    Scored another B2....for now!!!

    Just scored an 88 Eddie Bauer B2 4x4. Guy I bought it from claims that it ran great until a few months ago when he pushed the clutch in, heard a pop and cracking noise, then the truck wouldn't turn over. Looked at it and saw that the clutch switch was cracked into pieces and the rod was bent and...

    What years have interchangeable body parts?

    I'm sure I'll get flamed for asking this, but I figured it would be easier to ask. Will the doors or rear hatch from an 85 B2 fit my 89 B2? I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but I wanted to check.

    Snow, ice, and a slightly Modded B2

    Finishing up the end of my deer season with some rough weather for my area. I know snow and ice is common for some of y'all, but to an New Orleans local hunting in South Mississippi it's not a commonplace for me. Nothing special, just thought it looked cool.

    89 B2 just died

    Need help from you guys figuring out my problem. My Bronco died on me while driving the other day. It is an 89 with the 2.9l, manual tranny, auto t-case. Reman tranny and engine installed last year. Less than 1000 miles on them. Truck only gets used during hunting season. Other than that it...

    Weekend project

    I'll be starting some fab work on my B2 tomorrow. Some front bumper, receiver hitch, winch mount work up front. Also picked up a set of the 58" Trail Gear Rock Sliders. Will be fitting them as well. I'll post pics of the progress as I can. But I'll give y'all some idea of what I'm going to do on...

    B2 lift kit questions

    That sucks about the springs from Skyacker. But I'm probably gonna still give them a try. And I know my frame ain't tweaked.

    B2 lift kit questions

    The tires in the pic are 29's. I'm now running 31's. Thinking about ordering the lift leafs from skyjacker to get rid of the blocks. Hopefully I can get the info I'm looking for when I get a chance to call Skyjacker.

    B2 lift kit questions

    The B2 that I bought already had a lift kit installed, but I'm not sure of the brand or size. I think it's a skyjacker kit because the springs have skyjacker on them. The rear of the truck has lift blocks. I had measured the blocks at one time, and I think they were 3.5 inches. The reason I'm...

    Headliner replacement with pics

    Yeah, no need to pull everything for the headliner. But I'll be pulling everything soon so I can do something to the floor. Not sure if I'm gonna bedline it or what, but I gotta do something.

    Headliner replacement with pics

    I just removed enough trim to get it out. Didn't really want to have to pull everything.

    Headliner replacement with pics

    It's back in. It was A LOT of work, but overall I think it was worth it. What do y'all think?

    Fuel filler hose

    Dropped the tank today to get access to the rear body mounts that I'm replacing. Found that my filler hose is SHOT! The inner hose appears to be ok, haven't really looked at it. But the outer hose is deteriorated bad. What can I use to replace it? Nobody has a replacement that I can find. I was...

    Headliner replacement with pics

    Last coat of filler has been sanded. Never realized this was gonna be such a big job. And maybe I'm putting too much into it. But tomorrow should bring foam and material. Here is a pic after skimming and sanding. All smoothed out now!

    Headliner replacement with pics

    While I'm at it I decided to pull the armrest thing from under the rear windows and recover them too. I think they turned out pretty good. Just sitting in place, not installed yet.

    Headliner replacement with pics

    Glassed the back of the headliner, then flipped it over removed the foam and realized just how bad the board was. Went ahead a lay a thick coat of resin to the foam side of the board. It hardened extremely well. Today I'm going to bondo a few bad areas and sand the whole thing down smooth. Then...

    Headliner replacement with pics

    I'll be using 3M spray adhesive. The Camo material I ordered online. Inweave fabrics or something like that. I was hoping to have it finished by now, but the weather this weekend really messed me up. Rain and fiberglass work don't mix. With the moisture in the air, the stuff just didn't want to...

    Headliner replacement with pics

    Wasn't really wanting anything custom. I've got good speakers in the doors and rear walls. Just want something for the Camo material to stick to.

    Headliner replacement with pics

    Not sure what you mean about tucking the edges? But I can promise you that putting fiberglass on the original board will not dissolve it. The first layer of glass is drying in my shed right now. Tomorrow, weather permitting I'll get another layer of resin on it and then I'll flip it over and...

    Headliner replacement with pics

    As I continue to get my 89 B2 up to the way I want it, I decided to do something about the hollow tin can sound when closing the doors or rear hatch. Pulled the old headliner, added sound deadening material, and will be replacing the headliner in the next few days. Pulling the old one out was...
