My original idea was to cut my hatch in half and put a tailgate in also. That way i could have access to the back without opening the talgate and having everything spill out

Well, I'm fine with this one being an auto, My other B2 has the M5OD. It'll be next on my project list. I wanna put a d35 in this one first, and I'll have to find a donor for my other B2. This one will be my dd, the next one will be my extreme. I'm thinkin sas and full width. I think I'll stay w the 4.0 tho.

I appreciate the thought, that's normally the way things go on here. Someone on the other side of the country has what you need.

I've got some new ideas spinnin in my head. Probably in the spring, I'm going to swap in my D35 from my other B2. Gonna build my own extended radius arms and new tranny crossmember. The duff kit is 600 bucks, but it doesn't look that hard to do. I have more time than money.:icon_welder:

Still need to swap my t case. Just trying to find the downtime.

Found a D44 SA for my other B2.

There is a guy over on broncoii.org that did a 2 piece hatch. Cut the hatch in half then used a Ranger tailgate. Its pretty badass, but then so is the opening window.
