When I moved back to Florida, I had to leave my BII in Alabama. Well after 2 years I was finally able to get it here.
Even after 2 years of sitting, all I had to do was put some good gas in it and it fired right up. :D
But after sitting out in the open for all that time it looked alittle rough.

And the engine compartment had a few dirt dauber and wasp nest in it.

After some soap and water, a little rubbing compound(alot of rubbing) and wax.

Well I have an almost non-existent budget so things will go slow. I do have a 12,000 lb warn winch and a 3" body lift to put on it. Am also planning on doing the poor mans 2" suspension lift.
Would also like to find a donor F150 or Bronco to get the axles and drive train from, but that is alittle further down the road.
Mostly I will use it for back and forth to work and muddin' and trail riding.


Here are a couple of dirty pics from when I lived in Alabama.


diagonal line down side is water line. Deep hole. :D

Welcome back Jorley...glad you finally reunited with the BII...I hadn't seen mine for almost 2 years before I finally got it back too...but mine wasn't even finished when I had to suddenly start driving it again...

Amazing how they wait patiently for their Masters...or is it the other way around?
