1988 BII Build

[88_Eddie]

finished up with the bumper for the most part....for now. i need to focus on other stuff (steerin, d-shaft, brakes, etc.) and stop bullshitting with cosmetics

down the road i think i'm gonna cut it like so, then plate the bottom

bumpers ain't just cosmetic... not when they are built like that.

 

[88_Eddie]

true, i meant i need to work on stuff that will help me drive it. bumpers dont help me steer the thing lol

who's to say you need to steer or stop an armored our rig?
yeah, i know what you mean tho... hopefully i finish up w/ college junk soon so i can get back to working on mine.

i wish i had my b2 the whole time i was at auburn, cause i sure as hell wasnt busy doing college stuff!! lmao......my dad would not be happy to read that

 

[88_Eddie]

been slow goin the past couple weeks. been real busy and had family in town this weekend.

i'm seriously considering doing a D30 swap ASAP. i've found a TJ D30 with 3.73's for $200 that's in good shape and comes with steering, arms and track bar. i'm gonna think about it some more, but i think it's what i wanna do. the gears match, so i could get it put in pretty quick.

 

[4.0B2]

go for it. then upgrade as needed.

personally, i'd do a custom 3 link suspension w/ coils and tracbar. DOM, 3 bushings and 3 joints, xj coils, etc... get to work. what are you waiting on?! lol

Your B2 would look awesome with a d-30 under it

mula....lol.

and yeah, i'd do a 3 link with a track bar. bushings on the axle and adjustable joints near the frame. build a new x-member for the tranny and take the arms all the way back there.

i could sell most of my TTB stuff to pay for it i think. i'm gonna offer the axle guy $150 and tell him he can keep the arms and the track bar since i have to build new ones anyhow.

 

[88_Eddie]

welp, i got the D30 for $150.....looks like i'm SASing

 

[1986broncoiister]

sweet i was thinking the same thing but i think i will just start collecting parts unless i can find lift brackets

 

[88_Eddie]

all my TTB stuff is gonna be for sale soon....lift brackets, radius arms, etc. everntually i'll sell the coils too

 

[1986broncoiister]

well what would the price be on just the axle drop brackets or the whole thing

 

[brinker88]

First dibs on the lift/radius arms

 

[88_Eddie]

for the lift brackets, i'd do $70 shipped out to oregon.

for radius arms, not sure. i'd need to look into shipping (they're damn heavy) i'd probably want $300 plus shipping for them and the frame mounts. brand new bushings included in that as well. shock mounts just need to be welded on them, but i'd let the buyer do that so it would fit his rig/shock type better.
