well i figured i would get a short list of things i have done with pictures and descriptions so everyone sees i actually wheel and dont sit around online instead of wrenching like other people i know......
i got it last fall and this is basicly what it looked like
next step was 31s some coil spacers and a bastard leaf pack out back but i lack pictures of this. i had swaped on manual hubs to replace the automatic ones.
skip ahead 6 months or so and i have swaped in a ford 8.8 and dana 35 from a explorer that both have 456 gears and a mini spool in the rear. the front suspension has rancho jeep coils that are only a 240lb spring rate instead of the crappy 500 pound rate lift coils that came with my 2.5 inch lift kit. front can get about 13 inches of wheel travel as it sits and could get 17 if i changed the shock mounts for more travel.
jeep coils that have a 18 inch free height and have a static ride height of around 14 inches with SSV shocks to keep them under control.
IFS diff cover to replace the shitty fiberglass one that ford put on there stock
nice long radius arms that came with my lift along with poly bushings.
cant go without good tow points and something to protect your radiator and other important engine parts from trees.
got hand throttle?
just for scott
the tree won
33 12.5 15 TSLs
window sliders to save those big vonerable windows (they do work!)
and how it sits tonight while i dick around on here proving i actually do wheel....
well now that a spent an hr getting this junk together for all you web wheelers i am going to go put the b2 back together to run trails sunday.
