New here & issues -o- plenty

[ShadeTree93']

First of all, Hello fellow Roverers.
I just became the owner of a 93' RRC and I am quickly finding myself becoming very intimate with the inner workings of this thing. In other words, she’s got problems. Fortunately nothing to major.
So for I have done the following:
-New alternator
-New fluids. (Oil, tranny, front, center and rear diff, front wheel swivel housing)
-Old owner had it coil sprung but never removed air components so I did (compressor, air tank, air lines)
-A/C did not work so I completely removed to system (compressor, hoses, unit inside front dash etc...)
-Motors on passengers seat were bad so I removed all but the one good one and hooked it to the "forward / backward" function and placed the seat in an overall comfortable position.
-Rear muffler was rusted through so I cut it off at the exit of the first one.
-Completely degreased the underside. (It was awful!)

That’s about it so far. Oh did I mention it's only going to be used for off roading.

Things to do that I may need help with.
-Fuse B2 keeps blowing. What may be the cause?
-Will the removal of the rear muffler affect anything? (Other than sound)
-Stuck in 4 high. I've seen the info on possible causes but what is the easiest and most likely fix to look into first. I noticed fuse B2 works with the "Shift interlock", is that related to this issue?
- Speedo does not work. Again, I’ve seen the fix(s) and I’m looking into them.
-Radio does not work. Again, may be related to B2.

Wish list:
-2" lift
-Bigger tires
-Possible rear lockers (although its quite capable right now)
-New exhaust and air filter (aftermarket)

Thanks in advance.
From looking around this place, ya'll seem like good knowledgeable folks.

This should be fun!!

Okay, that was a lot to throw out in one post. How about this:
What could be the reason fuse B2 keeps blowing?

Thanks,

Sorry no replies on this topic... sadly the early Range Rovers are very interesting when it comes to the wiring. Way too much Lucas engineering.

If I were to just take a guess, you have a short somewhere, but I am sure you know that. I would start at the shifter and check wiring from there, the odds are you will find a bad wire.

i got a 95 and i replaced the exhaust with a flow master and had it dumped in back of the rear axle its been like that that for awhile and hasnt given me any problems it also sounds real good
