    Scored another B2....for now!!!

    Just scored an 88 Eddie Bauer B2 4x4. Guy I bought it from claims that it ran great until a few months ago when he pushed the clutch in, heard a pop and cracking noise, then the truck wouldn't turn over. Looked at it and saw that the clutch switch was cracked into pieces and the rod was bent and...

    What years have interchangeable body parts?

    I'm sure I'll get flamed for asking this, but I figured it would be easier to ask. Will the doors or rear hatch from an 85 B2 fit my 89 B2? I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but I wanted to check.

    Snow, ice, and a slightly Modded B2

    Finishing up the end of my deer season with some rough weather for my area. I know snow and ice is common for some of y'all, but to an New Orleans local hunting in South Mississippi it's not a commonplace for me. Nothing special, just thought it looked cool.

    B2 lift kit questions

    The B2 that I bought already had a lift kit installed, but I'm not sure of the brand or size. I think it's a skyjacker kit because the springs have skyjacker on them. The rear of the truck has lift blocks. I had measured the blocks at one time, and I think they were 3.5 inches. The reason I'm...

    Fuel filler hose

    Dropped the tank today to get access to the rear body mounts that I'm replacing. Found that my filler hose is SHOT! The inner hose appears to be ok, haven't really looked at it. But the outer hose is deteriorated bad. What can I use to replace it? Nobody has a replacement that I can find. I was...

    Headliner replacement with pics

    As I continue to get my 89 B2 up to the way I want it, I decided to do something about the hollow tin can sound when closing the doors or rear hatch. Pulled the old headliner, added sound deadening material, and will be replacing the headliner in the next few days. Pulling the old one out was...

    89 B2 4x4.....My work in progress

    About a year and a half ago I bought my B2. It is primarily going to be a hunting rig, but will occasionally see some mudding /trail riding. Since I got it, I've been slowly getting it fixed up. Bought it with a bad tranny. Swapped in a rebuilt FM146. Then the front oil seal let go. The motor...

His has a 2.9L, auto tranny, manual t-case. Would swapping the t-cases be possible? I want the manual as I use mine mostly for hunting and...
