'89 BII, startin with leafs

[midget]

Hmm idk bout that its just a rule at the local club grounds yu have to have a cage if you dont have a roof or doors. What you could do as another option would be half or tube doors. Same benefits as no doors and is legal theres a a few guys that check are regs on www.pirate4x4.com forum that are wheeling some pretty intense rockcrawlers and drive them on the street so I would ask them.

O and yeah my truck is ugly but its a fun lil toy im on my 3rd set of doors trees dont agree with me very much I need a to redo the front clip but its a waste of time.

so ya weld the rear yet? im thinking about doing it myself but then again its my DD. so idk how fast id wear out my tires and wheel hop could be a issue

 

[alpinestar]

ya im gonna just make half doors, i seen a cherokee driving around today with half doors and i definitly love the look.

Mikey:
nope never did weld it. guess im too lazy but im afraid im gonna break it, we have c clip axles and if you break an axle the shaft and tire and all will just fall right out. im kinda tossin the idea around still htough. maybe i'll weld it up like a week before i put a 9" in it or something, so i have something to replace it if i absolutely must. but i definitly will weld up my next rear end. and ya tires wear fast, but its still fun to drive in the rain hahaa

i had a 84 i welded the front and rear, never broke the rear i had 31" baja claws on it, i beat the mess out of it, took it to river rock in milledgeville ga, uwharrie nc, gulches in sc, never broke the rear, but the dana 28 thats a different story lol

 

[alpinestar]

ya to helll with the dana 28. i have the dana 30 out of a wrangler up front right now. but yea it seems like EVERY SINGLE PERSON i talk to that has welded their rear axle up are very happy with it and have never had a problem or never broke it.. crazy.. it must be a sign haha..

i have a 97 it was a 2wd i have swapped in a 8.8 out of a exploxer with 3inch toyota springs, and i have a d30 for the front was gonna do a 3 link but now im just trying to get it under there now so im doing leafs, but i dont know what size to get, the toyota springs gave me about 6inchs or so

 

[alpinestar]

well im using 2" rancho wrangler springs and ive only got about 4" of lift. which sucks alot cuz i wanted more... but i also have 9" shackles that sit pretty much straight back...

 

[RacinNdrummin]

Why did you move your front spring mounts from under the frame to the outside of the frame?

 

[midget]

Idk why he did but I did that so I wouldnt have to move the spring perches on the front axle... I have 2" lift CJ springs on my 88ranger and its about as high as it was with a 4"ttb lift it doesnt get any lower but has alot of droop im afraid my driveshaft will be a goner..

ya i moved my mounts out because it was too narrow on the axle and it wouldnt work so i moved them to where they are now and they work great. that was the mistake i made doing this, and it cost me a couple days cuz i was discouraged and mad that i had to cut my mounts back off. thats why i say always tack everything together first. then when you know for sure its perfect, weld it up. thats what im doin with my new bumper too...

speaking of which, i'll post some pics this weekend when i finish it. probably like sunday i think, im gonna be camping all weekend.

 

[dangeranger01]

[89REDRANGER]

Nice swap! Mine is coming together slowly. I'm on a TINY budget, so I have to wait for good deals or free stuff to come my way. I ain't afraid to use other people's junk and make it work for my needs.
