100 percent on TMCoatings. My kid had his KMC's for his Duramax chromed by him. And now Saturday that same kid is picking up a set of 8 x180 Walkers that he had chromed for the Duramax.

Weekend up dates on the body swap. Since the kid is dealing with the Donor being a 94, automatic, 2wd, front Abs, some slight differences in the 4.0. And the rolled one is a 92, manual, electric 4wd, no front Abs. Makes it a little more work. With swapping wiring harness and dashboards. He got...

Well that explains it. Not sure why I thought those looked like 35’s. I also had to do a double check on my kids AR23 wheels. They look like 15x7 actually. But it’s that extra 2 inches in tire that is the culprit. Appreciate it.

That's why I'm curious with Coles Explorer. Both have the exact rear set up, Except for the tire manufacture. In 15x8 the AR23 wheels only come with one offset. Unless the Tensor is just slightly wider even thought its labelled as a 10.5 width. I was wondering if these softer Tensor tires...

@_Cole_Taylor_ Are you getting any tire rub in the rear with the 35"s. My kid bought a 92 Explorer project with the same rear set up. Its has Deaver G50E and a CookCraft rear shock bracket with 3.0x12 Fox triple bypasses and Solo shackles. Running AR23 rims and 35x10.5 Tensor tires. The...

Exactly. At one point, I thought cutting the roof off lower under the windows on the pillars. And welding the new roof on would be easier. But then trying to get door jams, to lineup and other issues it seem like more work. The body swap is doable just takes time. Which I didn’t want it to...

We've never done anything like this before, but how hard can it be. Just unbolt somethings. Haha. But we realize its a little more involved than we first thought. One is the wiring. We were hoping not to have to transfer wiring harnesses. But the rolled 92 has a electric transfer case and the...

Sorry neighbors about the sudden drop in your property values.

Some of the body damage from the rolled one.

Now how do we get a non running one parked in the up hill front yard next to the driveway with only 3 people. You back it up to the porch where its flat with the hopes to push it downhill into its spot. But don't forget to jack up the trailer tongue and truck to make it level as possible...

Only a 1/4 mile away from leaving Nicks house with both Explorers, we get flagged by someone that our trailer tire is smoking and rubbing the fender. Pulled into a parking lot and realized we lost a shackle on the way to his house. Didn't notice it when we loaded that one trailer. Tractor...

So my younger 23 year old kid wanted a 4 seater prerunner project. Probably wont be much of a build thread as most of the work is done already. But we all know how these projects snowball. He saw that @Nick619nc had to explorers for sale on Marketplace One was kind of built but was rolled...

From Toby Price Instagram

His first steering rack actually cracked right by the seal. And had a massive amount of play inside the rack itself. We put in a refurbished rack from Napa and it started leaking at the passenger seal within the first 15 miles of it being used in the desert. Just kept topping off the fluid...

Stock steering racks are dumb. Especially when you do this. And then land like this Then you'll get this But on the good side. You get a pic of your truck looking like Lightning McQueen. Kachoow
