This is my next build, 86 B2. It's rough, but I'm gonna save it for my wife and kids to ride in.




Plans are to remove old lift and axles, remove body lift, install full width 44 and 8.8, 4.88 gears and lockers, simple leafs and coils with extended and heimed radius arms. Gonna stretch it to about 100" wheel base. Wanting to run a 37" or so tire. And going to build custom bumpers, sliders and maybe a simple interior cage.

Progress should start this weekend.

Rear axle all painted up, all welded up, and installed. Just need shocks and brake lines.



Got some coil buckets from thrill20, thanks!! Think I have a plan, on getting them in. Once those are in along with shocks, the front will come back apart for final weld and paint. Then on to steering and drive shafts.


I also picked up the new to me front clip, thanks Gary! I'm getting excited.
