short on funds so i thought i'd do the grunt work thats time consuming and cheap


its a real PITA cleaning off 21 years of Michigan

 

[CheapThrillB2]

had to make some repairs to the rear 4 body mount holes in the frame (common problem with salt belt B2's

frame is cleaned and primered,

Looking well thought out. I always liked the B2's, I seen one once that a guy put a TBI axle under the front and rear, wheeled like a real spider..

Made some measurements and compared them to the old TTB vs the SAS........

from the ground to the bottom of the diff on my D35 TTB with my Iroks it was 8"s

From the ground to the bottom of the diff on my D44 with my iroks it is 12"

looking good man... but why do it in the middle of the wheeling season???

 

[CheapThrillB2]

cause i broke my explorer

 

[88mudder]

awesome start! It will be a badass rig .

Since the axle is a 77 are you gonna cut off the radius arm wedges and move them in? I know that is what most of the EB guys do.

 

[CheapThrillB2]

no i am leaving them where they are, i built new coil mounts on the axle tonite just inside of the wedges

 

[CheapThrillB2]

taken a break for dinner and a little interent time.........heres what i am working on tonite

nothing is finished, still in the design process

 

[frdtrckmnrich]

I would beef up those spring mounts and tie the radius arm mounts together. Do you have any bolts going thru the bottom of the frame on your radius arm mounts?

 

[CheapThrillB2]

the radius arms wilbe be tied together when i build the trans x member, i just need to get the trans and tcase in and see where they sit vs where my driveshaft is.........their will be bolts going through the bottom on the radius arm mounts.....the spring mounts are no where near done yet........and before its asked NO i am not using that steering set-up just put it their to keep the tires from toeing in when i move the it around
