just put a bolt in from behind?
I hit a junk yard up Saturday looking for my buddies '89 a new bumper. We found an '85 with a nice brush guard on it so I got it for $30. It needed cleaning up and paint, but that was easy. Luckly the bolts holdign it on broke lose without a problem. It was a tight fit under the BII to get the bolts off since it had no wheels and was sitting on the ground.
Before Cleaning:
After Cleaning (wire wheel on angle grinder):
Back Side painted: (1 can of rust-o-leum)
Front Side painted: (1 more can of rust-o-leum)
I hope to have it installed in a couple days...

I had the front end aligned today. It was surprising how close I had it just by sighten it.
I also got my brush guard installed. Below is those pictures. Before anyone ask, I am NOT going to be running lights on it for right now. I am going to install my blue LED's on it sometime here soon. I am still deciding if I like it or not; either way, it will stay on there till after the Dunes trip so I will have something to attach my flag to.

I have about $1200 in it so far. The majority of that is the tires/wheels and lights.

you sure know how to barter for that price.
Here is my pile of 1 FM-145 transmission (sold), 1 FM-146 transmission (getting installed in the BII), 2 BW1350 manual transfer cases w/ shifters (1 in my BII and 1 in my buddies BII), 4 driveshafts (2 front, 1 double cardon rear, and 1 u-joint rear), 1 FM-145 transmission crossmember, and 1 set of Dana 28/35 stock radius arms that I got for $150!
Here is what I got done today that was worthy of a picture or two. I needed a new positive battery cable. I had all the parts I used to do this laying around, so another cheap/free mod! The wire from the battery to the starter solenoid is twice the size as it was stock, so hopefully it helps out when I get the new light bar!
Old Battery Cable:
New Battery Cable:
I also figured out why my cruise and horn wasn't working. Turns out it was a bad ground in the steering wheel. Now people will know when I am flipping them off!

Whats the thickness on that battery cable? Looks friggin huge!
I got the rear done for now. I installed Ranger factory lift blocks I got from Zach (zabeard). They were easy. You wouldn't know it, but the front is only 1/2" higher than the rear!
