For all you picture whores, My rollover pictures from the summer.

2wd anyone?

Fast forward 6-8 wheeling trips and a lot of body damage.


Everyone else comes running and Jess stops for a picture, thanks jackass!

Thankfully that tree saved me from the next 30-40 feet of rolling over and over like a drunk chick down a flight of stairs.

Does not look any better from the top of the hill...

Thats one way to clean all the trash out of a rig.

well shit, I cant even blame the booze for this one.

Thanks for jackass friends with winches, it took 2 hrs to get it upright and to my buddies house 15 min away.

It was interesting. My head was shaken not stirred for 2 weeks afterwards, I should of visited a hospital.

Pictures just for you!

Funny thing is my buddy drove it 10 miles on the road to another friends house!

I forget where that's at. Wasn't it up past Mantua? I could possibly try to come if I make sure to save the truck for the long haul home.

Pretty tough old truck. I'd just beat it out, throw in a used windshield, and silicon it up to keep it from leaking. No sense in throwing a good truck away because of some glass lol. Glad your alright though

Glad you're here to show/tell us about it man!

I am foolish but not stupid. After a fairly long inspection I decided the body was compromised to much to try and save it.

Not to mention I hated the lack of gearing and a doubler contraption was out of the question.

Oh yea, and I want Hydro assist steering. That welded diff sucked and I am way to cheap for a locker.

New plans are 1993 (I think) f150 300/np435/bw1356 with EB axles running 410s.

Here are the gearing comparisons

M5od1=3.4 to 1 first gear
BW 1350= 2.48 to 1
Explorer gears=4.56

That puts the Explorer at roughly 38 to 1


NP435= 6.69 to 1 first gear
1356=2.69 to 1
EB axles =4.10

This puts the F150 at roughly 73 to 1


See my reasoning now?

It wasn't bad driving it home except for the shards of glass in my hand from trying to wipe the gallon of ATF off the windshield so I had some hope and prayer of being able to see out part of it.
