Is there any way you could flare them out a little to let the tires clear ????

idk. i'll get the 33's on there and see what happens. i don't really wanna cut fenders but if i gotta-- i will.

so i fixed the a/c.. used it about an hour this morning on my trip-- then decided it felt weird and turned it off and put the windows back down again lol.. idk why i fixed it. might just convert it to OBA one day..

I fixed the A/C on my mine last year, new pump, new valve, new dryer, and all new O-rings, it took my mpg's down too far, so I unplugged it and haven't used it non since then, I prefer the 18+ mpg over the -15mpg too much.

So if my money situation don't start looking better-- there will be no SAS this summer.
(censored, few choice words)

But not only am is my checking account almost empty-- the bank decided to charge me twice for 3 different transactions. So right now it's negative money..

so its funny when, We have an RV for sale.. and its listed on Craigslist. well someone tried calling the phone number in the ad, and didn't get an answer.

so she calls up to my work (she's one of our customers) and asks who's RV it is b/c she wants to look at it.

so is it bad when people know your truck that much?

Money is a big thing when doing work on my truck, I have to put a little aside to be able to do anything....time is also another thing for me too.

 

[4.0B2]

I've got money put up; but it would take about another $100 to do the swap. Then the time. Which is alright. I did a side job and should be getting paid soon that's $130 lol. But my paychecks are disappearing before I get my next one. I've gotta do a little better money management. Think I'm gonna go buy some bread and pb n j to leave at work so I don't eat out for lunch. I've already quit going to fox and hound-- since I'm 21 now-- to try to save money. Im determined to make this work.

 

[kris97ranger]

its amazing how much you spend on lunches... i figured it out in highschool it was like $200 a month for a baconator combo or subway everyday.. and that wasnt counting weekends

 

[dangerranger83]

So how do you plan on running your brakes...like I did and down your longarms so that you dont have to worry about ever over extending flexing your front. My front tires can swing under my truck and touch my rears and I would still have front brakes.

Right now Im trying to figure out what to do on my truck that wont cost much...maybe put the headers on it.

 

[4.0B2]

yeah i like that brake idea a lot.. i'll probably do it that way when i do the swap- if not, i'll do it dang near right after the swap. b/c i know they'll need extended.

 

[dangerranger83]

The factory ranger ones wont work after the swap, the brake lines have to be done a that time. It only costed me $25 total for all the hard lines and the 2 soft ones (btw are off a 92 chevy cavalier, the rear brake lines).

 

[4.0B2]

alright. thanks!

couple of rando pics i took while under the b2 today...
notice the oil leaks.. lol. most have been fixed, just never cleaned up

why do the shocks hang so low? the 8.8's won't-- i'll work on that during the rear axle swap

my "muffler".. and the exhaust, i want it all changed out. but its just gotta wait

first gen explorer driveshaft shortened to fit, one of the best mods i've done on this thing other than the 4.0, if you look- you can see where the grease of the cv one slung out. i broke 2 cv shafts! lol

I broke one of those cv shafts when i had a b2......on the street
