86 Budget Conscience Build

[William Spitzer]

Just got home from some light wheeling and trail riding. Something may be wrong with how the clutch is set up, I was able to smell a decent amount of burning clutch at one point, slight fender rub at a few points, nothing to tear the fender up, or hurt the tire, but annoying none the less. Definitely feeling like a regear is needed, never got stuck but ran out of power in 4hi a couple times. Hit some decent mud, rode around, but most importantly I was able to keep pace with my uncles Jeep, and thats what really matters, after all.

Riding the clutch??

Riding the clutch??

well it really needs a regear, first, but the clutch pedal isnt even with the brake pedal, far from it, it has about 4-6 inches more travel than a stock clutch, i assumed it was just a side affect from the exploder/b2 transmission swap, but I dont think the clutch is fully engaging. Although it could just be a problem with 31's and 3:73 gears.

Nice build thread love the stance and tire size. Personally don't like the tire itself (have had bad luck with it). But nice B2.
