[country0001]

Could you get the receiver hitch for me? if he still has it...

I'll see what i can do

 

[country0001]

nice bronco, reminds me of my old b2, there tough little trucks, and can take a beatin (7 feet of air, almost vertical) lol

Thanks, its been a long road here and I just got started.

Funny thing is, I have another 90 B2 that is in need of a new motor.

I've found a 93 F150, 302/E4OD 4wd that runs for 500 bucks.

Dilema is, put in the B2 or my 92 F150?

B2 dude, 302 rbv's are awesome

 

[superds]

B2 dude, 302 rbv's are awesome

+1. Totally agree.

 

[country0001]

One day fellas, one day........... As for now, it'll go to the F 150. I need to increase my fab skillls b4 I attempt something like that. The 4.0 swap bout killed me.

Maybe Tan will be my SAS w a V8. Hmmmm maybe a midengine B2 like gwaii's ranger.
JK, dont think its long enough, plus engine noise would be tremendous.

One project at a time.

 

[country0001]

Painted the new sheetmetal, will post new pics in the mornin

 

[country0001]

These were taken last night after I rattle canned the new sheet metal.

Still need to finish the back half.

I have an idea for the back hatch, I want a split hatch. I like the top, but I want a tailgate too.

looks good makes me wanna go work on my b2

 

[country0001]

Makes me wish I had more time and money to work on it. Need to do the transfer case before it starts getting bad. Need tires too. Not that these are bad, maybe i should say want

 

[FrankBoss]

I want a 2wd Bronco so bad.. and I want to split the rear hatch as well...

Oh side note: You NEED BITCHIN TIRES!!!
I'll drop you a PM if I find something tire wise

Screw it, Just found a hatch with a glass that opens. Hopefully will have it by weekend

 

[country0001]

MOOHAHAHA. I found one on here somewhat locally. He's having it delivered on Sunday.

 

[country0001]

Got hatch mounted today. Shimmed it a little bit to make it close better. Freakin love it.

Started realizing that I'm building my perfect B2. But its spanning over the entire run of the B2 production.

My truck is a 90 w a 94 ranger 4.0. It has the 90 A4LD w/ a 88 manual tcase( next weekend) I have 88 doors w manual windows, 84 rear hatch w opening window, 89 front clip and about 6 cans of rattle can flat black

 

[buell-eyed-devil]

I have been trying to figure out what you mean by 2 piece hatch. I have an 84 with opening window.

 

[country0001]

My original idea was to cut my hatch in half and put a tailgate in also. That way i could have access to the back without opening the talgate and having everything spill out

 

[4x4b2]

dude swap that to 5 spd it will be way bettter than the A4LD, in my opinion no ranger or b2 is right without a manual trans.

Well, I'm fine with this one being an auto, My other B2 has the M5OD. It'll be next on my project list. I wanna put a d35 in this one first, and I'll have to find a donor for my other B2. This one will be my dd, the next one will be my extreme. I'm thinkin sas and full width. I think I'll stay w the 4.0 tho.

 

[country0001]

New hatch with widow open.

Went ahead and put my mud tires on cause they're bigger.

 

[country0001]

Gonna swap t case's this weekend. Should have done it when I had the tranny out.

Any tips on doing this while in truck?

BTW, had to do my 1000th post in my own build. Yay
