B Deuce
So since I am 2days from finishing paint then on to lift I decided to start my build thread.
The story of Bdeuce is kinda wierd, I found him at my friends ranch while working for her. I knew he was there didnt know much else about him though. Come to find out he suffered from the most common element know to BIIs cracke 2.9 head; and previously blow 4ald. He was parked shortly after a trans rebuild (ruffly 3k) and cracked head, someone did try to revive him pulled the heads to replace, put was soon found to the hands of a cracked doctor(guy took off with heads and never came back to finish). Fast forward almost 8 years; I find him dead in the sun, engine half torn down with only 1 flat tire, broken rear window, and untouched(no lift, no mods what so ever).

I redid the carpet with a dark grey, headliner was done in black, and the instrument/radio bezel done with the bedliner spray. Next is the building of the radius arm brackets, clean and paint the radius arms, and regear the diffs, going 4.56 front and back, skyjacker ttb brackets, jeep coils, hybrid explorer/ranger leafs that actually flexed really good on the ranger(may have to mod them once on BDeuce). Also going to be doing the f250 shock mounts in the front. And now on to the pics
, had the front out and on the ground in a hour. Then started putting in the drop brackets and mounting everything in place, then relized I need to modify my trans mount. I got almost everything done for the front minus shocks and bleeding the brakes. Here are some progress pics, tonight wrap up the front and put the rear together and hopefully be driving by tonight.
The rear sat just where I wanted it to, its is a combo of a explorer pack with a procomp long add a leaf no overload, and a bell tech shackle; and it sits just right on some 33s. The front was a combo of skyjacker drop brackets, some radius arms I got from another member on here that were custom, jeep tj iirc 6or8", and some custom radius arm brackets I made. I drove it around the block really quick couple of times being how late it was and I have to work in the morning. It road great from what quick 10mins it was, leans a little much in the turns but then again really soft coils and no sway bar(one of the little things). I cant wait to get everything finished and fine tuned to go play, only a few small things left to do.
time now
