lol no, close though. Just went to a spring shop and asked them to make me a leaf eye to accept this bushing, 8" long and 2.5 wide from 3/8's.

pretty sweet man

friend just sent me some pics he had on his camera, nothing spectacular, but some decent pictures of the truck (I know i dont have many)

worked on the B-duece a little bit today. Mostly on the OBA which got put together then upgraded and never put back together, if that makes sense.

obviously this is temporary for the mounting, but the location is what im going to use, I am also ordering another 2.5gal sun performance tank to mount on the same spot other side. I am going to fabricate steel brackets off the cage to bolt them to.

and here is just a video of my vi-air switch i finally got wired. It kicks on at 110psi and off at 150. I just cracked the line wide open to make i cycle.

awesome rig man, do you have any idea of what kinda cfm that ac compressor puts out? I'm thinking of doing the same thing since my ac quit. Great build!

 

[NMB2]

thanks guys. I really appreciate it, its been a long time in the making and I've had sperts where I just quit and thought about never starting back up, but I just keep on building.

94 - Im not sure on any CFM ratings but I can tell you that its pretty decent. It has no issue running my 1/2" impact to pull my wheels off and it will constantly run the air chuck and die grinder which is rated at 3cfm @ 90. I currently do not have a regulator so its blasting the full 110-150 out but I plan to regulate it to conserve air with only a 5gallon capacity.

finally have a sunny warm day, so I pulled the B2 out from under its hiding shelter.

I like the stance now that the springs have settled.

time for an exo...

time for an exo...

you know, ive thought about that and i probably wont. I will probably EVENTUALLY tear the rest of the body off and build off of the current cage.

 

[86 slo-vo]

i started to say that but figured you wouldnt want to do that because you still drive on the street some

 

[NMB2]

I actually never really liked the exo-cage look much. I like the look of my backhalfed B2 and the cage inside will hold the body intact in the case of rollovers without question.

when the body eventually does rag out completely, ill just fully tube it, skin it, and run it.

That b2 is bad ass!

I see the pics of the OBA. I am assuming your low side (intake) ends a couple inches at the filter and the high side(output) runs to the tanks? How do you handle your lube? A mechanic here in TN said he did the mod and you have to retain the filter to prevent the oil from getting in the lines...... But I cant seem to get anyone to go into details about. I cant seems to find a detailed writeup either. Im looking to find out what parts are needed to be purchased new and what can be reused. How long did it take? Now that you have had it for a while how is the reliability?

 

[NMB2]

the air filter is on a T w/ a cap on the backside. I remove the cap and shoot in a little lube while its running. inline oil seperator enroute to the tank.

New parts i bought was the filter and T fitting. some hose and seperator and a pressure switch.
