Not Another CTOR Build

I think I am going to have to throw my vote towards full width. Besides, a streetable ex with full width axles just doesnt make as much sense to me.

that was my thoughts to

did a little winter sealing up, well i managed to somewhat install the rear hatch (or badly hacked it on there) so other then having half a drivers door and no window in my pass door, the cab is mostly sealed back up.

Didn't you start out full width? Why did you decide to narrow it? I'd go full width for stability, as long as you can still fit down the trails.

Lucky SOB with all your snow. We had a bit of freezing rain, but not barely more then a flake or two of the white stuff.....

well picked up some wider axles tonite. Full width 44 and 9". Funny i started out with a full width 44 and now i am going back to one. My DD explorer is gonna receive my narrow 44 and 8.8 from the B2. Not really changing anything other then width though. Gonna stay 4.88's and the aussie and welded rear. But i do have some more changes to the truck coming soon though.

The B2 is finished.....as in no more. Body beaten beyond use, axles donated to my explorer family wheeler, Frame is bent/twisted.

Here it sits at this very moment awaiting final dissassembly.

Dismantling the B2, Built a Family Hauler Wheeler. But i cannot beat the Explorer like a beat the B2 as i intend to keep the body straight and glass intact. But at the same time i love to built the crap and not care wheeling that the b2 offered. So i am building another rig.

Heres where i am starting.....

1st Gen Ranger Cab

Bronco 2 Frame (not the same frame as my old b2 as that one is bent).

Full Width D44 and 9"

and my 38's

Min. Lift as possible to clear the 38's
Already have 5.13's ordered for the axles
New set of Rims (on Order) and DIY beadlocks
Reuse my D44 Aussie from my other D44
Weld the 9" spiders
Most likely an Exo-Cage with some sort of bed cage
Mounting the Radiator behind the cab
Mounting winch where rad. would be
Chopping as much off the front of the frame as possible for best approach angle
Ext. Radius Arms and 5.5" EB coils up front and 63" Chevy springs in the back
Lots of other crap.

Gonna start real soon on the build, Going to Harlin. KY mid March and plan to take this with me.
