Well after 2 years of pure hell my b2 has finally called it quits. Its not really messed up too bad I just think I blew out a wheel bearing which when the wheel bearing went the tire kicked out and broke the 4wd hub and who knows what else. I was doing about 70 mph on the interstate and about 5...

I just wanted to gloat a little bit about how tough my 86 B2 has been. It is completely stock and I have done things with it that some of my buddies full sizes have had trouble doing. This past weekend a friend of mine called me and said that he had a 35' driving RV that he needed help moving to...

Just curious I have heard that carb motors are not good for rock climbing. I have been told the issue is when the motor is tilted on extreme levels. I was just curious if anyone here has a carb motor that they have had at extreme angles. The reason I am asking is because I am looking at donor...

I am replacing the front pads on my 86 b2. I need it running by tomorrow afternoon. I have the old pads off and the new ones ready to go on and then i hit a snag. The clips that go on the inner brake pad.... is there suppose to be 2 clips per pad or is it just one? The new pads didn't come with...

Well I have been wheeling my b2 now for a little over a year and a couple of time I have found myself in deeper water than i needed to be in. I have thought about doing a snorkel kit and the ones I have seen that were kits you bought were running almost $1000. I was just curious if any other...

So about a month or so I went to a car show about 2.5 hours from my house. I took my 92 ranger 4.0 because I was hauling all of the luggage from my club. About 1.5 hours into the trip my truck started to overheat. So I pulled over and notice there wasn't any water in the radiator. No big deal it...

Well I have been repairing my 91 ranger and my 86 b2 and they are in the Frankenstein stage meaning all the parts are different colors. I was wanting to paint them both myself to just try my hand at painting. I know the technique just never actually tried it. Neither one of my vehicles have body...

I am working on cleaning up my old 91 Ranger and then I am going to juice (hydraulics) it. Right now I have 2 Pro-Hopper pumps, 4 cylinders, and 3 of the hoses so I have a few parts I have to collect first. I am just curious if there are any other rangers here on juice. I am not going to be...

Well since I have had my 91 Ranger the temp gauge has never worked. Well I am now in the process of trying to repair everything and get everything working. I was just curious if anyone could point out on the 4.0 where the temp gauge is located. I was just wanting to get it working because...

I am having issues with my 91 ranger's ac. There is no power at the plug for the blower motor or resistor. There is power at the fan switch on the panel. If I put my ohm meter from the blower motor to the fan switch I get a positive reading so that tells me everything in that circuit is good...

I am trying to get the a/c in my old ranger going and I have hit a few snags. First the ac compressor locked up and melted the connector that connects to it on top. So instead of fixing the guy just rerouted the serpentine belt and left the compressor out. So I know I have to get a new...

I have seen the headliner on LMC trucks that is made from ABS plastic and has the built in speakers in it. It says that it is available for standard cab but I do not see anything for the super cab. Anyone know if they make on for the super cab? Also anyone have any experience with this headliner?

Just curious if anyone knows if the dream beam for my ranger is something that someone can come across used? I had a ranger given to me for free, I wouldn't have started with a ranger as a beginner build. Just would like to lower the front end the right way without the $400 for just the dream beam.

Well I went to a buddies house last night to help get his old Toyota running and after about 3 hours there I tried to leave and my b2 wouldn't crank. It just keep spinning and spinning. Well I am very familiar with a bad fuel pump as this is my 3rd. I towed it home and got underneath it today. I...

I am looking at a Ranger on craigslist for $1000 with a crushed in cab. He says his son rolled the truck over. I am not going to pay that much for a crushed truck but I wanted to make sure it has the d35 axles that I can use in my 86 B2. It has the 4.0 v6 so that is a plus. Its a 1991.

Well made a trip to Durhamtown Plantation this weekend and it was a blast. The park is 6,000 acres and the brochure says it is the largest off road park in the U.S. The majority of the park is for dirtbikes, atvs, and side by sides but there is a large area for trucks. It was the first time I...

Ok I have been hanging out with some new buddies here lately and they are into the mini truckin. I have an 86 B2 and I have been into more 4x4 things. Well I got a 92 Ranger from my dad and have been thinking more and more about doing a static drop and then bag it. I know with the rangers you...

I am about to rebuild my 2.9 in my b2 and I was wondering if there are some systems that I can delete and the motor still run well. We just rebuild the motor in my buddies 85 Toyota and we deleted the majority of the smog stuff and even down to the power steering, but we got the motor down to...
