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!:D

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:

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.

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

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!
