Here are the specs on them. Both are 4x4 with 2-doors.

Chevy Blazer 1986
Automatic 14/19
2.8L V6 EFI
125hp / 150ft.lbs torque

Ford Bronco II 1985
Manual 16/20
2.8L V6 Carberated
115hp / 140ft.lbs torque

Which is the better vehicle? Basically, I am going to have one strictly for off-roading. I am not going to get a title and have them pass emissions. I want to take them trailing, mudding, rock climbing, river running, ect. ect.
Looking at them, I would take the Bronco because it is a manual. Though, I want to know if someone around here knows which one has the better off-roading capabilities. I know with the Blazer even having the auto, that it could have a better system that would totally kill the manual Bronco.

If I remember correctly, I think that they both have the same size wheels and tires. Price is not an issue and they both will be free, or extremely close to it.
