disciplerocks's B2 build thread

She drives! ......well at least she did.

Got it bolted up. I decided to do what this person did here http://therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46418&highlight=1210

I only got 2 holes drilled and my bit went dull. The bolts I had bought ended up being too short so I found a couple laying around. I know for a fact they weren't grade 8. So, I only had 2 weak bolts in it, but decided to take a drive anyway. Drove great for a little bit, until I snapped the bolts. Had to take the shaft back out and drive home with only fronts wheel drive.

Still don't have shocks mounted in the back. She's pretty bouncy. I can really tell a difference with the 3.73s though. So much easier to drive.

Should have some softer springs for the front coming soon. Will be much better than my F150 springs.

I felt it last night while taking on a test drive. After I got home I pulled the tires off and cranked down on the leaf spring u bolts. Some were a little loose. Thought that was it, but I guess not.

 

[B2Guy]

like railman said. it could be a wheel out of balance or maybe even an out of balance drive shaft.

 

[railman]

also, you do have the front hubs unlocked....cause if ya don't the unbalanced front shaft will shake ya to death....

l8r, John

 

[disciplerocks]

I'll check. I don't remember unlocking them last night, but it feels like its coming from the rear.
