Chris you have a surprising amount of knowledge and know how, I'm amazed at the pressurized fire extinguisher fuel pump, you work on whatever pleases you and I'll be pleased to watch it 👍☮️
Brings back memories. I owned 3 of these back in the day. The first one I owned got stolen 3 days into my truck driving school so I went contacted the news to try and get it back. At the same time my daughter had cancer and unfortunately we lost her when she was just 4 years old. So another student was kind enough to take me back and forth to school till I could figure out some other means of transportation which there was none. So a few days later, after the news of my truck was stolen. I got a call from the news station saying someone wanted to give me a call. I agreed and live on TV, I accepted a Saturn SL1. I don't remember the year. But I never got my truck back. I finish my trade school, gave the car to my wife at the time so she had a car and a year later, my wife left me and took the car and the kids. So this style truck will always have a place in my heart. Mine was an 86 though. Gutless, 0 to 60 in two weeks.
Don't know if I've said it before, but, I'm very happy and highly impressed how you handle your trash. You're very environmentally conscious. I applaud that. With how much you enjoy where you live it's awesome to see a responsible person doing cool things...
Gus is a real cutie! My grandfather had a Dachshund and would take him into the stables and he'd overend a feed barrel that was half full of grain and the mice would come scurrying out, sometimes a rat would too. Man, that little dog instantly shifted into another gear and would rip right into those rodents tearing them to pieces!! If was a riot watching that little guy go!! You're quite the tinkerer with these broken down vehicles. It's a joy to watch.
I think they were bred in Germany to hunt sewer rats because of their short legs and strong jaws!! In New York at night 🐀 exterminators get paid by the city to keep them at a minimum. The Dachshund is their favorite!! They have to muzzle them or they will eat them!! There is at least one video about them. They have boundless energy and live to hunt!! They play with the kids in the daylight and become hunting machines at night!
I'm ADDICTED TO YOUR CHANNEL! I never realized how much I loved old cars until I started watching and now I can't stop! I love how you explain everything you are doing and why, and my all-time favorite part ...listening to it start for the first time! I wish you were closer, I'd have you diagnose my 98 Ford Expedition . It runs but needs some help...I live in a dinky little Kansas town...thanks for the education & entertainment!!!
32:01 ford used 2 fuel pumps on those, a low pressure lift pump in the tank, and a high pressure pump in the frame. That cartridge looking thing, sometimes it did have a cartridge fuel filter, and sometimes it was empty, ford used it as a diverter valve for trucks with dual tanks. Most times the filter was further up the frame and was a metal canister filter with the plastic line connectors
Simply AWESOME!! This was the first SUV I ever owned back in the early 1990 ( I had an 1986 with the 2.9 liter) I put a 2 inch body lift and it had super swappers tires. Loved my bronco II. Literally drove it till the wheels fell off
The fire extinguisher fuel pump was insanely ingenious man. People don't realize the quality of this channel. You'll be 1mil subs within a year or two at this rate. Well done.
Yep, the 86-88 bronco II had a low pressure pump in the tank and a high pressure pump on the frame rail. In 89 they switched over to just one high pressure in tank pump. I owned both an 88 and 89. I drove the 88 from Las Vegas to Illinois and back without any issues. It was actually great off road, especially on tight switch backs due to the short wheel base. Always enjoy your videos!
As mentioned already, seeing Gus as a puppy is beautiful. It’s amazing watching these older videos and seeing how shy he was as a baby and now he’s a complete wild man running all over the place and watching him try and play with Turbo but Turbo doesn’t seem to want any of it lol😄❤️ It’s been so long I didn’t remember most of the content in this video. Almost like watching a new video😊👍
Gus is a good looker my wife and I a 8 year old blonde and tan weaner dog rescue that was about his age when we got her , she is a home protector don’t like folks even walking down the street near her house !
I know this is an old video and Im not sure you will see this but I have spent the better part of the last few weeks watching a ton of your videos. This is easily my new favorite channel, you are a good dude. I don't need to know you in person to recognize that, thank you for being you my guy. Also I love seeing Jen and you interact you are a great couple from what I see, and GUS MAN, is my favorite. I just grabbed a T-shirt from the site, keep up the awesome job and maybe make a Gus T-Shirt- him in the Wrecker or something cool pretending to drive.
Can't thank you enough for checking out all the videos and extra thanks for ordering a shirt man! Unfortunately this bronco ended up getting part of that by the new owner. But sometimes that's just what makes more sense. Again thanks for viewing and appreciate the kind words!
