My '88 trail B2
I bought my '88 B2 a few years back gradually began transforming into a trail rig: When I got it (next to my Ranger w/ 33's): http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f371/csb5731/b4.jpg After the SAS, Some trimming and MTR's: http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f371/csb5731/After1.jpg Early wheeling shot.

You could probably fit 35” tires with a 3” body lift and significant sheet metal trimming. Trimming in front is straightforward enough, but the rear is a PITA. More than an inch or so around the wheel opening is double-wall and into the cab. More importantly: In addition to any turning radius issues...

I know people swap the autos for manuals all the time, so I don't think that's an issue. All 1354 cases have a fixed yoke front output, which mates (I think always) with a double cardan front driveshaft. Almost all 1350 cases have a slip yoke front output, and these as far as I have seen always mate...

I think I went to Specialty Metals in Kent once (but might have been Kent Metal Supermarkets), when I lived down in that area. The gave me (free) a whole bunch of their remnants - I gave them 5 bucks for the donut fund. Still using some of the angle to this day. Although with todays steel prices I d...

Where are you NW WA guys getting steel?
I was wondering where you guys in the King/Snoho/Pierce county guys get your metal for your smaller fab jobs. The main one I go to (MEtal Supermarkets - Woodinville) I have to rely primarily on the remnants section because minimum order of "virgin" stock is to much for me to use/justify. B...

I like that rear bumper. My JD rear tube bumper got a little mangled last year after dumping the clutch on a steep hill and smashing against a boulder. I am now considering plagarizing yours. I bought the same rocker armor as you, but haven't installed them yet do to other projects and a little body...

All in all, this project was a little more than I was bargaining for given my limited expertise. On the positive side, the floor stiffened up nicely after I got the tubs riveted in, and despite the thin gauge metal the assembled tubs are very rigid. If I were to start over, I’d still just buy a big ...

Here’s one in place. The tub frame is riveted to the floor every two inches or so. My orignal plan was to weld the assembly in, but I figured this way will be easier to modify. I need to run a bead of seam sealer around the edges where the tub meets the body and where the frame meets the floor. When...
