up ok to the stock Bronco rails or did you have to modify them?My drivers Seat needs new padding and recovered or used Seats like you now have they looked really good in your Bronco!This is my second Bronco II I love the way they drive and handle.

[@randumadventures]

Mike James the mustang seats bolt right to the tracks , but in an older vid I show how I swapped the passenger seat recliner hinge so it works like it should for the B2

[@jonbonbroski8585]

Hey there! Nice video! I have an 86 bronco 2. I’m building it to be an overlanding rig within a year. I plan on doing quite a few mods to it with engine swap, live axle, 35s etc. Currently as she sits with stock tires she feels top heavy. Do you feel that your lift and 35s are a stable ride or do you still feel some of the top heaviness? If so, any tips to help prevent that? I may have some more questions later on, thanks!

[@randumadventures]

Well it definitely doesn’t feel like a corvette going down the road! It’s a lifted truck on big tires and soft suspension so it’s going to feel weird no matter what you do. Mine doesn’t bother me at all. If your concerned just make sure to retain the factory sway bars or add an aftermarket one like a AntiRock

[@jarredfloyd8943]

[@edjackson4389]

Nice build man!! Love the round headlamps, overall look is great. I've never been into giving vehicles goofy names though. Kinda ruins the badass vibe of the whole project. That's just my useless opinion

[@randumadventures]

Thank you! The name started as a joke but kinda took on a life of its own now.

[@vonnsnyder2481]

I can't remember which high pressure power steering line you used with the explorer pump. Is it a stock line out of another year?

[@randumadventures]

It’s mentioned in one of my early build vids but I believe it’s for a 91 Ranger 4.0 and you just need to straighten out the bends.

[@jakegreen8074]

Do you think it's worth it to drop a SOHC 4.0 in a bronco 2 vs doing the 302? they have the same HP so the ease of the v6 just seems more logical to me, just wanna hear your thoughts on it

[@randumadventures]

Jake Green to me no. The known issues with that motor and lack of torque compared to a 5.0 is reason enough for me to not consider it. Plus I’d rather get away from that family of V6 transmissions

[@jakegreen8074]

Gotcha, thanks! I'm just trying to figure out what swap to do eventually, as I'm a poor post college kid looking to budget for finally treating my 89 right

[@randumadventures]

Jake Green then I’d start getting a parts list together and start keeping an eye open for those deals when they pop up and be ready to jump.

[@erikturner8687]

Brian, what’s the purpose of the pellets in the tires?

[@randumadventures]

Erik Turner to balance the tires. Don’t use wheel weights on a true off road truck because they can get knocked off and any mud ,stones or snow that get stuck in the wheel or tire will throw it out of balance. With pellets they will self balance indefinitely

[@blazewomack9197]

I just bought a 1985 and trying to get a idea of wheels and tires for it... what do you have in mind ?

[@randumadventures]

Blaze Womack hard to answer that one. Is it stock? Lifted? Staying on street? Off roading?

[@blazewomack9197]

Randum Adventures With Brian it is stock but I’m wanting to build it for it to be off road but still drive it around my local town

[@randumadventures]

Blaze Womack tire size will depend on if you lift it and if you re-gear it. Type of tire really comes down to the type of driving you do. I like the BFG KM2 on my truck since it’s mostly off road in extreme conditions.

[@randumadventures]

Donnie Brookins they are a company that rebuilds and upgrades the factory steering boxes

[@kilowatttheorignal]

What are tire pellets for?

[@randumadventures]

They keep the tires balanced. If there is mud,snow or ice in the wheels the pellets will still keep them in balance. Also with the tires aired down you run the risk of popping the tire off the rim and may have to remount a tire trail side and chances of getting the tire matched up with where it was for the wheel weights will be impossible
