Thread: Project Lost Cause 2

Was building a 89 bronco 2 but after working on it for so long I finally realized the wheel base blows so I bought this today for $400.

Plans are to build some beams from either the stock ones or F100, 3 link with my 9in, back halved, fully caged, with my chevy 350 as the power plant.

This is how I bought it


And here's what it looks like when I find a hammer and Jake finds my tools



Spent all my money buying this so I can only do what I can for free so I started cage prepping

sell the engine out of it for DOM moneys!

are you gonna remove the body lift?

Yup, pulling the motor and selling it. 2" 120 wall DOM is expensive

Yea body lift is probably coming off today if it doesn't rain.

why not just use the beams you had for the bronco II?

They are to wide and I dont want to make another rad arm mount like I had to on the B2

Probably going to just cut out all the sheet metal.


Whats the best way to get the windshield out?

When you go to remove the body lift remove the stock bushings and then put the spacer blocks back in for a quick and free solid cab mounts. Just one more step towards in stalling the roll cage and for the right price.

Never thought about that but I think the body mounts are going to get cut out because they are in the way of the cage.

I think they might be plastic.

Sheet metal is out

Motor got pulled and same with the body lift. Motor is up for sale, same for the complete front end. Should get pulled in the next couple days.

Subscribed. Hope you have lots of money, building a full cage and linking a truck can cost a fortune depending on who you go to.

I know some slut who works for cheap

Sux you abandoned the BroncoII.

I know it would have been a cool build but I figured if I'm going to dump this much money into it this it better be my dream truck.

shouldve never sold your ranger in the first place

Beams for the win haha.

In the process of building links

Solid man! Looking good

All the sheet metal is out, got newer beard seats, fiberwerx carbon dash with jegs digital gauges, links are fully welded, probably building some d44 beams soon, and now im just saving for a cage.

Those links look pretty nice. Too bad your truck won't!
