country0001's Blue B2 build

[country0001]

Got everything installed last night,except for the interior.

Gotta research today what I have to wire in on the trans.

 

[country0001]

Bonehead me, had to order a starter for a manual tranny today.

Didn't realize that they were different.....

Hopefully tomorrow.......

Luckily I have goodfriends that were helpin me put it together

 

[country0001]

Its up and runnin like a scalded ape. It has so much more power than the auto. Freakin love it!

 

[disciplerocks]

Glad to hear it. Manuals are the sheet!

 

[country0001]

Still have the D28 with auto hubs, I have manual hubs,but no conversion kit. Where can I get the conversion kit?

 

[country0001]

Just scored a SA froma 95 wrangler for free. Not sure what to do with it. any Ideas?

 

[country0001]

Finished rattle cannin the paint job and got my pushbar put on.

Found a great deal on some tires. They aren't the size I wanted but 80 bucks for 4 tires with 90% tread. I can get by with that for awhile.

Any updates?

I'll probably be puttin my D35 in pretty soon, I have my F150 up and runnin. So I can tear into the B2's.

Need to solve some wiring issues with blue. Wanna paint it too. Need to trim the rear fenders or get some better leaf springs.

Got the drivetrain for my other B2, along with a set of axles from a cherokee. Going to sas my tan B2. Trying to do one project at a time.

The F150 only took a month, and I took it all the way down to frame. Thinkin I'll do tan that way too. Much easier to change engines and replace Harness with out a body in the way.

New springs... will exploder springs work?

As a temp fix for sagging springs I used air shocks in my B-II.

Installed F150 springs, lifted the rear about 5 inches. New tires, new driveshaft and new gas tank.

Got a hell of a rake on the truck. The rear is at 35" fender to ground, the front is at 31"

Saving up for a Rough Country lift. Will install my D35 at the same time.

[hockeyryan]

agreed
we need pics

 

[greasemonkey6886]

Am I understanding correctly that you put F150 leaves in the back of your BII? If so what did they come off of a 2wd or 4wd, year range, and number of leaves they have. I have thought of trying that but havent gotten around to it yet.

 

[country0001]

Moohaha. Yes. They are from an 89 2wd. Direct bolt in. Five leaves. Took about four hours. I'll. Post pics tomorrow.

 

[country0001]

I just wanted to get the fender off the tires. Didn't realize it would lift so much.

 

[greasemonkey6886]

Hmmm........Wheels turning....... might have to do that to mine. I hate the idea of blocks in the back and not real fond of longer shackles either. How does it ride or have you drove it yet?

 

[country0001]

Honestly....... its a lil rough. I can stand on the bumper and it wont move. On the highway it was smooth. When I get my lift kit. It'll get new shocks

 

[FrankBoss]

when I stand on the bumper the bumper flexxes..LOL
