glad i could be of some help....i'm still working on mine, gotta add some more stuff, but it's pretty much done. i gotta add some rails or something, if i get wild with it, the welder falls off

welded in the shock brackets and put the shocks on, man what a difference no shocks compared to shocks. also trimmed the fenders a little more just in case. took it for a drive and i am extremely happy. The 3.73 gears and 37's arent bad, the clutch is nicely set up so its really simple to drive but it is a slouch( cant wait to get the 5.13 gear might be sooner that i taught , my girlfriend is paying for the gears and cage ). I only took it up to 3rd gear and everything feels sturdy, still need the alignment and inspection , the temp guage is reading at between m-a so it kinda worries me since its almost 3/4 but my buddy told me that it was the clutch fan? what do you guys think???

Its ready no more overheating the brakes are bleed and she is purring I got an appointment with the guy for the alignment on Friday and tomorrow for the registration drove her a good amount today make sure the fan was working good. its ready to rock and roll sat im gonna drive her out to my dads house which is a hour drive an brake her is some more Its been a busy week with finals for the semester here and working on the truck

lol ya , well im getting an itch for a truck so im right now split between a extended cab ranger or a f150 extended cab. I dunno, but any ways this BII still has some goodies comming to it. When money permits, the cage, 5.13 and pre runner fenders, new hid's, roof rack and on board air from vivair.

Well i got it aligned and had some time to mount my high lift

also wanted to put my jumper cables and some tools in the back and to keep it from being all over the place i mounted two military ammo cans and perfect fit

I going to take it out this week end and see how it does on some sand and on some rocks

 

[elpoffroad]

I little progress today, got my other d shackle welded in and bolted in my battery box from ruff stuff. Everything went smooth tomorrow just going to mount my large ammo box to carry spare fluids and going to make the wholes for my front license plate Week end is almost here almost time to take it wheeling.

Alright well today i ended up doing something different
I put my cheappy walmart deck in to play some tunes it sounds good for 40 bucks

 

[88_Eddie]

the cd player in my EX has been screwing up lately. i cant listen to a cd right after i put it in, i have to wait 30 minutes or so. it flickers too. been thinking about gettin that same one, hope it lasts. lol

 

[elpoffroad]

ya i hope it last also but overall i hope it just last since its only a trail rig but time will tell

i like it for the usb input. my ipod is old as shit, like it's one of the first ones that came out and plugging it in is the only way it will work. should work fine. just buy a new one if it stops working and put the old one in the box and return it. F walmart, they can take a $40 loss

 

[elpoffroad]

Oh just came back inside and bolted on another larger ammo can for spare fluids

oh its coming along quite nicely
