Im sure Matt (Nobody), Dbrown agree with me when I say, as long as the bashing doesnt take away from the topic and the language is the same as you would find in a 4x4 shop then who cares. Atleast thats how I view it. Fair enough. But just an FYI: I keep things WAY tamer on the net than when I'm in ...

Or it could be the same deal that keeps you from posting elswhere. Not possible. AFAIK, none of the mods here have head-up-their-own-rectum syndrome the way Redshred/Muddy Juggalo does. Besides, I've never been "officially" banned from either 2XO or TRS. I left 2XO 100% voluntarily (and I...

Yup. The only things about a chop top that require $$ are rollover bracing and the soft top. DON'T cheap out on either one (unless you're in a desert with no rain. Then the top is optional). Other than that, a chop top DD is totally do-able. More stable (measured in orders of magnitude!), lighter(by...

I disagree....The narrow track of the BII is an asset in the situations that it was designed for. That's what gives the Zukes a bit of an advantage. Narrow track=tighter turning radius. Yeah, the Rangers have enough length to compensate when cornering. No idea if it was an issue on the rest of the T...

Okay, so the one PIVOT BRACKET is different. I stand corrected. Placement is the same, though. But no engine X-member swap is required the way it is in a Ranger. And I don't know about yours, but my engine doesn't have a "cradle". Its all grown up, and uses a crossmember (or "X-member...

Two very simple solutions...
1) Drive it like a 4x4 not a sports car (amazing how many morons don't know the difference!)

2) Chop the top (like the FS Bronco) Drops the CofG by a HUGE amount, and increases stability dramatically :redneck:

Kinda like TRS, but they don't wear their panties quite so tight. A bit more oriented towards stock height and lowering, but a decent site none the less. They also have a sister-site, offroadrangers.....

Re: Dana 35 on 89 B2

I just couldn't get my story straight because I heard it at www.TheRangerstation.com Uhm..........no, I'm not gonna touch THAT one :redneck: (YAY! Finally got my favourite smiley!) The nice thing about converting a BII is that usually they have the "dummy" T-case, so you get to save the c...

The different placement of pivot brackets on a 2wd is only in the Ranger. All BII's used the 4x4 configuration. 2wd BII I-beams won't fit a 2wd Ranger, but should bolt right up to a 4x4 Ranger (not that it would make sense to do so...)

The front shaft should be fine as-is (I ran a stock front with 6" in a BII with ZERO problems for a few years). For the rear, just measure the space from the T-case to the pinion flange and have the rear shaft shortened so that the "at rest" length puts the slip shaft in the middle of...

Measure up the FRONT driveshaft from an early model Explorer. It is about 1.5" longer than a stock 84 T/K 5-speed rear shaft, has bigger U-joints, and takes very little fabrication to bolt in. Solved my driveshaft grenading problems...
