Well i am proud to say that i am now a owner of a b2. I got it on a good deal but now comes the fun of figuring out the good and the bad. Here is what i know so far.
Good:
6 in lift with extended radius arms
35in tires in alright condition
dana 35 and 8.8 (drum brake)
93 explorer 4.0 swap
Custom bumper and skid
82,000 miles on the body(idk how many on the engine)
warn manual hubs
auto to manual transmission (4speed not sure what its out of) and transfercase swap (not sure if this is good or bad)
body is in good shape
trimmed fenders
parking brake works
runs great and starts right up
Bad: that i can find as of now
Speedometer doesnt work (any ideas not really sure how to fix this)
random lights are out
steering is pretty loose (compared to my 97 ranger)
steering pump whining
clutch is short and alot of play in the transmission shifter
lock on drivers side isnt there its just gone
brake pedal feels like its spongy or something like that.
Unkown:
what gears are in the axles
lockers?
does the heat or a/c work
why is it so hard to shift the transfercase (they did a auto to manual swap)
i am sure there area other things just cant think of them at the moment.
I picked this truck off a towing company so they didn't know really anything about this truck but from what i saw it has a ton of potential. Its a pretty unique rig for out here in utah so i am hoping someone in the area will know some of the work that went into this truck.
My goals for this first couple weeks/month:
clean and change/fill all fluids
clean out the interior pretty good(so my wife will ride with me )
fix the speedometer
pass safety and emissions
Hit the Trail and see what the B2 can do.
ILL post pics when i can.
