my 90 b2's re-birth

[94xlt4.0]

heres my 90 b2 4wd. i got it from a friend who drove it till it blew a head gasket. he lost his job so he could not afford to have it fixed or to even do it himself so he said i could have it. im only into the cost of the gasket set cuz i did the heads my self at my college shop. hopefully in the next couple weeks it will be running with a small lift, by the way it already has the d35

the day i got it:

after the first day of working on it:

thanks guys, ill have more pics wednesday cuz thats the next time ill be able to work on it. the body is pretty straight, there's one small dent on the rear wheel arch, and the center of the hood thats it. anyone know about how much the glass for the rear hatch runs for the non-opening version?

 

[94xlt4.0]

good news... its alive!!!! i just have to set the timing to the specs and figure out a few more vacuum lines then put on some 31's and shes ready for the road. here she is with the new grill

my new cb and center console set up, the ash tray was broke and i dont smoke anyway

and my junkyard bumper find, $25 and the local pick your part

how she looks with the 31" bfg all terrains sitting in front of it

i just picked up some coil spacers for the front, but i need to solve my issue with the check engine light, im getting codes 26, 63, and 66 anyone have any ideas? i also picked up a cargo cover in blue to match my interior on ebay

 

[94xlt4.0]

picked these goodies at harbor freight, 9.99 each so you cant go wrong. now to find a place to mount them cuz they dont fit behind the grill

another update: the b2 is registered and insured, $395 later. i went to put gas in it from a gas can i had and i noticed a puddle beneath the gas tank. the notorious rbv fuel filler neck. so as i lower the tank to replace that one of the two fuel lines to the pump break. none of the crappy parts stores have a replacement in stock so im stuck going to the stealership for a simple fule line. DAMMIT

ok, finally another update. the headlights were toast on the deuce so i went on the bay and picked these up:

installing today and ill post picss when im done. the only downside is they use the 9004 bulb so i have to "fix" them to fit the 9007 like i did to the stockers

 

[danger_ranger_club]

doing work. looks nice!

 

[94xlt4.0]

got them installed, heres a pic. it was getting dark so i was only able to get this one pic for now but ill get more to show the fitment. they actually fit great but i need to adjust them badly. it kinda makes it look like i full size bronco with those lights i think

 

[BlackBII]

Hmm...

I kind of dig those lights.

I might have to get some for the Danger Ranger.

Are you lifting this BII at all?

 

[94xlt4.0]

i have coil spacers for it right now that i need to put in the front but i keep trying to talk myself into a 4 inch lift instead. so i havent done anything to the suspension yet. plus the rear springs are so saggy that they're inverted so im thinking exploder rear springs w/ the 4 inch front. i have a pro comp 5.5 that i bought for my 2wd 94 ranger but i may sell that to fund the lift for this and just do the spacers on the 94 instead. if you look close at the left of the b2 you can see the side of the 94

another update, just installed a magnaflow that came off a friends ranger that ive had sitting for about 5 years. it really woke this little beast up. no pics cuz its just a muffler with a turn down but i will have some video soon.

 

[4x4b2]

More pics man!!!

 

[94xlt4.0]

More pics man!!!

im tryin but since the process is slow and im usually by myself workin on it pics are hard to come by. the few i remember to get are from my cell too so quality isnt that great either. i'll try to grab a few more though

 

[94xlt4.0]

not a major update but i did a tune up on the beast and found this on the passenger side rear cylinder:

also, i just came into some extra money so if someone has the drop brackets for a 4 or 6 inch lift for 4x4 im definitely interested. i also did this little mod because i was bored at home one day, not much but a little less green in the light department:

led's for the gauges are coming soon as well as a new flowmaster exiting out the side before the right rear wheel

on your lift, piece one together and get better results. xj coils with your spacers(or just xj +4 coils, whatever you need to get your ride height right), stone crusher steering, f250 shock towers, extended brake lines, explorer leafs, blocks or belltech 6400 shackles, skyjacker drop brackets.

and the 8.8/d35 swap. 4.10s, locked..so on.. lol.

but honestly, i sometimes wish i would have pieced together a lift like that.. b/c the Rough country lift is all i could afford and if i was staying TTB, i'd be doing that list now.
