Noooo, not off road anyway. On road they're worlds quieter and don't have the "bias ply hop" til they warm up. But that's not to say I don't like them off road either, they're great. Just not as great... Haha.

Well, not heaps to update... although I did finally get around to painting and mounting my half doors. And I put my MSD ignition in a couple weeks ago. Got my gears and front locker for the D35. Going to pull everything apart, get the beams and rear housing sandblasted before I reseal and throw them in there. Also, didn't get a picture, but I picked up an M5OD and all the goodies to go with, as well as a 10 inch clutch. Will do axle swap and trans. swap all at the same time. Fun. Pictures!



Crane coil and MSD 6A box.

Went wheelin' last weekend. Found a few sweet new trails, and this rock happened to be on the side of the trail. So I poser'd it. :headbang: It's actually a really big rock...




Shot of the half doors before paint, and you can see what I did for a handle.


CUPHOLDER!



Here's the mounted doors, and another shot of the handle... any questions just ask!


Aaaaaaaand... a mirror to keep me legal. Great use for the useless floppy flag mirrors.



Happy time. 4.56's and D35 locker... yo!

Thanks! I've yet to try them out off-road, but I already like having them on. :D

And I'm so stoked to have lower gears in this thing, it needs them something fierce. My Ranger is pretty awesome with 4.56's, so I know the 2.9/4.56/33 combo works alright.

I like your doors too! Very good work..I like the extra little touch of a cup holder.

How does it respond to the new ignition?

It responds VERY well to the new ignition, I could really feel a difference. Now I'm working on porting the intake and making full-floating rockers.

Took it out wheelin' today, love the doors. You can see EVERYTHING. Awesome.

^Lol yeah. There was a couple times I was wondering if you were going to look forward in time.

Your B2 is awesome looking. I have been contemplating rattle can paint and some fender trimming.
