1993 Explorer SAS, Doubler, 37s, Lockers, etc.

[Kirby N.]

I haven't been to this forum in sometime, but lately I have found it helpful and entertaining once again, so I thought I would post up some build up pocs of my junk.

Here is the earliest pic I have (yes it was a navajo). It had cheap 235s, and auto tranny and Tcase and a 2.4" VR James duff suspension Lift. Worked Pretty Good!

Next Here it is with 4.5" of suspension (JD coils + spacers), SOA rear, Duff extended Radius Arms and 33x10.50 BFG A/Ts:

Here it is in current Form:
Explorer now, Manual Tranny and Tcase, XD8000 Warn Winch, Sliders, Rear Bumper, 37x12.50 MTRs
1976 Dana 44 Narrowed 6", ARB, 4.56 Yukons, Yukon Superjoints, Yukon 4340 Shafts, Stock length Radius Arms Passenger Wristed, Chevy TRE conversion (over knuckels), Warn Premiums, Axle Pushed forward 3.5"
Rear is a different 8.8 (I exploderd the first), Yukon 4.56s, Detroit EZ Locker, Myers Wheel Spacers, BTF DIY cover, Ruff Stuff Brackets, Axle Moved back 1"

Here is all I have left:

DandD doubler and another 1354 to go in:

Its Winter and now I need to get that doubler in! No excuses!

Dang that thing looks awesome! Looks clean. You dont have the JD arms still do you?

 

[Kirby N.]

no, all my old parts are long gone. It has been sas'ed for about 3 years now. Thanks for the complements. I also need to add soe tubing to the front bumper and I want to do an interior hoop behind the seats.

Here is the 8.8

Oh, also I need to do a swingout spare carrier. I am thinking of using a Dana 44 hub and spindle for the hinge.

[BeaterMan]

thats a real nice looking rig.

 

[Evan]

Nice!!!

 

[CheapThrillB2]

how does it drive with the 4.56 gears and the 37's?

 

[Kirby N.]

Gets 17 MPG and runs down the highway at 90 plus...

Perfect for driving, wish it was lower for wheeling... That is where the doubler comes in!

 

[CheapThrillB2]

how much lift you think you have total?

 

[Kirby N.]

Enough to fit 37s with some trimming and wheel base stretching

I don't know I would say 6.5" to 8". I am pretty sure it is as much lift as I ever want on it. It is pretty stable with the offset wheels and the suspension travel, but I ran it with stock fullsize bronco wheels, 34s, and no wristed arm and it was pretty tipsy.

just asking cause i am removing my axles from my b2 and installing them under my explorer and was thinking of runnning some 38 TSL's. Axle in the front is the same as yours D44 full width with 6"s removed from pass side. Just don't want to hack the body up to bad to clear them thats all.

Your truck looks killer, wish we had places like that to wheel out here in MI
