86 b2000 first timer (slow but sure!)

sweet project man. Make me want to get eskies for my B even more now. Interested in that sub/blow through system and how to do it right. Have a 86 reg cab that needs bass but deff not able to fit my 15's in that tiny ass cab and always thought about just porting through the bed into the cab kinda like yours is but didnt want to deal with leaking an such.
Anyways nice B man and post pics up lol we love pics here and build stories

Thanks guys for the support and REsuperGRX7 I wouldn't recommend the blow thru setup mine was already cut when I bought it and I like it but I still have a lot of work to get it right... If I could've made the choice first I would've made a center console and housed one 12, I have found that 2 12s is kind of overkill! And yes eskies will transform your ride! They look as good as any other aftermarket wheels in my opinion better than some.

Small update, got started installing 6x9s in the b pillars...


Not much else I've been mostly working on moving

Another small update... New corner lenses don't know if I should smoke them or not... What u guys think??


Sorry for the boring posts guys but I promised myself that I would post any/everything I do to my truck.

Nothing boring here. My build is slow and small too but gonna post what I can. Us B lovers... well... love the B's lol. Any reading is good reading.

I ordered some door handle filler plates today.



^this is why u don't use fiberglass for a filler.



Got started moving too. I need to cut my bumpstops though, its kind of a bitch riding on bumpstops...

CUT YOUR BUMP STOPS!!!!! NO WAY!!! This is a GREAT way to bend your axle housing which would obviously be NO bueno! If you are looking for more out of a static drop, do a 4" tube frame notch... Here... I drew up a quick diagram for you. This is what I will be doing because I dont wanna cut my bed to c-notch it. This type of notch will add more than you're looking for. It will remove the bump stops and add the ability to go at least 4" lower without having to worry about bottoming out.

I do plan on c notching the frame soon but I need to use this as a moving vehicle... Couldn't ijust remove my bumpstops? I only Wanna do so because I only have like 1' between the frame and bumpstops. Ifni removed them I would have a few more inches. I thought lots of people removed/cut their bumpstops. I have my fronts removed and have had zero problem. Thank you for the post though and I haven't done anything yet... But i need more rear suspension travel. And I don't have the c notches yet. I will be getting some here soon

I personally have not had any issues with removing bump stop! But be cautious n use common sense when loading don't over load:(
