dude its your call on the front end, i am really starting to like the look of gen 2's so i would leave it, bu i also love the look of gen 1's...its your call man

Headlight harness will not work with gen 1 lights. I'd say leave it 2nd gen. I like the looks of both.

someone sold a kit at one point that made the factory harness of the 2nd gen work with a 1st gen front.

edit: nevermind it was the other way around... my dad just told me i was backwards

i like the gen 2 better...cleaner look.the gen 1 is sweet to but.....the my opinion.
great work so far .i just got a near mint 1990 b2 myself for $350.all it needs is a fuel pump.it is a 2.9 with 5 speed and maunual t-case ,d35 front,3:73 gears with l/s rear.

going to be ordering the lift very very soon should be this week coming. when i get it i will be painting all the brackets orange and the drag link and other steering arms orange and rest of the axle black and the knuckles orange lol

 

[4x4b2]

sounds cool, what color you painting the truck?

 

[Boggin]

Well I planned on doing it like mhughes or MoabB2s truck but now im kind of thinking stumpys b2. I'll try to get a pic

 

[Boggin]

Here we are..

She is even lifted 6" with 33s just like I'll be running

 

[4x4b2]

dude i love stumpy's truck

 

[Boggin]

i love the short wheelbase, couldnt even think of doing this in the ranger

light tabs welded top and bottom. theres no such thing as overkill

welds were getting better until i ran out of wire

general idea of what it will look like on the truck, only with more plate added

and with all this snow we got, my sled is still in the corner of the garage in pieces

should get the bumper pretty close to done tomorrow

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]
