Hey There, Im in the market for a rock crawler. I came across this one in my area and want to get anyone's educated opinion if it's a good deal? - it doesn't say it in the post, but it has 72000 miles on it. The guy bought it at 55000 miles and put all the work in. - This may sell fast, so speedy response would be appreciated.

I'm amazed sometimes that more Bronco II's aren't built up....seems like a nice size platform.

Build list looks decent....but those axles will NOT survive 35's for long, especially the front.

It is still TTB front? If yes, plan on a SAS...soon...
 
Haven't had a look at it yet to see if its TTB.

Will be using this for my daily driver to work about 15miles to work and back all up. Any known issues with road driving with a rig like this?
 
For a daily driver, the front/rear Detroit lockers might get on your nerves (but maybe not). For years, I read that the Detroit would "throw my truck off the road". That was so not the case. I only "feel" the Detroit in my rig when I take a near-90 degree turn and have to get into (or out of) the throttle, or I'm accelerating aggressively (merging) and then let off the gas quickly. The Detroit is LOCKED full time until you are making a turn and your foot is OFF the gas pedal. When torque is applied (gas pedal), the Detroit is LOCKED. It takes a bit of understanding and practice to master driving with a Detroit if you don't want to feel and hear it pop, clang, and click all the time. But I have loved mine. -Something to be said for the Detroit's simplicity and dependability. And its 1/2 the cost of a selectable locker.

Now.... in the winter time, with slick snowy roads, in 4WD, dual Detroits spell T-R-O-U-B-L-E. If you live in a snow/ice state, for a DD, I'd say NO to the Detroits.
