Andres629's still at it! '87 BII this time!

[kris97ranger]

If you do alot of highway the taller tires get you better fuel efficancy. Muddin b-3000 on here got one a while ago and it has 4" exhaust and an intake ( tuners not installed yet) and he was saying he gets 15. Mpg I do believe and he's on 35s stock hieght

What happened? You get that diesel and forget about the B2?

 

[4.0B2]

I was wondering the same thing? No b2 updates???? What the crap?

 

[Andres629]

I'm in the middle of a move, and the diesel needed a little work before being a roadworthy DD. Diesel is all good to go, got EVERYTHING I need to start on the BII, just waiting on shop space now. So for the time being, BII is just waiting in line to get inside.

 

[kris97ranger]

does everything include tires?

 

[railman]

now .......GET TO WORK ON THE BII

l8r, John

 

[Andres629]

Everything includes tires. Got me some 37x14 IROK bias with Inner Air Lock. But yeah, I mean everything, right from TRE's to to pitman arm to... everything. I want this thing done NOW, I wanna wheel hard!

Still gonna have to do break in on those gears in the D44, they were setup but never run... Don't want ya trashing them on the first run out!

 

[Andres629]

I've gotta do the same for the rear gears to, so I was going to do the same for the fronts. Good to know, thanks Andrew!

 

[n_bannerman]

Andres, what are the specs on your beadlock wheels? wanting to do something similar for tires on my ranger. do you have any rubbing at full stuff and lock with the front tires?

 

[Andres629]

Specs on the old beadlocks were 15x10 rim, 4" backspace, 6" offset with 35x12.5 MT/R-K's. It rubbed a little bit at full stuff on the inner fender (metal inner apron part) but there was nothing I could do for that, short of cut it all out.

 

[Andres629]

Well, I haven't been around for a while. I guess I'll do a slight update. Nothing new to report, other than I have shop space starting next week sometime. The Blazer that got a backhalf/linked/cage that has been occupying the majority of the shop is gonna be out Tues./Wed. so Wednesday or Thursday I'm pulling in the BII and starting the tear down! Once everything is apart, it's getting a few changes I guess. I've decided I'm going to part out my '92 so I'll be using the dash/wiring from it, but just until I build up my 4.0. I'm going to cut the rear floor to run my Chevy 63's with the flipped shackle for a bit better flex out back. Other than that, I think the plan is pretty much clear: low and wide. Decided I'll run hydro-assist to help point those big ol' 37's where they need to be, so I need to get all that crap. But year... good times.
