What did you do to your B2?

[Boggin]

So, Im getting a BII soon, and wondering about any ideas that you've comr up with,
exampe:
I really like what CopyKat done to his headlights, me made a round molding type thing, I was thinking about that,
so tell us what you've done/doing!

 

[BlackBII]

Hmmmm, Lets see....Lots!
4.0/M5OD
5.5" Lift
4.56 Gears
Lockers
Dual shocks up front, CopyCat did the same, only better than me
Super runner steering
Roof Rack
Light Rack
Custom Bumpers
Ext. Radius Arms
Explorer Grill
Bed Lined the Entire Thing
Rock Sliders
Fox Body seats
Newer Ranger Center console
Warn Hubs
D44 Knuckles and Brakes
Dual opening Hatch, Like a Tail Gate and a flip up window(that one was fun)
Tube Doors
Then I wrecked it!

I chopped teh top and added a rollbar on my other BII, and added a Black Canvas top, no windows
Chopped the doors 6in from the bottom, so there was a 6 inch 'lip' like a jeeper so yer shit don't roll out when rollin with no doors

And many other things to many other BII's:icon_thumby:

Kinda the wrong place for this kinda question Boggin!

Interesting, as I've been working on a concept very similar. I've seen one like you've mentioned. Got any pictures??

I dont..... The wrecker already crushed that BII

I'm making another one tho, the first one was rather.. Primitive..

It was reaal nice having a Tailgate tho, and not having the lift the entire back hatch everytime.

Not mine.

I see...

I used the BII Hatch and cut it in half, then used some weather stripping in between the two. I made some hinges out of some F150 tailgate hinges and then used the pneumatic pushrods to push up the top part. The latch to lock the two together I never got totally figured out

Does the Ranger Tailgate fit just fine on the BII or do you have to narrow it?

Looks like it fits

Looks like it fits

Need to shave about 1/8" off each side.

meh, personally I'd rather the hatch, but hey thats just me

well sort of and not sort of, I dont mean like under the hood and suspension and that kinda stuff, I mean rare home-made stuff, like your round headlights, and how you added the oldschool style, thats what made me post it in the Rare section, cause tis not every day you see a round-headlighted-old-school-styled B2!

 

[dusto2]

STILL WRONG PLACE THOUGH, its not rare its one of a kind just like alot of mods guys do, sorry to pop the bubble

 

[Boggin]

well now since we got another B2 forum it should be there!

 

[dusto2]

exactly and it is awesome that there is a BII section now:icon_hornsup:, there is going to be alot of threads to move to this section

And if you see any let a Mod know!

So here is a list of what has been done to my truck.

4.0L
M5OD
Manual 1354
Custom 4.5" total lift.
Custom trussed D35/D44 hybrid
Explorer 8.8
Flipped rear shackles
Round headlights
Fiberglass fenders
Custom front bumper
90 interior swap

That's just a general idea as to what has been done.

One of my favorite modification is shaving off the rain gutters

Pictures?? I can see doing the rear one as the 3" long gutter isn't doing much. I'll likely cut mine off before I paint.

Would like to see what they look like removed above the doors.
