Hey there have a 88 manual Bronco II with 4wd and manual locking hubs- about to do the front & rear axel conversion and I’ve narrowed it down to 2 explores - a 92 and 93 explorer both with 4wd
92 - 80xxx miles - automatic locking hubs - automatic transmission- been sitting for 8 years - no apparent rust
93 - 160xxx miles - manual hubs - manual transmission (blown tho) been sitting 6months - surface rust .
Both : 400$ - 4wd - rear drums - both have seats I need -
What’s your guys opinion on which car I should grab - I leaning more towards 93 with manual hubs since I may need ecu for auto (or wrig my own switch ) and although 92 has less miles it’s been sitting for 8 years - I’m sure I could clean rust off axels of 93 and I plan on getting new shocks and bushing during swap but what’s your guys opinion?
Ps. Once I swap axels to bronco can I take the old ones from my car and put em back on explorer?
