ok so i got a bunch of questions and there's probably more to come so instead of trying to search every form on here and probably gonna piss some one off by not doing it and its just easier to keep track of it if its all in one thread im just gonna do it here so to start
BTW all of this is for my 1988 Ford Bronco 2 and ive searched for most of this stuff on google but some is just easier to ask
1. is any one using dana 35's on a b2 with 31-33's cause thats what im thinking of using i also wanna throw some electronic lockers on them for when i get real stuck with a 3-6 inch lift any one know if this will work and if i can even stick an electronic locker in a TTB setup the reason im doing this is i dont plan on a lot of like extreme trail / rock stuff just lots of mud and some rocks and LOTS of snow (Wisconsin snow) basically going for a simple bolt on lift bolt in locker bigger tires upgraded steering all parts to come from a 91-98 Ford explorer unless there something that would be better
(plan to just buy an explorer and strip it for what i want maybe even motor tranny )
whole point of it is to make a vehicle that can get stuck cause im sick of getting stuck
1b.id like to put a wider axel on the rear just to try and make up for the higher height of the trucks center of gravity if even possible is there one that a would match up the same as the stock one and if theres a vehicle that it would to come from that id get it off of
2. I'm thinking of putting an extra fuel tank i got for free a while back in my truck just not in the normal places i want to mount it in the roof rack i want to build and tie it in to existing fuel system using this http://www.ebay.com/itm/271584885229?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Fuel tank selector valve an extra low pressure fuel pump and a switch mounted some wheres in the truck
my question is any one think this wont work? Ive read gravity feeds flood the evap system but this shouldn't since everything is separate and wont be even connected to it. now i know there is dangers involved in this but i think it wouldn't be any different than if its on the bottom.
i should say that i would be protecting with idk lets call it a tree plate and it would have tubing all around it and i would insulate it from the sun paint the tree plate white some other stuff
3. has any one tried those Cree LED lights are they good, great, terrible?
these are the ones im talking about: http://www.ebay.com/itm/18W-Cree-LED-Work-Light-Flood-Lamp-Car-Boat-Tractor-Truck-SUV-UTV-ATV-Offroad-/400839384929?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d53e39f61&vxp=mtr
i wanna get flood and spot versions of them if they are any good and i mean you cant beat 20 bucks for some leds like em
4. I'm looking for some type of see threw wire metal i have some stuff on my truck that's used as a grille but since it came with the truck i have no idea where to get it from or what its called here's a pic
http://i.imgur.com/onhsNvQ.jpg id like the same stuff to keep the zombies and crazy ex's/theifs out seems like would be good for it id be putting it over my all of my windows except the doors well i would would just be making it removable along with the rest of it.
mainly just looking for the name of it and maybe where to buy it or any thing that you think might be better
5. any one know of any high amp bolt on alternators like 200 -300 or higher (ill be running 0AWG wire front to back) id like to put it in place of either the stock alternator or where my ac compressor was it would take place
but id prefer to run from the ac compressor location cause i want to install a second battery for winches, a possible plow, lights lots of lights, power inverter, and then my Anderson plugs on the front and back of the truck for emergency jump starting of my fellow trail riders with out even popping the hood. so as you can see i need/want a BIG alternator so i can jump a vehicle even if it doesn't have a battery
6. any one know of any steel or stainless steel pre made battery holder i could use to mount (big one as in 4000-5000amps) i was thinking of doing something under the back seats building a box prefer to buy one to hold a battery so i can access it in the event of dead main battery and zombie invasion
7. this truck is obviously old but i love it i was originally thinking of swapping the motor in it with a 302w from a Ford exploder but i was wondering is there any kind of plug an play wiring harness out there or something that makes it so i just have to wire up the motor and it runs cause id like the truck to appear stock on the inside gauge wise don't wanna have to add anything extra altho i probably will.
but my other question does any one use there b2 lifted and such with the stock engine and tranny cause my current thought is to yank the motor and rebuild it and send the tranny to some one to rebuild that cause i know there a pain but im just wondering is it worth it to rebuild it for my uses? cause it would save me alot of trouble.
End notes i should probably say the zombie invasion probably wont ever happen in my time but hey all the shit i want to add can be used for more then just zombies but im not adding much that ain't use full for me if there isn't a zombie invasion so everything is pretty much dual purpose
if you could answer my Questions with the numbers it will make it less confusing for all involved
and for now i think this is all the questions i have but there will probably be more.
