I’ll try running them down the radius arm in the future. Thanks for the heads up. I won’t be doing any serious wheeling with it for a little while, hopefully these will work for just driving it on the street
Speaking of which, I drove it in my driveway yesterday! Made it about five feet! I hadn’t welded the rear leaf perches to the axle yet, so as soon as I gave it a little gas, the axle rotated and the driveshaft broke... oops. It was a crappy driveshaft anyway, I’ll order a nice one tomorrow. I’m just happy it finally moved! I also discovered during the test drive that my power steering pump is shot. It would barely turn the tires and it whines like crazy. I have another one laying around somewhere from that green explorer, but if that one doesn’t work I’ll look into doing a conversion to a Saginaw pump
