Lets get some good info for Jim.

Who's B2 has inspired you the most? or who's B2 does your B2 wish to grow up like?

Lets her them!

I like (try) to keep mine in a league of it's own, but.....
mine inspires to be like these two. There are also 2 on going race projects that inspire me but neither of the two guys are part of this board.

I get inspiration from yours Joel (pre flares), but I too like to have it be its own truck.

Actually, I'm in love with this Eddie Bauer:

I'd like to build on with a 4-inch lift, cut out flares painted to match the tan bottom, upgrade the interior with tan leather, and deck it out with premium accessories, stero, video, the works. It would be built for comfort and show. I already have (2) trail rigs. I want a fun daily driver.

my goal for mine is form AND function. I want it to perform good off road, perform good on road, and be comfortable while in it.

I have eyes on a set of tan leather seats out of a Mountaineer that was an Eddie Bauer that are going in my BII whenever I get a chance to go pull them out.

I think I just threw up a little! Just my opinion, and nothing to argue.

So what you waiting for?? I was disappointed when you chose not to build the Silver one, you had. I've since lost the file for the grill.

1) I'm still renting and have limited space.

2) I don't have a garage to work in and it's driving me nuts that my (2) Rangers are sitting outside in the driveway all the time rusting.

My landlord has been very accomodating. I don't want to push my luck. Hopefully by next fall the wife and I will finally because garage....I meen home owners.

Why do you guys like my truck so much? My wife Hates it! It's nothing Special. I just try to make it look different that's all. I like being able to walk to a crowded parking lot and see my truck right away and know it's my truck. Our civic bugs the shit out of me, cuz on a daily basis I see atleast 5 sedans that are the same color. Atleast 12 or more sedans like ours, but different colors. They are everywhere.
