I've got 3.73's and 235/75-15 tires, that is a really good balance in the drive train.

It's a shame they used a B2 body to shelter thier piece of Crap. To quote Ron White, "You can't fix stupid".

Since there are limited options for Gen 1 BII's and Rangers, does anyone know of alternatives? Such as, Early Bronco, Scouts, (jeeps) or others that have similar frame width and overall width. I don't mind drilling more holes, I just don't want to cut and weld (or fill a gap with 20 washers) a...

I bought mine with the guage inop., the previous owner said he filled it at 200 miles. I started looking at # of gallons at 200 and realized I had barely used half a tank. Now I go 350 and start looking for gas, and still only put 18 gallons in it.

When your dad had one new in '86 that was pushed off the freeway and rolled 3 or 4 times, and now in mid life crisis I buy a B2 instead of a new Challenger, D'oh! :icon_confused:

+1 on the LMC HD headlight wiring harness ! ! ! That is the single best improvement I've put on my BII. :icon_thumby:

Welcome You have come to the right place, TheRangerStation is the best resource for your new toy. I'll speak from experience by telling you to go slow, fix what needs fixing (fix it right), and enjoy driving it. Upgrade later. You have a capable 4X4 that is nimble, Don't try to use it as a rock...

I had the Rabs light on after motor had been out for rebuild. I had also rebuilt rear axle at same time. I lived with light on for awhile then just pulled the bulb. One day while I was under the hood I noticed a wire connection hanging loose and found that it plugged in under master cylinder...
