93 budget build! First build actually.


Well trucks torn down atm. Master cylinder went so i got a new one bench bled it and put it on. But i have to replace all my lines for the rear.

Also im posting pics tomorrow of a bumper im fabbing right now for it.
 
Bumpers still in progress, but i can assure the one touch i did no one else has and its cool!

I also graduated high school today.

Im buying a 8.8 out of a explorer here soon as im not dumping money into my 7.5. I want it for discs and strength. I will have 35s for it in a month or two and want to get something with gearing suiteable for them. 4.10s for daily and wheeling? Or should i go 4.56 and have to regear a axle.

And the stock 7.5 driveshaft does hook up to the 8.8 correct?
 
^ So much for that, i really need to update.

I commited to a full rebuild. I picked up a good shape 93 explorer 4x4 from cali with 123,xxx for 600 of some ghetto trash lady for a daily and some weekend wheeling.

Ranger has nothing on rear end, scraped rear end, bed and came to find out my left leaf eye let was broken.

Sold my 2 inch skyjackers, and rims and tires.

Pulled whole under hood engine harness, whole front clip minus core support is off. It will be off with in next week.

Also got the whole front end out. Next comes motor and tranny.
 
Figured youd post that haha.

Well worked on it last night, decided since my radius arms were tweeked id scrap them so i cut them off and the whole front end is in the explorer ready for scrap yard. Got the core support out and almost all under hood wiring.

Ill have pics later tonight cause my mom has the camera right now and ill have more progress done when she gets home.
 
Heres a shitty picture, whole front end and core supports out. Motor and tranny will be out by sunday.

I know its messy. Im loading all the junk on the floor to scrap tomorrow.

Well ive been so busy and havent done much to truck. Worked as a truck washer at blue beacon for a while, just got hired yesterday as a tecnician at Monroe Muffler and Brake. Worked 13 hours today and 10 tomorrow. Great pay. Selling engine to a friends mom for 100.

Getting some very fun parts on thursday, it consists of big round and also ton age. For under 200 dollars.

Pictures thursdsay and progress since im off.
 
Going to see if i can find my damn memory card, if not ill use my laptops webcam to snap a picture.

I cant get the rear end till this thursday cause of bills.

But its a 79 f250 dana 60 with 4.10s, needs a pinion bearing but he wants 8- bucks for it which is a great price.

I got some tires for mock up and temporary till 40s come into play.

There 37x14x15 super swamper iroks. One has like 30 percent tread rest have 50 percent, and got some cupping, but for 100 with a grant wooden steering wheel and a cobra 19 cb radio im not complaining.
 
I know! The lighting in my garage makes the webcam pics look junk. I just need to take some with the camera after work tomorrow.
