Hello everyone. 15 years ago my father purchased this 1974 ford bronco for only $3800.00 We used it for some light four wheeling mainly at browns camp and the sand dunes near Tillamook OR. Four years ago we decided it was time for an upgrade. We started with the idea that some nice new custom bumpers, a new fuel injected engine, and a small suspension lift. We purchased a used 302 out of an 85 TJ. Here are some pictures of the bronco before the great money dump and complete rebuild.
Here are some pictures of the engine rebuild and custom bumpers

here is the new engine. the first one we bought had a crack in the block, so we added a crate motor from an 87 mustang and added a small aircompressor mod hooked to the airconditioner.

Sweet rig! Lets see some overall pictures!!
Sort off topic, but I saw a yellow FJ the other day, who polished the heck out of his factory white wheels and that set it apart for all the others.
