i went and picked up some Belltech 6400 drop lowering shackles, gonna be installing them tomorrow hopefully..........(beltech 6400 lowering shackles give rangers and B2's about 1.5-2" of lift) my rear bumper is so heavy that its sagged the rear down an inch so i go tthe shackles to raise it back up

okay, got my last shock mounted, and the rear bumper done, also put my plate on it and changed the spark plugs

really all that is left is a radiator (its leaking between the tank and the cores) and finish supporting the front bumper

heres the rear bumper mounted (it looks really wide, but my tires are still wider then the bumper)

amd i had my first mishap...........

i popped the coil out (LF) when i lifted the front tires off the ground, the eyelet i put on to retian the bucket bent outward and released the coil (i replaced it with another eyelet and welded it closed so it cannot pull apart again)

well i made the mayden voyage with the B2 on the pavement today.......

took a 60 mile round trip to my shop and did an alignment on it, heres my specs on the front

Camber
LF 0.4 RF 0.3
Caster
LF 4.6 RF 4.9
and Toe
LF 0.09 Rf 0.19
Total Toe 0.28

its drivable up to 55 mph, after that the vibrations are pretty bad (the rear two 36's are not balanced and my drive shaft angle is pretty bad)

but i do need to stiffen p the gear box, it has alot of play

also got some new logos made for our club

beat it up pretty good at the gig

I was the 1st one to try the tank trap, made several attempts, i think pre4runner was the only truck to try it more then me (and he made it further then i) but on saturday i was pulling a yj out of the tank trap when both my RF ball joints ripped apart taking out my axle shaft. Ended up buying two balljoints and changed them out in the woods, got it put back together and driveable (3wd, god i love being locked frt and rear) caved the fender in a little when the ball joints gave but only cosmetic so i don't care. Truck seemed to do fine, i was happy on how it performed.
