Not Another CTOR Build

[CheapThrillB2]

i don't think their is a panel or an area on the truck tha hasn't been smashed at some point

i am also getting another experimental doubler shaft made. Thsi one requires no welding and would techinically be a three peice. hope to get it back soon.

 

[compleckz]

i extended the front which brought me to 98 then just did the rear which broughtme to 103

so you're pretty much back to the old ex sport wheelbase :icon_thumby:

i want to swap my stuff over to a 102 or 112 explorer, the 126 is getting a bit old.

 

[Mechanickid]

he hee I got 102 STOCK!

 

[CheapThrillB2]

i used to have 101.7 stock lol

i would like to build either another sport, a extended cab ranger or if i found a replacement for my dd explorer i would build that. I figure the b2 will get parted and replaced in the spring sometime. maybe after mem. day next year.

just curious why you're wanting to ditch the b2 already? and an ext cab ranger? why do you want something that long? no criticism.. just interested!

i say an extended cab ranger, doesn't mean it would have the wheelbase of an extended cab ranger.......I may very well put a ext cab on this b2 frame in the long run.

Wheel base is a funny thing. I have a 92" Bronco and a 123" BroncoStar and there is stuff they both excel at. In the past I shy ed away from anything over 100" but after wheeling in the 123" van I really like it better. Every one leaves there 100" or so ruts and they don't mess with me at all. Oh and hill climbs I dig the long wheel base. Don't get me wrong there are times it sucks too. I think a truck with a hydro adjustable frame and drive shaft would be cool. Maybe not worth it but cool.RB

just got my new doubler shaft delivered, no welds. Its more of a 3 peice design. I'll post some pics later of the shaft

hmm, that's interesting. Looks expensive lol

 

[CheapThrillB2]

took the input from a tcase and machined it down, bored the tcase gear, pressed two pieces together, then drilled holes into both pieces and inserted the pins (not sure what pins they used but it was made at a machine shop so??) And the output is off a fm145 or 6???

Looks good! RB

Let me know how that doubler shaft works, might have to get myself one fabbed up.

Ah I see. I thought it was all custom machined pieces. I'm interested to see how it holds up.

I didn't think you had a doubler, I must've missed that somewhere

 

[CheapThrillB2]

i didn't have one in my B2, i had it in my Ex Sport

 

[CheapThrillB2]

i should have the doubler finished tomorrow
