I could really use help on figuring out the parking brakes. For anyone who swapped a 9” in could you give me some How To on it.

Phase 1 is done…..kinda…. Got everything together and got rolling. Tom woods built me a read drive shaft, rear bumper (phase 1) built cheap tc shocks in the rear, and all the bolts righted up. Took it out wheeling today and it performed amazing. Couple things I could do to improve things but I’m...

It has been way too long since I have updated yall. Let's say it's cause I have been working on it and not posting about it lol. I drove it!!! Just in front wheel drive but hey it's better than nothing. It is such a soft ride and it will just get better with shocks. I need to reinforce the...

That is right where I have mine so I think I am just gonna run it and hope for the best.

You mind sharing a pic of the passenger side. Even with trimming I am limited by the air box.

Need some help. What did yall do for the shock towers on the passenger side? I can fit the full-length f250 tower on the driver size but on the passenger side I have too many things I don't want to move. For now I will just run it shorter because I want to just get wheeling and then later I will...

Made some more progress in the last couple weeks. I got the trac bar built (need to finish weld), coil buckets burnt in, trac bar bracket burnt in, radius arm brackets bolted in, axle painted, coil springs repainted. Going to put it all together tonight and if I get far enough along then I will...

Wow! I have really been slow on this thing. But am finally making some progress. If I had all the parts I feel like I could finish in a long day but the goal is easter because of some big family trips in March. Right now everything is mocked up but once I feel it is solid then I will tear down...

haha Love it. When are you starting on your swap? I will plan on ripping it out then. I just didn't know if it would screw things up where I couldn't easily fix.

One question I do have for those who have done a swap is what do y’all do with the brake abs system? Do I need to remove the system in the pic and bypass it? Or leave it and run it like normal?

So it’s been a minute since I have posted things family wise have been busy busy but finally jumping back to working on the explorer. Since April got the rear in place just need to run a brake hardline and figure the drive shaft and I will be good to go. I got the front d35 out, 44 mocked up...

Thanks, they have their flaws when you’re up close but I really like how they turned out.

I never thought about grinding them down. I might do that tomorrow. But I also bit the bullet and bought a 3/4” reamer which is on its way. I know I can do that with the hard lines but do they do that as well for the rubber line?

More rust than I wanted to see so I spent some time getting a wire wheel on everything I could then hit it with a rattle can, need to go over it once more. These leaf spring centering bolts are toast so I grabbed some 7/16 x 2” ones. The junk part is I got to open up the holes on the new...

Made some real progress on the Explorer. So I picked up some wheels $50. He called them centerlines but after looking and some hunches from @BlackBII i found a Ford symbol on the inside of one of the wheels. They were in rough shape so I sand blasted them and decided to paint them. I wanted to...
