A couple of the Bronco IIs I've owned. Wish I kept the blue one. Lots of memories with my kids out wheelin' with me.

They look pretty similar, 86’s? They look capable. Looks like some good wheelin areas. Washington? Nice shots and nice bronco’s. How long ago did you get rid of them?
The blue one is an 86 and went everywhere $45k Rubicons went on Oahu. The gray one was a 87 set for daily and trails in Washington. The blue one got sold in 2007 right before I went to Iraq and the gray one went a few years ago when my youngest son only cared about video games; now he regrets it. Lol

My 71 CJ5, while stationed at NAS Whidbey Isalnd, about 1973, used to hit the logging roads and power line Trails pretty regularly. Ha, memories.

update on the "Clunk". I swapped the original open differential back in in place of the Detroit Eaton Trutrac, to verify whether the clunk was related to the diff. or not. It was not the diff. , still clunks, my latest theory is that the slip yoke at the transfer case could be binding due to the angle after 4" lift and not slipping when in a certain position, causing it to bind and clunk when it finally slips. I'm ordering a custom multi double cardan front drive shaft from Tom Woods, this has a double cardan at both ends. I have high hopes that this will fix the issue, if this does not do it? I'll keep looking.

Break thru! My electric shift motor was not shifting properly into 4low. I removed the motor, selected 4low, and checked location of shifter. It was located a few degrees to the right of the marked location for 4 low on transfer case. I removed the shift motor and went to my dirt test area and shifted transfer case to 4low on T case with pliers. I drove around in 4low to simulate when I was hearing the clunk and no clunk. I went back Saturday morning and tested for nearly an hour, no clunk. I don’t know the details of what goes on inside the T case but apparently it was not firmly shifting into gear and allowed the T case to jump when under load. I ordered a Behemoth drivetrain electric to manual shift conversion with floor shifter. After I install the shifter and have it operating properly I will re-install the trutrac LS front differential and have the set up I’ve been trying to get for almost a year.

I lost track of the posts related to my clunking noise issue, however, this may be helpful to someone. After many dollars and I year of chasing my tail I realized that the noise was indeed coming from the transfer case, but the problem was that the electric shifter was malfunctioning. It was not placing the shifter shaft in the TC in the right location. I removed the electric shifter and went to my dirt testing ground, I shifted into 4 low with pliers at the transfer case and ran it to test. After extensive testing it did not once make the clunking noise. This is huge! I ordered a Behemoth electric to manual shifter conversion kit to make it manual with floor shifter, which I wanted all along. Hope this helps someone.
