Hey ZMan.... It really depends on how many years your talking? If I had to guess your thinking of the 88 I had that I did the chop top on!

Coincedently the 1987 Sitting next to the old 88 is the one I have now!

So basically the nice shiny blue and silver 87 went from this:

to this: (skipping ALOT of modified TTB lifting)

To how its seen today:

ofcourse there is alot of the transformation i'm leaving out... which is where a build thread would be nice! But you get the idea!

mtnrgr,

First off thanks for the comments and compliments! Much appreciated!

As for gears I'm running yukon 5:13s with ARB's front and rear!

The JD coils are great! For a VR coil they flex alot! Nice comfortable ride on the highway too! And ofcourse the JD long travel RAD arms are a must! Designed specifially for an SAS on a BII! Costly, but makes things a breeze!

Cheers

so where can i get that front bumper??

 

[Downey]

that is a sweet rig

 

[jims89broncoII]

thats a duff front bumper isnt it?

 

[85DANGERanger]

really? looks fairly new, i thought duff quit making front bumpers awhile back??

 

[Nemisus]

Both the front and the rear bumpers are from Duff! The front is the thier winch mount and the rear is their Tire Carrier/gas can mount! I just don't have the tire carrier part of it on as I used the rack I made for the spare!

87Danger, looks new because I just painted it a few days ago! A little rattle can goes along way for make things look new!

From what I can tell the JD website doesn't list the front any longer!

thanks again for the comments!

Cheers

Finally got the Bushwacker cut-outs installed! Out of all the things you'd think simple.... these were far from it!

Anyhow... all said and done they look good!

Honestly, the sexiest BII ive seen so far! Hands Down!! Make sure to show us pic of how it plays in the mud...

Thanks 96Greenster,

Thats one hell of a compliment! Seeing how its currently raining outside, the comming weekend just might prove perfect for a test run!!

I am definately eager to get the nice white paint job dirty!

Which buddy? Which tire? Are you talking about the Black and silver Chop top pictured above?

If so those are the old TXR's that schwabs used to sell! Not available anymore!

Also, that chop top used to be mine! The picture was to reference the blue and sliver BII that is now mine.... currently pictured in this thread!

Sure hope that made sense...
