Awseome, thanks, I'll see if that helps. I moved it into the shop yesterday, and started and ran alot better than before. Its manageable now, unlike before.

I'll be posting pics of my RC lift. It'll be here on Wednesday.

Good luck with the build.

Failed state inspection for front brake hoses, brake shoes, parking brake, exhaust leak. ordered new front brake hoses, new shoes, spring kits, adjuster kits, and the exhaust gasket between the downfall pipe and cat for $60. Hopefully finishing up repairs today, and getting it inspected on my next day off.

Thank God we don't have state inspections in Oklahoma.

Just got home from some light wheeling and trail riding. Something may be wrong with how the clutch is set up, I was able to smell a decent amount of burning clutch at one point, slight fender rub at a few points, nothing to tear the fender up, or hurt the tire, but annoying none the less. Definitely feeling like a regear is needed, never got stuck but ran out of power in 4hi a couple times. Hit some decent mud, rode around, but most importantly I was able to keep pace with my uncles Jeep, and thats what really matters, after all.

Riding the clutch??
well it really needs a regear, first, but the clutch pedal isnt even with the brake pedal, far from it, it has about 4-6 inches more travel than a stock clutch, i assumed it was just a side affect from the exploder/b2 transmission swap, but I dont think the clutch is fully engaging. Although it could just be a problem with 31's and 3:73 gears.

Nice build thread love the stance and tire size. Personally don't like the tire itself (have had bad luck with it). But nice B2.
