I cant decide how I want to build my B2, do I want a rock crawler or do I want a prerunner/dezert truck. Help me decide.
If I build a prerunner/dezert truck here are my plans:
Prerunner style front bumper tied into engine cage
Engine cage
Fiberglass one piece front 2007 conversion(front clip, hood, fenders), 6" flare
Full width Dana 44 TTB
Coilover front suspension
3 link rear suspension
Ford 8" explorer rear axle
Fiberglass rear fenders, 3" flare
Interior roll cage
33"x11.5"R16 Mickey Thompson Baja Claws
Mickey Thompson Classic Lock wheels
4.0 Liter engine swap
If I build a rock crawler here are my plans:
Stinger style front bumper(tied into exocage)
Exocage
Full width Dana 44 solid axle
Ford 9" rear axle
ARB air locker
3"-6" lift
35"x13.50"R15 BFG Krawler
American Racing Outlaw II wheels
4.0 Liter engine swap
Not too sure how I want to run the suspension for the rock crawler.
Here is the design for my prerunner bumper.
And here is my design for my stinger bumper.
The yellow squares are the head lights and the orange squares are the turn signals. They are there to show how the bumper would sit in relation to the front of the truck. And the grey tubes on the stinger represent the frame rails.
Designs are far from final, but its the basic shape.
What do you think?

, people keep saying it but no one ever explains why. Educate me. Living in NorCal I will build it as a multi use truck, but styled more like a dezert truck if I go with the prerunner.
