Got my first B2. Advice on upgrades.

[brutzuk]

Howdy :icon_cheers:

Got my first B2. Nice black little guy. I'm a big Suzuki Samurai fan, and when I seen this guy, it was like a big Samurai, I had to get it. It's completely stock, in pretty damn good condition for being in NY. Anyways, it's going to be my daily driver.

Wondering what upgrades ya'll would suggest for a DD? Maybe something for engine to give it little more kick? Suspension advice for little smoother ride? Any cool ideas for the interior?

I seen some of you hack your tops off too, awesome work :icon_thumby: I'll probably be looking into doing that down the road.

Oh, and it has a tranny problem lol. It's acting like its stuck in 2nd/3rd. When it's off it won't shift at all. When on it is in neutral but acts like it's in 2nd. and won't let me shift out. I can do like 17mph with it screamin at 3k lol. Broken lever i hope?

for the motor, the 2.9 is useless for putting money into. drop a 4.0 in it and be done. trust me, been there and done that. i put headers and cam and intake and stuff on my 2.9 and it still didn't get what the 4.0 offers stock.

on suspension-- explorer axles. w/ some good springs and shocks. get something softer than stock.

on the interior, bucket seats w/ center console, good radio, speakers.. clean it up real good. that's all i ever did. and painted my dash face black... look at my build thread if you wanna look at a long simple b2 build lol

3 and a half hours and I get 9 replies. Why the f*ck didn't I come to this bronco forum first. You guys rock lol.

Ric, I read your entire build when I read the cut off thread, basically I'm totally jealous and hate you. Ok joking about the jealous part

Sorry to the pig fellas but I've been there done that and NOT goin down the road again. This time I ain't liftin nothin, or if anything just a couple inches. What's MPG like with the 4.0?

4.0B2, definitely up my alley. Lovin that, bout to read your build after this post.

Anyone got any idea bout my shifting problem? Ring any bells? I did a search through here and read through like 12 pages, one guy seemed to have a similar sit-che-ation. His was in neutral and acting and driving like it was in a gear as well, his ended up being pins or somethin not lined up. Hope that's my problem too.

And yeah I'll snap pics tomo for ya'll to see.

Basically my build so far is explorer drivetrain. RC 4" lift. Procomp wheels. Firestone at's. Radio stuff. Cleaned up interior. Lots of bs. A few issues of mechanical stuff. Some ttb tech for my upcoming axle swaps. More BS... And some pics!!! Lol.

Ummmm. I think that about covers it. Except when I thought about my Dana 30 sas. It's a very simple build. Mainly a daily driver slight trail rig.
