Looks good..

Remove the sway bar and put a front bumper on it and it will look excellent.
 
yea, the bumper will come in time, i just need money

and i've been meaning to take the swaybar off for a while, i just havent gotten around to it
 
i dont know what a bumpers worth to ya but i have one that im not going to use from my 87 BII it would be shiped from wichita, ks.

about the sway bar. how do the BII's handle on the highway with out the say bar. iv been debating taking mine off.
 
I took mine off my explorer and it handles fine. And my ex is alot heavier than a b2. I was afraid at first but now its second nature. Just don't throw it into turns like a maniac.
 
Thanks KCB, but im not sure if i want a stock one or if im going to build one

And i heard taking off the swaybar with my stiffer lift springs should be fine with handling
