nothing really new to post but I have a pic of me screwing around on my property in the b2. its the last pic i'll have of the current blue and white color scheme. plastidip coming soon...
theres not much to write up on the wrap. you clean the hell out of th surface. and apply like a sticker but use a heat gun to smooth out bubbles and i used a plastic bondo spreading board to press into the lines. took about 2 hours or so to get it good
another update: i was getting tired of not being able to run the heater on cold nights because with the headlights and heater on the alternator couldnt keep up with the demand. so, i decided to do the swap to a 3g alternator. write up HERE. i HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend doing it if you have any...
another update...
i have had 2 tbird turbo coupe scoops for about 2 years with the intention to put them in the hood. well i finally grew some stones and started it up.
first shot is very rough cuts for the scoops to fit, second pic is basically the final cut and the hood cleaned for the carbon...
the output on them kinda sucks. i really want to do a projector retrofit to them with hids because there really isnt any better options for more light for these. for now i just use the square fogs to supplement the headlights and it works ok but the alternator doesnt like it (60 amp unit tested...
time for another small update, i finally cut down my prerunner light bar that was meant for a full size chevrogay and welded it to fit the b2. i also installed the harbor freight offroad lights and some cheap square fog lights on the bar. the pic is before the wiring was done so you can see the...
the 2.9 in my b2 does just fine up hills and highway driving. that being said with the bigger tires (31's on 3.73 gears) it does take a little more pedal to start going. but once it gets going it isnt too much less powerful than a 4.0. my ranger is the 4.0 with 3.08 gears i believe and...
i have the spacers in my 90 b2 and with the +/- 3.5 degree adjustable bushings its just fine. i still have some room for more adjustment if i wanted to add a little more lift to it.
i currently own an 88 cherokee and a 90 bronco 2. previously had a 94 ranger which is still in the family so between the 2 ford i KINDA had an explorer. the jeep runs and drives well but there is definitely a lot more road and wind noise. the body on the fords feel like better quality metal IMO...
ok been a year since the last update but finally some progress...
lifted the front with spacers:
and did the 93-97 4x4 lower valance:
before:
no valance:
during fitment:
and the final(sorry for the crappy night cell pic):
now i need to find some fog lights to put in and fit my preunner...
you also need to remember the coils have probably sagged quite a bit if they are still original. with the 1½" spacers you will most likely be fine still. i have 2 inch spacers and was still alignable
i get around 16-18 city with mine.its a 90 4x4 with 3.73's and 31' tires. that being said, my gauge is off also. it says about 1/4 tank but i fill to the click and its usually about 13-14 gallons. i dont worry about it though, i just drive the thing like 1/4 tank is empty so i dont have to worry...
i know ive seen where people have swapped the 2nd gen ex tail lights onto a first gen ex but has anyone done 93-up ranger lights onto a b2? it appears they m ount up similar enough other than a little cutting to open the sides for the round part of the ranger light.
that bronco might have the d35 front. if it does i would just leave the axles in it until you break something. look for a tag on one of the bolts on the front axle and it will tell you (or us) what axle it has
