disciplerocks's B2 build thread

[disciplerocks]

Well I drove her to work today and it still needs a LOT of toe adjustment. I don't really know why. Also noticed that I have a bit of negative camber now. I guess the new brackets lowered the axle a bit more than my other ones. Going to throw in a few more washers under my coils when I get home to adjust.

 

[disciplerocks]

Camber adjusted. And lifted it a tad in the process. Toe also adjusted, but not totally sure its completely straight. I'll find out tomorrow.

Tow hooks added for Interlake tomorrow :icon_thumby:

 

[disciplerocks]

Had a lot of fun at Interlake today. At least until the damn Dana 28 decided to come apart. Cut my day short, but it left enough time to hit up the junkyard for a Dana 35 with 3.73 gears.

Damn , you've been busy this afternoon .

 

[disciplerocks]

Lol yeah. Would have never gotten it out before they closed without Katie's help. Same truck had a locked 7.5 rear. Thinking about getting it if I don't find a 8.8 one.

 

[86 slo-vo]

locked or limited slip?

 

[disciplerocks]

Oh, idk. Tag said 3L73

 

[B2Guy]

do you have any pictures of your homemade brackets? id like to see them.

isnt that L in 3L73 for limited slip?

 

[86 slo-vo]

yea thats just a limited slip, wont do ya a whole lot of good in the dirt...

IMHO id go 8.8, the 7.5 just isnt worth putting any money into

 

[railman]

make sure to double check the spindle nuts to see if they are for auto hubs....

and your D28 lock outs won't fit the D35....

l8r, John

I grabbed the manual hubs off it so I'm good to go. Now I am wondering if the calipers and rotors are a direct swap. I just replaced my pads and rotors on my D28.

 

[B2Guy]

ive read that you can use your d28 calipers. i would think you could use the rotors as well but not 100% sure...

 

[Andres629]

Don't think you can use the rotors... IIRC the spindles are a different diameter, as is the rotor. Could be wrong though.

BII looks sweet though, gots to find me some 4" beam brackets for mine. What's next on the list? (minus 8.8 and 35)

 

[disciplerocks]

Next is bumpers, bigger tires, and longer radius arms if I can find some at a decent price.

Here are pics from the trip:

Got off work today and decided to go ahead and swap out the axles. Got her all together for the most part.

Then hit up Autozone for some longer shocks and brake lines.

Still to do: install brake lines and bleed them, hook up steering components, shorten driveshaft, find bigger tires!

 

[B2Guy]

so you got the longer brake lines from autozone? how much were they? got a part#?

[B2Guy]

[railman]

as for the front shaft...goto 2nd Time Around in Chandler....does awesome work, and he may even get it done while ya wait...

l8r, John

 

[disciplerocks]

I called a place in Chandler called Driveline Plus. They said it would cost $40.
