Pics of my $100 B2

[Mud Addict]

Some pics of my B2, the one on the left is my newest B2. The one on the right was part of a trailer accident. It was running 36's and 3.45 gears, and yes it was wheelable with them LOL!!!







Built a back bumper today, just a 'lil shackle for pulling with







Added a 'lil metal to the front bumper. I almost feel sorry for anyone who gets in front of me



Built my window nerf bars, maybe windows will live longer now





Approaching the tree



Starting to get close, hit the front fender hard enough to not be able to open my door



And then i missed it with my window nerf



Built a new front bumper



A pic from Dec. 11, 2010 at Evan's Creek on the 520 trail

love the half doors

[Mud Addict]

Got the 34's on the B2!

[Mudhog1977]

like the doors and nerfs would like to know more bout the buildup

[Mud Addict]

Which part of build up do you want info on? I have pics of window bar build, can post if thats what you want I have done a lot of little things to this, am almost done with 5-speed swap and Duraspark.

[Mudhog1977]

The window nerfs and the rear bumper...what materials did u use? I thought about 5" channel for the rear bumper, I know lots mechanically, but still learnin the fab part dont know what works and what doesnt

[Mud Addict]

The rear bumper started out as a 6x6 square tube with 5/16 thick wall. I split it in two leaving me a top and back section of the bumper. Used a few pieces of same material to make the frame mounts. The shackle hanger is 1.25in thick steel plate with a 1in hole through it. I cut it so that there is more material behind the bumper. So if for some strange reason my welds broke, it is impossible for it to pull out of the bumper.

The window bars are made from 1.75 in DOM. They are mounted through the body, used a piece of tubing to prevent it from crushing, with another plate inside to spread the load out.

Got the B2 running again. Now is Durasparked with a 5-speed and 34's





Needs new plugs so I can time it, then is time for road test And still need to install front driveline
