What is that console from? It looks great.

It was out of a late model bronco 2......my friend has an early explorer with the same console but with a 2 cup insert.....thanks!

Was it a direct bolt in? I'm going to look for one this weekend.

Yes, you just have to drill the holes. Make sure you get all the brackets.....

Got the rear end in and got to drive it finally..big difference with the 410's. ..it also seems to track better too?? Maybe because the rear end is a little bit narrower?

been awhile since i updated this...finally got to really use my b2! pulled my pop up trailer into the woods and did some camping! the b2 performed great, (glad i changed the gears)although it still wanders a little. having some weird issue with it starting when cold (it fine when warm)and already changed the ecm temp sensor so now im back to scratching my head...lol

 

[Harley]

changed out the other temp sensor and now the gauge works again...but it still doesnt want to start when cold....

a few new updates, the cold weather start problem is a grounding issue!! did some testing with a set of jumper cables and it starts right up when the body is grounded to the frame...ran an extra ground and the problem seems to be gone

Put on a 2 inch body lift last weekend. ..needed a little more clearance for tires and for future upgrades...looks like 35s might be in the near future....

 

[Harley]

Have plenty of clearance now...

the starting problem is back after the body lift....i still think its grounding related

It's really frustrating. Tried using jumper cables to figure out where it was coming from but it very sporadic. ..thought I had it but the problem returned. ..should I just buy all new cables?

 

[Harley]

put on some 35s...

Got a smoking deal on a winch 8000 with the brushguard for 150! i am stoked!

When you say pocket flares, are they the cut-out style or not? I'm trying to get an idea of the clearance of 35s on a first gen.

To me that looks like like they're just wider to cover your wide tires.
