I'm making plans for my 4th B2. I need a 2nd vehicle, that is dependable, cause my Ranger is being made into a beast, will possibly be down every so ofen due to trail carnage, and the tires cost too much. So here's my plan.
88 B2- dirt cheap, rust bucket, from a friend, no engine
D35- from my Ranger, after some repairs, has new brakes hoses and W/Bs, 3.27 welded
8.8- from my Ranger, has new brakes lines and cables, 3.27 open
2.3L- $100 w/ ecu and harnesses
5spd- have the 2.9 one with a pan, ?Bolt to a 2.3?
Mods,
Extended shackles- I'll make em
Coil Spacers- from my Ranger
2'' Body lift- bought for previous B2 never installed
Poly body mounts- bought for previous B2 never installed
Chopped top- my last B2 was and I loved it
Trimmed fenders
31'' tires- lying around
Bedliner 2 tone w/ blue camo paint
I basically have everything but the engine and paint. I'm lookin to have something I'm not worried about breaking(too bad) and that I can do a little wheelin with. Just a back-up beater. I also don't want to put any money into it, as building the Ranger empties my pocket every week.
BTW, I've had my fill with the 2.9, I've blown 3, and the lifters drive me crazy. Don't even mention it. It would get a 4.0 and M5, but that costs much more.
So, what are you opinions? Do it or not?:icon_confused:
