Head toward the airport north of school. At the signal just before entering the airport turn right. Go east to the first round a bout.You'll recognize it because on the left is an old gas station/garage with a couple old Ford 4x4 pickups. At the first street in the round a bout turn right, go one block and turn right again. Toward the end of the block on your right you will see a bunch of 4x4's. You are there.
Look up Overland Journals offices to get a map. These guys will clue you in on the best mods to start with.
For a true Overlander vehicle you don't really need much. Tire sized maybe 2 sizes over stock, traction devices on at least one axle, preferably both. A mild lift, no more than a couple inches and for the long term, if you keep it a while upgrade the axles. Do the Dana 35 up front, you can add 44 parts for more strength and an Explorer 31 spline disc brake rear axle.
Lots of places to go out there. Williamson Valley Rd. Turns to dirt, 40 miles later you come to Route 66 and Seligman. You can then jump on I40 and head back east to 89 and south back into town. 89 and the airport turn right back to school,and your home.
Look on Petersons 4 wheel,drive website. Jay Kopycinski built a Bronco II on the cheap a couple years back, it should be in their archives. It was exactly the same color combo as yours! You could probably safely run 30/9.50x15 tires on your stock wheels without much if any trimming.
Oh and Engineering should consume your life! Make your B2 reliable, keep your modifications reasonable, focus on school, because after you graduate and get a good paying job, you can buy or build anything you want. I see lots of young people get sidetracked by building off roaders here in Southern California that consume too much of their time and money, causing them troubles in school. Your education is your best investment you'll ever make, because it will pay you back in the long run.
