new member, I feel that I am a little conflicted about what RBV I technically am? considering, it's a little bit of all.

doors

Your Username seems to describe it well.

We're gonna need pictures, of course.

Multi-year something or other...let's see...explorer, bronco, and ranger mixed into one...

Broncorex...throw in some parts from a Taurus and you could have a BroncoREXTaurus...just another dinosaur with class~

one piece at a time...... you nailed it!

 

[hillbilly sporttrac]

the best part is that I only have about 1000$ into the project, and 800$ of it was for the donor explorer.

 

[brinker88]

That looks pretty badass! I would suggest you lengthen the wheelbase slightly and bob the bed for a better departure angle. Other than that, it looks awesome.

 

[hillbilly sporttrac]

I thought about shortening the bed, but I would prefer to keep it long just so I have a remote chance of fitting my ktm 300 in the back. it will be iffy with the length now.

 

[brinker88]

Those leaf springs aren't doing much for towing/hauling capacity up that far. You'd be better off just getting a new bed or relocating the wheelwell arch and moving the rear suspension. (you MIGHT need a carrier bearing with that long of a wheelbase though)
