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 D30 and 33's.
Run down on this build.....
1995 Explorer sport
4.0L m5ord and 1350 (eventually auto of some sort and most likely a 1354)
78/9 D44 5.13's Aussie, old school yukons (the good ones) with yukon super joints
9" with 5.13 and spool
38.5x14x15 TSL's on Beadlocks (my old locks I built years ago)
Radius Arm front with EB coils, maybe an 78/9 steering box (maybe)
Before Pic, who's straight,clean ranger is that? Looks similar to Kyles beat and dented ranger
Got the old 8.8 out and a 9" in position. temporary on the mono leaf. Plan to change that later. But needed to get the rear sitting on the SOA to get ride height so I could set the front. Thanks to Ozziemoe for welding up the rear spring perches. I recently moved into a new house and won't have my 220 for my compressor, plasma, and welder till tomorrow.
Where'd it all go?
Setting up the gears at the shop today.
