The Juice Box Revival (Blake.'s BII Build)

[Blake.]

but.. what kind of CHEAP things can you do, to make it out perform the 4.0? most people (like me) do the 4.0 swap because of bang for buck.

like i said before i'll most likely run the 2.9 till it falls apart. then build the 5.0 i have. when that time comes i'll have a little more money tp play with.... maybe. i hope lol

i know, but i just got curious on his opinion of the cheap stuff that you can do to a 2.9... guess i should get him on a different thread lol.. instead of your build. lol.

i like your plan tho. i mean, you have the 5.0.. i didn't. i'm glad i chose the 4.0 now tho. i considered a 5.0 at one point.

haha its cool man.

yeah i hear ya, if i didnt already have that 5.0. i'd go 4.0.

and if there is any cheap stuff i can do to the 2.9 im up for it, bc this is a negative budget construction. haha

 

[4.0B2]

mine was gonna be a budget budget..........................................................................

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

just like if you look at the first page of disciplerocks build thread-- he says it was gonna be a simple build, budget build.. yeah, so much for that..

 

[Blake.]

yep i know how it is.
no doubt this will turn out the same. lol
for now im just concerned about making it go. i'm ready to wheel it. or at least just drive it down the freakin road. haha

Same plan I had, good plan.

302 is very worth it BTW.

so i pulled the Electric Shift t-case this morning before i went to work.
VVV Dad's shoe. i have the truck at his house bc he has a shop and stuff and well i kinda live out of a duffle bag. lol

put it on a table to take it apart just to see the insides but i dont have a socket/wrench to fit that big ass nut.

i know its not really exciting, but its an update.

 

[Blake.]

Woo! Got it all home.

 

[Blake.]

gonna try to get that transfer case in tomorrow morning and hopefully drive it for the first time. lol
need shocks badly on the front end before i start driving it for normal use. its EXtremely bouncy

 

[Blake.]

this is essentially the look i'm going for

 

[Bennybooster]

They don't make 5.29's for ranger axles, they make 5.29s for the toyota axles, but 5.13's should be good

5.13 it is then. thanks

 

[Blake.]

hey look half my interior vacated.

what's that over in the corner?

yep, thats a hole in the floor.

and just one more hole/crack.

transfer case in. the truck moves now

shift boot.

shifter floor plate thingy

t-case shifter (still not hooked up.)

old hatch off

new hatch on

extra doors

 

[Blake.]

doesnt look like a whole lot but it sure felt like a lot.

got to drive it finally and it drives pretty nice. shocks in the front end are bottomed out and its extra bouncy. brakes need to be looked at. but over all it was a decent ride. didnt check to see if the hubs locked in or not i'll do that later. i was just excited to get it moving.
i also too off the spare tire carrier.
