imagine how much more room you would have if you ditched the subs.

had A LOT of interest in my b2 today at the Big M car show.. not as much as some of the fully built jeeps but hey... who cares lol

sucks how jeep's get soo much attention and 99% of them it's all just bolt on mod's
i wheel with a buddy that has one and yeah most of it is just bolt on shnit. tried like heck to get him to swap in some fullwidth's but he decided to sell it and start from scratch on somthing different

****'em we know what quality work and custom stuff looks like, your rig is awesome

 

[kroussinoffroad]

how often do you get asked where you bought your front bumper?
I get shnit like that all the time. where did you get your bumper's, where did you get yer lift, and what i hate the most is man you got a nice YOTA. GGRRRRRRRR

Thanks... Hoping to add to the awesome factor this summer with the axle swaps and 33's.

And kroussin- I had 4 people yesterday at the show aak about where to get a bumper like that. I'm like it's custom. There are some that look like it. But none just like it! I had 2 guys staring at my b2 and the crew cab suburban (go thru the link to all the pics and you'll see it) bc of the fact that we can't just go online and Click and build a rig like jeeps can. I will say that we have some nice jeeps in the club. Not all are bolt on jeeps. Some are... Any of them spyder offroad has messed with have every detail considered.

And I've only ever had my b2 called a jeep..not a yota lol. Idk why they think mine is a jeep tho...

i think the mazda grill throw's them off in my truck.

 

[kris97ranger]

i always get my samurai called a jeep... i hate it its worse now cause my newest truck is a sj410 which has a similar grille to a jeep. its just gonna get worse....

yeah.. to the average person an suv for offroading is a "jeep"... idk why. i don't think mine looks anything like a jeep.. but then again, i dont' think i'm 'the average person when i hear a truck crank in a parking lot and i'm like "that's a ford" or "that's a dodge" so.... what do i know.

I'm with you on that one. They all have their distinct sound.

So plans for tomorrow since all I have to do I think is a dentist appt--

Build a single 10" sub box. Not the one pictured above bc I started one and the mdf is basically cut already.
Mount the cb and wire it- minus the firestik bc it's not in yet. Gonna try to find a place to mount the antenna tho.
And maybe put some blue strobes I have in the grille just bc I can. They are the led wig wag strobes. Don't hook into the headlights or anything like that.

Now watch- bc I have plans I'm gonna end up having to work

and i think i've made up my mind to do my sas myself instead of having Spyder Offroad in Horn Lake do it... just kinda wanna do it myself ya know?

plan is to use some Rusty Long Arms. took some measurements of a set on a tj and i think they will work great. think this is what kroussin is using to. the set is like $470. the track bar mount i think i'll make or get one from ruffstuff. idk yet about the arm mounts for the frame- those should be easy to make right?

how do i go about finding out how long my track bar needs to be?

I would mock up the axle, measure then get an adjustable so that your covered

 

[4.0B2]

yeah that's probably my best option. gonna order my coil springs tomorrow... getting them from a guy on here. then gonna get the rest of my steering stuff this week hopefully.

gonna look into making a template of the brackets i need. or just order some of the stuff. i've got a lot of 1/4" steel left from my front bumper. was gonna be for the rear bumper but... i want these axle swaps finished. still need brake stuff for the d30. need to start getting that stuff together. might go to pull a part wednesday and get most of it. rotors and pads i'll buy new. gotta get u-joints for the axles to.

i'm trying to think of everything.. so if i forgot something chime in and tell me!
