well you cant keep us hanging like that.

As for the hook's my brother had made something to keep strap's from coming off the style with no keeper, i cant remember exactly what he did but it worked great.

jeep coils? what size? i want some

is the bumper done yet?

 

[Boggin]

yeah 3" xj coils. and nope not yet lol

 

[Boggin]

just got offered 2 grand for the b2 like she is. but i just cant do it, now i realize this b2 is worth more than just money, its so much more!

 

[Boggin]

hears an idear, let me know what ya think.
i am not a fan of headlight covers on trucks. i just dont think they suit it. but a buddy told me about something i should do when i was telling him about the b2 being painted army green with a camo theme, and he told me i should get a set of headlight covers, and do them over with camo wrap. (camo wrap is a vinyl type stuff that you can put on your vehicle or atv or somethin, comes in different patterns like mossy oak, realtree, etc)

i thought about it and i think it might look pretty good with some other small camo pieces that will be on the b2, nothing cheezy though.

another though was getting headlight covers, and cutting them out so they just cover the bottom signal light and the side one, and still cover that much in camo. i think it would be pretty cool, and different

 

[kroussinoffroad]

not a fan of anything that is gonna reduce light output. i'm allway's trying to shine as much light as I can.

 

[kris97ranger]

im with kroussin on this one.

 

[Boggin]

me too bud why do i need to shine light in the daytime?

 

[kris97ranger]

dont need to really but you do in bad weather. and when its dark and if it were me id get tired of having to get out every night to pull the covers off

 

[kroussinoffroad]

had a buddy back in highschool that had headlight covers for day time driving. still makes me laugh to think how often i would see him pulling into the school parking lot with his offroad lights on cuz he was too lazy or it was just too cold for him to want to take the covers off in the morning.

 

[Boggin]

i have them on my mustang and theres nothing wrong wit it, i dont be out early enough to need my headlights in the morning, earliest ill be out is 8-9am and its broad daylight then, and i can jus take them off when i go home for supper

 

[Boggin]

my buddy is mixing up the paint for me tomorrow for the b2! lustreless olive drab it is! then im gonna get her painted hopefully by the weekend!

 

[Boggin]

rims painted with black rubberized rocker guard. they are drying now, ill post pics when i put them back on the b2.

 

[Boggin]

rims are painted black and i got some pics, theyre uploading now. i also put in new brake shoes and springs in the rear and now i got no brakes on the rear. i looked and theres fluid leaking out of the drum so im thinking i got a bad wheel cylinder. i might swap out the whole axle from the other ranger if i got to

 

[Boggin]

well here she is now

i was gonna paint her that green but **** that. weezl inspired me, shes goin vista blue metallic and dark shadow grey. same pattern as weezls too. blue all over with the grey down from the bottom body line and the center of the hood.

[88_Eddie]

[Boggin]
