disciplerocks's B2 build thread

[dangerranger83]

Nice B2 you have there. Wish my SAS was done so I can go get my truck nice and muddy.

Only place Ive really heard of wheeling in Indiana is the Badlands, but I really havent looked into other places either.

 

[disciplerocks]

Well you are not very close, but thanks

Guess what came in the mail yesterday...

(The other radius arm bracket was already on the truck)
From a quick Google image search, it appears to be a Superlift kit.

Got home from work about 4 today and I just crawled out from under the truck 30 minutes ago. Got everything together and the toe adjusted pretty close. I'll finish aligning it tomorrow after work.

Does that mean you are going to be ready for Interlake Sunday?

 

[disciplerocks]

Hells yeah. Just swapped out my DIY brackets for these.

 

[disciplerocks]

Well I drove her to work today and it still needs a LOT of toe adjustment. I don't really know why. Also noticed that I have a bit of negative camber now. I guess the new brackets lowered the axle a bit more than my other ones. Going to throw in a few more washers under my coils when I get home to adjust.

 

[disciplerocks]

Camber adjusted. And lifted it a tad in the process. Toe also adjusted, but not totally sure its completely straight. I'll find out tomorrow.

Tow hooks added for Interlake tomorrow

Had a lot of fun at Interlake today. At least until the damn Dana 28 decided to come apart. Cut my day short, but it left enough time to hit up the junkyard for a Dana 35 with 3.73 gears.

 

[97TrailRigDD]

Damn , you've been busy this afternoon .

 

[disciplerocks]

Lol yeah. Would have never gotten it out before they closed without Katie's help. Same truck had a locked 7.5 rear. Thinking about getting it if I don't find a 8.8 one.

 

[86 slo-vo]

locked or limited slip?

 

[disciplerocks]

Oh, idk. Tag said 3L73

 

[B2Guy]

do you have any pictures of your homemade brackets? id like to see them.

isnt that L in 3L73 for limited slip?

 

[86 slo-vo]

yea thats just a limited slip, wont do ya a whole lot of good in the dirt...

IMHO id go 8.8, the 7.5 just isnt worth putting any money into

 

[railman]

make sure to double check the spindle nuts to see if they are for auto hubs....

and your D28 lock outs won't fit the D35....
