Thanks. I'm thinking of a darker blue with these stripes in gray for a lot more contrast. It sure would be nice to have a computer program that you could play around with color and stripe combos.

Now it's back on 4 wheels. So when I get the floor out and decide I've stolen enough stuff off this poor car, it can roll right up on the rollback and on to it's eternal resting place.

You may be wondering why I wiggled the Explorer axle out instead of dropping the springs. Well, the bolts in the shackles were pretty crusty and the wind chill was in the 20s. Really didn't feel like fighting a losing battle. So I hoped it would fit out the side and she did - barely.

Oh yeah check this out. This is the 7.5 rear sitting on the "perches" that the sway bar mounted to on the Bronco II. I figured why not.
