Back from Moab....5 days might be to much for a d35 IFS :sonicjay:
Found the sway bar links gradually were torn apart through the week, and my inner tie rods gradually got more and more play everyday. Enough that I bought a spare at about day 3. Also found the front shocks at the upper mounts...
Buddies dad picked up KyleM's old explorer sport DD, gonna sas with full widths. He used to have a 79 f150 truggy. Now he wants something more dd friendly and reliable. I agreed to do the work for him, I look at it as practice. My wife has a 98 XLT V8 explorer and in the spring shes gettig a...
A club mate of mine, Kyle M. and Ozziemoe is taking care of some stage 4 stomach cancer that he was just diagnosed with. Since he's taking a break from working, we can help out his son! His brother is selling some t-shirts where all proceeds are going to the college fund for his son. It takes a...

I am helping a budding with his 86 B2. It had the Mitsu 5 speed in it and somebody swapped it out and put a A4LD in its place, but never hooked anything up. All my 1st gen's have been manual trucks so I am unfamilar with the shifter linkage etc....
I have some of the parts from the ranger the...

So I have decided the full size body life just isn't for me. just to wide and to easy to damage the body in the tight trails I wheel on. Heres what I had...
Heres the 03 Ext Cab I purchased yesterday that will be replacing my F250 cab.
Basic run down on the truck....

I picked up a 98 explorer for the wife with a bum motor. It has the gt40p heads and an external EGR. When I look up motors I get prod. time differences. And of course this truck is 8/98. I haven't called the dealer yet to get the exact build date. But my question is can I get away with...
Picked up a 98 Explorer 5.0L AWD. Has a dead hole in the motor (think cy1 piston is damaged). Its in pretty good shape other wise. Snagged it for $350. Found a used motor for $500.

Yeah didn't know where to post it, where does it fit?
Anyways.....I twisted the junk outta my truggy frame. So I am looking to get ready and start a new build. I have a 96 f250 std cab. But i don't really want to build a full width bodied truck as I had a hard enough time keeping the body...
Got a call around 4:30 yesterday.....somebody pulled out in front of the wife and she clipped him. His fault. He pulled out in front of her, she was heading north on m-37 in Middleville going through the one light and he was facing south and turned left in front of her. She slammed her RF on...
After spending so much time reading through so many threads in this forum. There are hardly any pics of any v8's in the trucks, or the process or blah blah blah. I am still mocking mine up for fitment with the motor mounts. But I will be taking plenty of pics.
:icon_bounceblue:
I believe I have a pair of Duff conversion mounts. I aquired them through somebody so not from Duff direct. Which of course means I did not get the diagram showing where the holes need to be drilled in the frame. Does anybody have the diagram still or a pic of where the holes need to be...
