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.

Burned around the block with it last night, made it back home. Even got the "that things a beaut" comment from a friends wife lol


It is a dog, not gonna be able to dd with this motor/trans/gear combo. Either gonna swap a 4.0 or go to a 5.0...time and money will tell. Still runs around good in low range though.

Next on the agenda is body protection, rust repair and paint.

Well Sunday is the day to say good bye to this B2, think I will miss it, but the next project should be even better.

Just gotta build a bumper and some sliders for the new owner.

Sliders done




From bumper, winch mount us next.


Swapping them Sunday, hope to have it all done by then.
