So it's been about 2 months of admiring everyone else's rig in here, I thought I would post a little bit about mine..
Purchased this b2 about 2 months ago with no transmission and taking the guys word for it that it ran for $800... This is how it looked after a quick wash..
After stacking the torque converter on the first tranny and acquiring a tranny that had a 2 pin instead of a 3 pin connector valve body I have finally installed the correct tranny and got it to move, only to find out the left tire rubs when turning sharp to the left... After looking at it and not catching it upon purchase I found the left side radius arm and bracket has been pushed back.. Most likely from being jumped.. The James Duff long arm kit along with the 2" body lift shows up tomorrow... Just wanted to share a little history of the projects, and now for the pics of the progress done today... Decided I needed a safari rack, on board air plumbed to a 5 gallon tank, and put the Goodyear 33" MTR's on it...
Safari rack in the build
On board air
The 33's
The way it's sit's today which will be changed this weekend, due too the parts showing up..
Thanks for reading and inspiring me on what I want to do next... There will be many of more options I will be adding to this "TOY"
Let me know what you all think..
This is not and will not be a daily driver it will be built for the trail...
