Heres mine. Ive owned this one for about 3 months now. I blew a hub in the last big snow fall out here... Im also preparing it for the local Air Care test now. ( Air Pollution test I guess you could call it ). Then have to find out why all the time I go over some harsh terrain it boggs out and dies on me. After that Ive got a set of 31's I want to throw under it.

My B2 in its element

Well almost, got high centered on the edge. Look at all that mud in the bottom. This was a great day with hill climbs, creeks and mud. The back diff is locked, the front is open, D28 ohh my, only broke the front once.

This was at the Badlands in Atica Indiana.

Wheel on.

Hey Chucky how do you go about getting a soft top for these trucks?? Ive thought about doing that as well like the full size ones had/have.. Is it something that has to be custom ordered from somewhere or ???

Here's my 89 ranger build in progress. It's done now wrapped in it's tarp cucoon waiting for the weather to get a little warmer to test it out:

On the trailer with 36" swampers, it will run with 33's, 35's, 38.5 boggers, and 39.5 cut boggers:



Early on before the rear suspension/ladder bars were set up:



Cut stock hood to make a nice 4.5" cowl hood:



And the bed with all of the junk in it while we were building it. The only thing there now is the radiator, tranny cooler, fuel cell, and fuel pump:



And of course the "stock" motor shown on the stand during assembly:

Hey... What do ya know.. I finally had the right answer.. I was thinking of a boat shop but wasnt all that sure. So my theory was right then. See Ive got the same idea. I want to chop the top of mine but wasnt so sure if I was right. Another Idea that I have is to put a drip rail up and over it to keep the rain out when the top is on. But dont know if that idea is possible

Not really. I took good even measurements from center and ran them down the hood, made my cuts and from there I took 2 pieces of thin sheet metal and made z tabs and tacked them in the rear bottom to get the height, then used a piece of 1" tube to slide down and make a bend so that the front wouldn't have such a sharp bend, but a gentle roll. From there I cut the side pieces by marking 1 up and then making an exact copy. Tacked them all in place, eyeballing and measuring to square and evenness. Then welded for final and now it's sitting in body filler and primer waiting for spring to get a new coat of paint.

Duel 102's??????? They'll cancel each other out man. You dont have 102" from one end to the other end of the bumper. They'll either cancel each other out or make you so directional your CB will only shoot your signal out the opposite end. ( just my 2 cents )
