Just scored a SA froma 95 wrangler for free. Not sure what to do with it. any Ideas?

Finished rattle cannin the paint job and got my pushbar put on.

Found a great deal on some tires. They aren't the size I wanted but 80 bucks for 4 tires with 90% tread. I can get by with that for awhile.

I'll probably be puttin my D35 in pretty soon, I have my F150 up and runnin. So I can tear into the B2's.

Need to solve some wiring issues with blue. Wanna paint it too. Need to trim the rear fenders or get some better leaf springs.

Got the drivetrain for my other B2, along with a set of axles from a cherokee. Going to sas my tan B2. Trying to do one project at a time.

The F150 only took a month, and I took it all the way down to frame. Thinkin I'll do tan that way too. Much easier to change engines and replace Harness with out a body in the way.

New springs... will exploder springs work?

As a temp fix for sagging springs I used air shocks in my B-II.

Installed F150 springs, lifted the rear about 5 inches. New tires, new driveshaft and new gas tank.

Got a hell of a rake on the truck. The rear is at 35" fender to ground, the front is at 31"

Saving up for a Rough Country lift. Will install my D35 at the same time.

Am I understanding correctly that you put F150 leaves in the back of your BII? If so what did they come off of a 2wd or 4wd, year range, and number of leaves they have. I have thought of trying that but havent gotten around to it yet.
