Brakes started to shimmy, and were replaced at 139000.
Nothing else.
These are the one of the best of the original SUV's as I see it.
They are built well. They drive great. They turn on a dime. Not the most powerful, or fast SUV out there, but has enough go when you need it.
For a 14 year old vehicle, it's holding together great. I have always liked the 89-90 Bronco 2. I stress the 89-90, because I never liked the interior or exterior styling of the 84-88.
This mini SUV by far blows away the rival Chevy S10 Blazer. I owned one 1991 S10 blazer, and I never will again. The B2 is far better built, and the quality is excellent. I have heard a lot of bad things about the 2.9 motor, but this one is quiet, and runs great.
I think Ford had a great truck, and I don't know why they didn't keep building them. The Explorer was a poor excuse to relieve the Bronco 2 of it's existence.
I couldn't agree more. I have heard the same about the 2.9 but my experience shows it to be a very reliable robust engine. I have had 4 bronco 1990 II's to date, I have scrapped one with 350,000 kms on it and still didn't burn oil. I am restoring one and as well I have a 2.9 1990 Ford Ranger. I have owned this since new, has 255,000 kms and it still runs like a new truck. I think they are the ideal SUV - not too big, efficient to run etc. If it is driven properly, I don't see roll over being an issue at all.
