its a 89 2.9, 5spd, 4x4, manual 4x4, 4" unknown lift, 15x10 wheels, 31x10.50 BFG tires. tilt, cruise, rear window that folds up. i got it for $1,650. drove it 2 hrs home as well. the po said his fenders were dented up so pick a part had a bunch of cash for clunkers and he took the front clip, seats and headliner, as well and the rear hatch for the window that lifts up. body has 185k mi and the engine said it was rebuilt a few yrs ago with no proof but it is painted blue.
bads: ac doesnt work, its all there. needs shocks in the rear. might as well replace them all the way around. i dont know what lift it is so how do i order new ones? the po said they swapped in 3.73 in the rear but the front still had 3.45 gears. i went and tried it out in some sand when i got home and 4wd was working. i know not to use it on the pavement like that.
few questions:
where to get new shocks?
it runs good. underpowered of course. there is a miss while running down the rd. now a steady miss but there is one. at idle its fine and dont feel it. it does have a new cap that i can tell but old plugs and wires. probably gonna change them and see whats up.
what gears do i need to look for. im gonna run a 33" tire max. it has 3.73 and 31 and it sucks. i was thinking 4.88?
im looking for a dana 35/8.8 to swap in. maybe a 4.0 as well
what is notorius for going wrong with these b2's or what to look 4. sorry for the long post.
on to the pics....
