You could drop a dana 35 up front and a manual Tcase and you would be back to wheeling. for that matter a dana 28 for light wheeling It would be a nice weekend project. BTW Nice Rig..

Wait a minute.. I am confused.. You just got the camo B2 correct?

The camo rig isn't 4X4? I was looking at camos' front hubs and they are manual locking type correct?

Wouldn't that mean the camo one does not work in 4X4?

Its been a long day and I am still confused so I will sleep on it and get back to ya tomorrow.

If I remember correct the front suspension uses the same mounting brackets. And just yank out the dummy t-case and install a real one. :cool:

You do need to change the frame brackets on the left front. Just use the one from a B2 4X4.

I have done it before and it is not rocket science. If a broken up old wheelchair riding biker can do it anyone can.

Give it a go,

You know all of you people suffering out across our nation in this heat wave I wish you all speedy relief. Kinda makes not having a summer in the Northwest real easy to take.

On another note I hate angry people too. I was in front of an apartment house one day and there was a domestic dispute up on the upper floor. Next thing I know he is screaming from the parking lot back at the other party. They yelled back and forth down to the parking lot and the subject in the lot got pissed off turned around and kicked out my tail lights just because my car was there. sometimes ya just never win.
I got the SOB later but that is another story...
