    lets say you got a ford bronco, its got solid axel 4x4, and a 302 v8 in it.
    Now you can either...

    1- keep it as a project, beat it up, mudd it, whatever.

    2- put ths suspension and drivetrain under a toyota pickup body..


    just curious what would you do ??? My friends mom gave me her 81 bronco a while back, Ive yet to pick it up.. it is a cool ass truck but I think it would be even cooler as a yota.. like a 79 to 83 or 89 to 95...

    Is it a full size Bronco or Bronco II? I'm assuming its a fullsize. wouldn't the axles be a bit too wide for a Toyota mini? :shrug: Just my thought

    But that 302 would look sweet in your Yota! :bowdown:

    In Hawaii alot of guys run fullsize axles under yotas. They stick out a ridiculous amount but to me looks sik. But I say option 3 work on your yota

    But don't you have the Titan for having 4 wheelin fun? You could beat the crap out of the Bronco though.

    Or you could take the Bronco, fix up what ever needs fixing. Sell it and bag the Yota.

    I had an 86 Bronco

    Killer 4wd truck; great traction, good gas mileage, went forever on that 35 gallon tank. Easy to work on. Had 33s and a baby lift. I6 5 speed.

    I used to go on steep gravel creek beds in that thing in the mountains in 2wd.

    Was a rust bucket tho, and finally lost compression at 600 something thousand miles.


    But a v8 early model. :shrug: I guess who doesnt need another money pit.:lol:

    Solid axle? You might wanna look again it came factory with TTB which was the result of an ifs front end and a solid axle bumping uglies. They tried to abort it but it was too far along so it survived the procedure to become the most funkmonkey suspension in history.

    Keep the bronco as is and sell it to put money in other things that are far more important.
