got the brakes done earlier and its awesome being able to stop now! brake warning lights still on, anyone now why? also my vigorous shake is gone, used to happen around 55 but now it dosnt. there was brake parts in the bottom of the drum when i popped it off maybe thats why?

Low fluid, bad brake fluid level sensor, or parking brake switch will make the light come on.

does anyone know how to put a headlight reminder on the switch itself? the reminder noise i mean, being an old truck mine dosnt have it but i cant imagine its that difficult to install. i park alot of places and just hangout and alot of times ill leave either my marker lights or headlights on and not realize it until i either get out of the truck or i just happen to look at the switch

It should have one already, lots of people take em out cause they can be annoying. Your truck should have left the factory with one. Hit up he local junk yard for a good used one, there should be a hanging plug under your dash for it.

ill have to look, thanks man! also today i decided against lifting my truck because it dosnt seem logical for its uses. i dont rock crawl or go anywhere extreme so the new plan is just meatier 235-75-15 tires which hopefully i can get with tax money this year

I made the same choice as to not lift mine either. Today's adventure for the B2 was new wheel bearings. Only to find my front brake lines were dry rotted. So new bearings, brake lines, and a good old brake bleeding...

Good looking rigs i recently got my hands on a 87 bronco 2 in the middle of converting it to 4x4 allready done with the 4.0 clutch swap

Where are the pictures? I just got a visor for mine from the scrap yard. Also had the luxury of installing a new hydraulic clutch Master Cylinder in the cold.

If you can swing it, IMHO you will be better off with both trucks. The B2 is a much better choice for off-road - much more aftermarket support (there is no support for the Dakota). Also, it is nice to be able to set up a truck for off-road/expeditioning and not have to drive it to work everyday.

i would love to do that but i just dont have the money to pay off a loan, and keep a truck i dont need...and build that truck to go break it haha
