Hi Everyone, Writting this to introduce myself and tell you all about my b2.
My name is Rich and I am from Northridge CA..Ground zero of the 7.6M EQ in 1994. My house was 300yards from epicenter. Authorities claim it was only 6.7M.
However my steelworker friend of mine who was sent to inspect most of the Hi-Rise in Los Angeles said the building are desigined to withstand an 8.0EQ....He found steel beams ripped is every Hi-rise in City of LA he inspected. I digress. It was only a day after I bought my B2. Did all my own repairs and Mods until 1997 when I got in an accident that should have killed me,However I did suffer from perminate nerve damage in my arms and legs that now prevents me from doing my own repairs.

My B2 blewout it's clutch after 150,000miles in 2003. Not being able to do my own repairs anylonger and living on disablilty I started saving all my nickles and dimes.LITERALLY!!
I saved all the change I had in my pocket end of the day...6 years later I saved enough to get my B2 back on the road. Today as I write this my b2 is getting new improved heads.
I have a 2.9 that came with the glass heads that crack if overheated ONCE! I put a new battery in back in May09 to see if the girl would start. Well Let me tell you...FIRED right up.
After sitting 6 years with bad gas. Right then I decided YES I'm putting the b2 back on the road. At that point I was thinking of getting another truck.
SO had a new clutch put in and the suspention rebuilt all around. Used skyjacker springs (sky138)with Pro-comp 3000 shocks front and HD Explorer rear leafsprings with procomp 3000 shocks...I bought the truck already lifted. I was told it was a factory lift....6in suspention lift , 6in bodylift. Interior is a burgandy red..This is the ONLY bronco I have ever saw Burgandy red. I will post pics soon.
Anyhow thats a little somthing about me and my b2 and TY all out there who post useful info and help.
Hope I can help someone some day here....