Those 'STARS' that are painted add-ons look like the work of a man near Hazleton named Craig Wallen, He used to call them 'daggers'. Also, he would mark his work somewhere on the paint with his initials. Love your channel.
I'VE GOT TO GUS BEEN INTRODUCED 😂wow, been watching a lot of the more latest videos and just started watching older ones to catch up. Love your videos Chris and Jen
Hope you get the Title was looking forward to It Rolling down the Road My Mom and Dad had one and several other Friends they all loved their Bronco 11s. Good 🌄 Luck
THIS IS IN MY VIEW THE MOST LEGENDARY CAR. I ALSO BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MYSELF LAST YEAR AND RIDED 3000 KILOMETERS WITHOUT A BREAKDOWN ON IT. SORRY IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND PARTS. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR PROJECT.
We had a 1990 bronco Lloyd 4x2 5 speed manual 2.9 V6. It was the freaking Best! We owned it for 15 years, put over 350k and it didn't miss a beat. In all those years and miles only changed the water pump, clutch and routine rake maintenance, what a Champ. Sold it in perfect running condition and bought an Explorer Sport 5 Speed, should've kept the Bronco ll
I've had many many cars in my 50 years of driving, but my 84 Bronco II is one of maybe 4 cars I still miss. It was a base unit with a four speed, but I loved that thing. If it had 50 more HP it would have been perfect.
Just picked up an 84 bronco 2 4x4 with the 4 speed with zero rust for 300 just have to get it running might put an holly sniper and get that extra 50 hp and better throttle response
@@kawaiiplayz8045 The 2.8 runs well if the Autolite carb is rebuilt (easy). The later 2.9 was EFI (my dad had one) and had a bit more oomph. I'm thinking a **small** blower on the 2.8 would really wake it up. BTW, the 4 speed is a Toyo Kogyo box and isn't very stout. I managed to kill one pulling a big Olds in low range.
I watched this because I recognised the Bronco II as like one my dad had. He was a rural route postman in MN. His was automatic. He'd sit in the middle and gas & brake with his left foot so he could reach the mail boxes on the right side of the road.
I had totally forgotten the Bronco Ii existed. We had one when I was a kid. I think, an 87 just like this one. But dark blue with blue interior. Thanks for helping me remember that memory.
I had a 91 and put a turbo on it. that little 2.9 was a screamer. my buddy had a 80s f150 with a 460 and would get mad when i would blow his door off with the little bronco.
The kid in me said light the whole pan on fire. Then when you went to do it I laughed hard. Then u was sad when you didn't. I guess we all grow up sometime!
I was going to say it had a second pump but I was sure you were gping to find out so I waited but yes the tank is a lift pump and the inline is the high pressure to provide 44psi i think it is. In 1989 Ford went to a single in tank fuel pump.
My old cocker spaniel was mighty noble! His name was Blazer! Lol. Named after the ‘02 trailblazer I drove to pick him up. Miss that lil guy. 15.5 years of being my best friend. He was always there for me.
I had a 1987 bronco that I loved and it had fuel problems, after a few minutes of running it would just quit someone before me had put an aftermarket computer in it and we never could figure out the wiring to get it to quit acting up so I’m very reluctantly sold it to a neighbor but I drove it back And forth to work at 120 miles a day for four years before it started acting like that. Still one of my favorite vehicles I’ve ever owned
Oh that Lil dawg ! Man, I've owned 5 of those before..4:56 gears in one with 35's..chopped top another with a 302 conversion and 37's on another..very capable little 4x4's..
Chris, I think that gauge cluster is out of a 69-70 mustang. I've owned enough of them brother. Sweet bronco by the way. Gus is a little heartbreaker. Jen is looking stunning as usual!! Simply love your channel. Semper Fi brother
I recently restored an 1990 BRONCO II that had been setting for eight years. I had to let the pistons soak with break free and kroal oil. Then the head gasket was leaking from setting so long. I’m running it now with gasket sealer in a can until I can do a 4.0 swap. It took me two straight months working nights to get it back on the road.
I purchased a Bronco II in 1989 and it was a great vehicle for the 14 years I had it. It had the 2.9L, 5 speed manual and 4x4. Never an issue of any kind. You never see them around anymore.
My first truck was a 1988 ranger 4x4 and was the best truck I've ever owned. Been sitting for a few years on a ranch. Threw a fuel pump and starter and drove it as is for 3 years.
