My Bronco 2

[4.0B2]

i'm working on that link still lol. i'm on page 17... lol

heat sucks. but hey, i'm in MS, we don't have springs either. so whatever! i just deal. i got 2 6 foot fans.. so i deal

The first page of the link was enough for me. I will say that if I was building a rig for that kind of offroading, jumping, etc...it would have to be TTB.

 

[4.0B2]

no doubt... that's the way to go.

so after my subs sell, i'm gonna have about $900 to finish my 8.8 swap (shocks is only thing i need) and to do my d35 build and swap.

so if i make my brackets-- (free)
extend my stock arms...w/ joints-- dom-no clue($80ish??), not sure size i need yet /joints-80
hubs-- JY price around $20ish probably
gears-- hopefully i find a used set! around $75-100
steering-- hopefully keep it around $200
shock towers-- already bought
shocks -- no clue again
custom sway disconnects-- CHEAP! lol
coil springs were free!

what else? so what i'm trying to figure a price on, i'm at like $500 plus some odds and ends...

and no, i'm not planning on locking the front yet. not till after tires and winch! winch will be a SB 8k steel cable one. btw...

unfortunatly its all the nickle and dime shit that ends up being the most $.

i do have manual hubs off my 97 ext cab that is now gone still but i figure the shipping from here to there would be the same as your junkyard

 

[4.0B2]

yeah... shipping sucks! lol

and yeah, i know that small stuff will kill you.. always does!

ujoints, bearings, crap here and there, thingamiggers that go over yonder... dang! lol

 

[4.0B2]

for anyone curious-- i think that ttb jeep steering thingy starts here

and i can already tell you, its not for me!!!! lol.. to much money.


think i might go something like dustin has on his. unless i can find a k-link cheap/used

 

[dangerranger83]

Thats ALL I saw in that thread was money.

Shocks for my truck after the SAS were $100 for 2 of them, so I have $200 in shocks on my truck alone. I used summits search tool thing that helps you find what you need buy clicking on what your application needs and then you go from there on what they have. I t really worked out nice for me.

My SAS alone costed $1500. Now include the other things such as the tires, rims, and the engine swap, that has put me over $3000 and Im not yet done yet. Need to go update my cost list now.....

 

[kris97ranger]

lol wait till you get to the end of that thread and he converts the steering again. full hydro steering but still aa k link i think.

what about the style of steering thats on aaron c truck? swing set

 

[4.0B2]

I stil now nothing about it...

JY trip time! Lol even tho it's not for me. Going to help my dad. But I'm gonna scope out the explorers. See what I can find.

 

[kris97ranger]

it really seems like the best option to me unless you go the way that legoms did (but even then i think this would be simpler)

its hard to see but theres actually 2 bars comming off the pitman arm, you box in the pitman arm like kyle M did."

so then one car comes off that to the passenger knuckle following the same plane as the passenger beam and the 2nd bar that came off goes horizontal to a swinger on the passenger side framerail then from there to the drivers side beam.

plus it looks all fancy for your shows lol

 

[4.0B2]

Well there's no manual hubs on our JY lot. And only 4.10 gears were a ifs standard cut. The 8.8 disc brake with 4.10's would be nice. Lol. I already have one...

 

[kris97ranger]

Well like I said if you can't find any closer I do have some..

 

[4.0B2]

Check the approx price on shipping. See what's going on. I'll keep checking more locally

 

[4.0B2]

so i'll have hubs coming soon. Kris' ranger will live on as a part of my b2. lol
my shock towers will be in Tuesday

 

[kris97ranger]

lol ill get them boxed up today and sent out tommorow after work.

yea it sucks all i have left of that truck is the exhaust tips that are on my f150 and the grille/hedder panel/headlights..... one day it will be re-made the way i was about to do my 97
