thats good looking BII

Thank you! Still waiting on my DOM tube to come in so I can build the steering and get her on the road again!

 

[BroncoIIer]

Tomorrow morning I'm ordering upper shock towers off an F250. Ford part # E5TZ 18183A. And also James duff 35.5" shocks.
Getting closer day by day!

Thanks! It was a dream that turned to reality! Biggest feat to overcome of the whole project is the cost of everything.

Thank you! I have fallen in love with them as well. Def. past the point of no return with this one. haha

Just won this on an ebay auction for $100. Re-manufactured, with all hardware included.
Flex a lite 40. Reg. price is $217 at Jegs and Summit

Ready to see how it works!

this has motivated me to get back to work on my b2.

 

[BroncoIIer]

That makes me proud that my work inspires someone else. That's a big part of what got me started on my B2. Forums like these always inspire new ideas for my rig.

Nice looking rig! Is that your SRT4 too?

 

[BroncoIIer]

Yep the Yellow SRT4 is mine. Red one is my brothers. It's my DD.

 

[03ranger30]

I have always liked those things, is yours stock?

 

[BroncoIIer]

As far as boost level yes, but I have done alot of cosmetic work. I have a 3in turbo back exhaust on it, Injen short ram intake, TurboXS Rofl blow off valve, and Intercooler hard pipes. Other than that it is stock performance wise. Will run about a 13.00 in the quarter mile.

 

[03ranger30]

Still a pretty quick car, I have always liked them, but I would get into trouble if I owned one.

 

[BroncoIIer]

Yeah it is, in the five years I have owned it I have received one ticket. It was a 75 in a 40 and $400. I haven't done it since...

 

[B2 Addict]

Awesome job bro, that thing looks bad a$$!!

I like your build.
Especially your coil towers. I was one of those guys that spent a few hours getting C-Channel to work haha. I also like your arm mounts. I have about $20 in my arm setup. I just made something work. It works ok, but I need to upgrade it. Were you able to buy that one half of the Axle C-Clamps or did you make those?

 

[036speed]

Nevermind. I should have checked the James Duff website first haha. That is a nice setup/kit.

 

[BroncoIIer]

Thanks! The James Duff kit is pricey, but I think it will be well worth the money. I should get some work done in the next few weekends, and I'll post some pics up.

 

[BroncoIIer]

So I made some progress this past weekend. I mounted my electric fan and prepared my truck for the real work next weekend. (Rolled it on the driveway instead of the gravel extension.

Here are some pics of the fan. Its a Flex a Lite 40.

I'm lovin the new clearance I have in the engine bay. No more working around that damn fan.

I have ordered.
4 15" travel James Duff shocks
2 f250 upper shock mounts
2 Rear Cragar Center caps
1 Cragar Soft 8 (for my spare)
DOM & Steering components

All of this will be installed along with my drive shafts this weekend so check back for more pics!