My Uncle & my mom used to own Ford Bronco II. Then later on my mom used to own a 1986 & 1992 Ford Ranger XLT Pickup truck. The 1986 Ford Ranger had a Mustang v8 motor in it.
That’s awesome. I’ve got an 87 that I got running last summer and I redid the entire fuel system like you. When I dropped the tank there were actually holes in it from corrosion
I picked up a 1984 Bronco II in similar shape. It had the 2.8L V6. Converted it to duraspark and got it going again. It smokes and is low on power….but is fun around town.
The trick with getting cars with no title back on the road is knowing someone who will go and do a mechanics lean for you I’ve done that a few times now, it’s not a fast process but it gives you the paper you need to get the car back on the road again, and it’s always worth it if you have the option.
Cool video..love the old vehicles that junkyard has...I ve been there many times myself to get parts for my 3rd gen Trans am..He's got alot of goodies in there just rusting away.... always enjoy your content...👍👍👍
Chris I'll be 40 next week and when I was a kid (like 4 and 5 years old) I lived in Allentown, PA and I would walk down the street to Haldemann Ford and I would sit in the new cars in the showroom and pretend to drive. My favorite vehicle to sit in was the new Bronco IIs (around 1987/88). Watching this video makes me feel old. My first car was a 1994 Eddie Bauer Explorer and it reminded me of those older Broncos and Rangers. I had a 1995 Ranger, but that was after they redesigned them. I have ALWAYS wanted one of the mid to late 80s Ranger GTs in either white or silver with the ground effects and the bullet hole wheels. I have also always wanted to own a late 80s/early 90s Escort GT with the 1.9 and the 5 speed manual (the one with the ground effects also).
Uncle Tony showed how to get a Vermont title. You don't have to be a resident and as long as the vehicle isn't stolen or salvaged its good. Then transfer to your state.
I once own three of those awesome Bronco 2's,last one was 1988 standard.She started life as a auto,coughed her guts,and we install a standard transmission. Since then it's been explorer's and escapes, great video again, more fun. Ps working on rusty fords,Ford spray, cxc51a,have great Wednesday. 🇨🇦.
these types of videos are the best, I hope you're able to sell/offload these vehicles so you can keep doing this type of thing - edit: oh man! I saw Gus on instagram, what a cute pup!
Man I always loved those little broncos! My nephew and my niece had one! Now they wish they still have them!😂 they where great trucks! They used to perform very well on the off road trails! Great job man!!👌😎👍she sounds sweet!
if you do change your mind and switch out the clutch, do the tanks and pumps, you will be surprised at what she sells for - the value on the b2's has taken off like a shot in the last couple years
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow Can a new title not be requested? Shame it's not as simple as in the UK. If you buy a car without a V5 (the 'logbook') or lose it, you can send £25/$30 and apply to the DVLA for a new one. Then the DVLA writes to the previous owner and if they don't hear back from them within about a month you get a new V5 in your name.
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow I got a free jeep xj with no title and I did what's known as the Vermont trick. If you have a bill of sale you could probably do it or whoever you sell it to.
I bought a 86 Eddie Bauer edition new when I returned from my 2nd tour of Germany. After buying it I realized it was a POS. Only going factor was it was 'cute'. If you're going to put good money in this, just donate it to the "Save the Lynn" foundation! Lol
I work on cars for a living and I have to say I think these are pretty decent little rigs compared to today's vehicles. I see brand new cars with tons of ridiculous problems.
those Bronco II's are so cool .. i had a two tone blue one .. love thos back side windows how they curve upwards ... my only 4x4 and ran through the snow great ....
I think it’s soooo incredibly cool to see your work ethic, you never shy away from a challenge. You’re just a very talented man and I love watching your content!!!
You must have pretty tiny fearful badgers on your side of the pond. Ours have two dachshunds for breakfast and a pit bull for dinner... Good video. 🇬🇧👍
I love these suv my friend has one and we bet the pics out of it for years. He still has it out back for doing wood for the wood stove. We live in maine. The salt on the road did it in. But it still runs very good and move good. Just won't take a sticker for the road
I was born in the mid 80s and the '92 or '94 Ford explorer was how I also learned to drive stick shift ❤ 18 years later 99% nothing but manual transmission vehicles for me over the years ❤
Hello from Delaware! I find myself watching your videos in any random order. I was happy to watch this one and pleasantly surprised to see the introduction of Gus! Hello Gus!
