    Buster goes camping

    It's a Surco I bought from a member here, on explorer bases and I built the Light mounts for the front. Really handy! Also, Thanks for all your work on the site, I hope we continue to grow as these trucks age.

    Buster goes camping

    Took my 4.0L equipped B2 camping to the Damascus, VA this past weekend (Creeper Trail/ Bear Tree Campground). It went so much better than version 2.9! It even goes good enough that I scored a speeding ticket in TN!

    Sounds like two midgets sword fighting

    two of these (one per side): http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?R=UBP82304_0197992971 and radius arm bushings made my midgets go away... just sayin'

    Need some tips on how to line up my passenger door on my 86 B2

    No- The quarter panel and rocker are welded on. It sounds like you need to make some adjustments at the hinge where it mounts on the body (not the door). Just adding shims at the door/hinge mount point changes all the geometry in the hinge. I would suggest removing all your shims and trying...

    Looking for new exhaust for 86 B2 2.9

    +1- and for what it's worth, my B2 came with a butchered together, gutted cat and dual exhaust. I picked up power when I swapped the cat back in and installed a walker turbo flow system (for a ranger, but it was cheap and fit with very little tweaking)

    Roof Racks for the B2?

    I bought a used Surco rack here for almost nothing, fabricated my own light tabs and added an explorer base from pull-a-part. The explorer rails were easy to mount with a little measuring some nutserts, and it gave me the flexibility to remove the rack or slide it forward/back as desired. I...

    Lift??

    I have this very set in my 89 BII and can't gain enough camber to get 0* (i'm right around +1* with bushing maxed out). However, my springs don't seat well on the center of the spacer. I suspect I've got around 3" of lift because of this. I'd suggest finding a better quality set.

    to buy or not

    I paid $2500 for a absolutely rust free, 100% complete, somewhat mechanically neglected 89 B2 w/ 200k/mi. $3000 seems a little steep, you can pick up a decent truck for $1500-$1800 around here.

    rear drive shaft

    I just installed a shaft from these guys in my 89- fit perfect, works great. I didn't have the time or energy to invest in building a shaft.
