No rear end Expo.

I added some pics to the post above

I also snagged the subwoofer from the rear compartment and the wire harness all the way from the dash, and the rear overhead light. The light will probably find a home in my Nissan.

I have the lens for it. Found the bulbs under the carpet. Pretty sure there still good but I will prolly go LED in the Hard body.

You might want to have that tire looked at. I don't think it will hold air.

The rear shackles were rust free compared to the bumper bolts and were fairly easy to remove with a 18" cheater bar and 1/4" drive 18mm socket. Has new blue bushings on the front sway bar links. So I guess the last owner tried to spruce it up before they got rid of it. Did I mention the rust on this thing. I kinda see what you all up north have to battle. IDK if the salt water is worse but you can see in the one of the pics how the bolt has rusted. The bottom is 10xworse. I just blew through half a can of PB Blaster for future bolt removal. I plan on stripping this thing for anything and everything useable, either in my Nissan or Ranger.

I now know why it only came with one wheel. Nobody could get it off. The studs and lugs have rusted together. After soaking them with PBblaster for a few days, I was able to get 4/5. I'll try again tomorrow for #5. I'm having trouble getting the rear passenger door open. Does anybody know any tricks. My option right now is remove the bolts on the hinge and try it that way.

Did you try pulling the door handle?
Is it unlocked?


Welp... I’m out of suggestions.

The socket wasn't the issue. It was the 1/4" drive vs 3/8".







And i refuse to clarify
