Not Another CTOR Build

[Jspafford]

Man, that is awesome to see it go from two different trucks to one. Makes me want to go out and rip my b2 off the frame and rebuild it.

Thanks a lot....

Looks great!

HAHA thats awsome! tell me the letters are beads of weld!

 

[fordwheelinman]

Is there any other way....i think not.

 

[CheapThrillB2]

yes that is weld

okay, got my last shock mounted, and the rear bumper done, also put my plate on it and changed the spark plugs

really all that is left is a radiator (its leaking between the tank and the cores) and finish supporting the front bumper

heres the rear bumper mounted (it looks really wide, but my tires are still wider then the bumper)

amd i had my first mishap...........

i popped the coil out (LF) when i lifted the front tires off the ground, the eyelet i put on to retian the bucket bent outward and released the coil (i replaced it with another eyelet and welded it closed so it cannot pull apart again)

Im lovin it, are you gonna put either an interior or exo cage onit?

 

[CheapThrillB2]

i haven't decided, but i will probably do an interior cage eventually

 

[CheapThrillB2]

well i made the mayden voyage with the B2 on the pavement today.......

took a 60 mile round trip to my shop and did an alignment on it, heres my specs on the front

Camber
LF 0.4 RF 0.3
Caster
LF 4.6 RF 4.9
and Toe
LF 0.09 Rf 0.19
Total Toe 0.28

its drivable up to 55 mph, after that the vibrations are pretty bad (the rear two 36's are not balanced and my drive shaft angle is pretty bad)

but i do need to stiffen p the gear box, it has alot of play

also got some new logos made for our club

I don't see a trs sticker anywhere...

 

[CheapThrillB2]

the only TRS sticker i had was the Feb. OffRoad TOTM sticker i got when i won for my Explorer, but the explorer is probably a cube by now (it got recycled after i finished parting it out earleir this week) and i have spent every $$ i have getting the truck ready for this weekends Pig Gig

 

[CheapThrillB2]

pig gig ready
