Bronco 2?

[LuBowhunter]

Anyone own one? I am looking a 1989 bronco2 4x4 with a 4" suspension lift 2" body, 5 speed, super clean for $2500. Good deal or no? Only flaw is a bad alternator.

Oh yeah 2500$ worth it to keep ya dry and warm going to the blind and 4x4 is a plus...an alt gonna set you back what? 100$?

them slicks it's wearin aint going to do ya any good
My buddy had one many years ago and we took it off rd alot. Seemed to be a good reliable vehicle and I dont believe 2500 is out of the ball park

Ok here is another one I found for sale. This one is even cleaner, with new tires and no mechanical issues. No input on a bronco 2? Out of the two which one do yall like better looks wise? I am leaning towards the tan and black one.

their really tough vehicles, good luck in your search.

Owned an '89 for 5 years back in the early '90s. It was 2WD with the V6. Had no real problems with it that I can remember.

Look it over to see if its in good mechanical shape, engine internal condition, pull a plug or two....the front one's on bank 1 and bank 2 are fairly easy to get to. Good luck.

I like the Black and white one best. Just plain looks like a more professional lift. But mechanical is the most important issue

What motor? The 4.0 was a beast. the 2.9 (i think ) not so much. I think that year has a TTB front end on it.

I owned one back in the early 90's and it was a great vehicle. It was used and abused and took every bit of it. Regret ever getting rid of it.

THose and the rangers are great lease vehicles, even if you get stuck as long as you don't bury it you can usually push them out or at themost pull them out with a 4-wheeler. Of course then there are guys that never get just stuck they got to bury a vehicle. I normally just hand them a shovel.

black and tan one looks like its allot cleaner. I use to work on them when i was with ford. 2.9 is a pretty good motor but the 4.0 has more more power. Never really saw many problems with either engine, intake gasket leaks were all i an really remember. Overall good vehicles. My buddy had one we use to REALLY beat the hell out of and it just kept going.

My buddy has one on his property, we call it Woody. It is a little work horse. Sorry about crappy pic of it, but it is the only one I got

Owned one thru HS and most of College. Will take a lot of abuse. But the 2.9 is a leaky beast as mentioned above. Also I would not buy a automatic with the 2.9.

Thats not a Bronco 2

We had 2 differen ones growing up. Dropped one of them into 2nd going down the interstate at 65. The transmission didn't fall out and the engine didn't blow up. That is about my only experience driving a 2.

Not sure what the price difference is, but if it were my decision the Tan/Black gets my vote. It is cleaner looking, the tread looks 10 times better and if what the owner says about mechanical issues is true then it's a bonus. The lift on the black one looks a little suspect, but it might just be the angle of the pic.
