any updates on the bumper?

Not yet, I've kinda left the guy alone that's building it bc of the holidays. And I can't get a day off to drive the 2 hours out to his house.

[4.0B2]

might have found my issue on the running, check the link above...

but lookie what i got!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4.10's for the 8.8, so locked, geared, disc brake 8.8 coming soon!

Nice B2 you got there, I like the paint job on the rear hatch.:icon_thumby:
Why did you go for the 4.10 gears? I thought you were after 4.56's

 

[4.0B2]

I am but I bought 4.10's till I do the front axle swap and I get bigger tires. 4.56's and these 30's would suck. I Just don't know when I am gonna get the axle and larger tires. The plan may be 4.88's now bc the Dana 30 I'm buying is geared 4.88

Thanks for the compliments!

These are the teaser pics I get. The first one is an older one and the second is on tonight. Guy on the right is master fabricator of this build

Grinding starts tomorrow.

NICE lookin Bronco II....................only thing I can say negative bout it is, it's CRYIN for some BIG/WIDE TIRES!:icon_surprised:

IMO, some 15X10's with 33x12.50's on it would look GREAT & give it a big BOOST cosmetically!

its defiantly gonna get bigger tires... maybe some 33's on those procomp 8089 16's for dd mode.. and some 35's on some 15 inch black steelies... the 35's be for deer season and other trail rides..

thanks for the compliments!

truck looks good bumper will be awesome once you get it on there with the winch are you putting a disc brake 8.8 in it.

 

[4.0B2]

disc brake 8.8, 4.10's, aussie, and ruffstuff diff cover! i can see the swap in the near future!

THEN when i get the xj d30, i'll do the SAS( its got 4.88's), i'll just leave the front drive shaft out till i can afford 35's and regear the 8.8. but it's gonna be lil bit before i can get the front swaped and afford 35's.

Thanks I wish I could work with metal that good.. But yeah. The bumper is being done by a jeep buddy of mine

 

[The_Dealer]

hell yea thats gonna look good. same basic style im gonna do when i build mine.i just have ALOT of other things thats on the list first. cant do nothing till my block plate comes in

anyways cant wait to see the finished product of the bumper. any plans for a rear bumper?

 

[4.0B2]

matching rear bumper(as in same shape, same guy gonna build it for me to match) with swingout tire mount, cb antenna and hi-lift mounted to the swing out..

on the front bumper- i can't decided on the light bar. building an arb style like (http://www.okoffroad.com/gifs/stuff/arb-1.jpg) or doing a safari style like (http://www.jeeppartsreview.com/product_images/hanson_jr51302p.jpg) with the lights added of course..

 

[4.0B2]

what do y'all think look best? up close to the grill or the one that sticks out some like the fabtech bar i have now.. i kinda think i wanna keep it close to the grill like the arb.

 

[4.0B2]

suppose to get sunday night.. a whole 5 inches!!!! woop! might try some good ole snow wheeling hahaha

just went through your whole thread, looks great. id like to do a 4.0 swap on my 89 BII too but all i hear about from the 4.0s is about their shitty gas mileage and the 20+mpgs of my 2.9 rocks
