I am in the midst of collecting parts for a first gen explorer build. I have some G50E’s, and have been looking at different shackle options. Im seeing companies offering lengths in the 7.00”-9.500” range. What would be the advantage/ disadvantage of longer over shorter or vice versus? Thanks in...

Very clean man, the explorer in the baja pics looks pretty good also

Looks really good! What is the wms measurement of the rear end? The tires fut the glass really well

Very cool! Nice write up!🤙🏻

When you look at a bypass shock, it has compression tubes and rebound tubes to allow fluid to bypass the piston, depending on where these tubes are located on the shock bod, it will create a zone in which it controls via external adjustment. Smooth body shocks, you are limited to how how the...

I dont know for sure if the black truck had a 12” or 14” on it, the body looks pretty long, so it may have been a 14”. Back when that was the norm, by-passes and large diameter shocks were relatively new. It was pretty common to stack a bunch of 2” shocks on each corner, and alot of people ran...

I really like your approach on this build, i had the auto fab bent beam kit on my ranger in highschool and it was killer for what i was doing with the truck. That kit can be installed in a few hours if you are reasonably mechanical and have the truck ready for school monday. You could possibly...

That is one of my biggest hang-ups with a traditional 4 link is the rear shock location. Even running a single rear shock down the trailing arm( borderline short course set up), the shock is still in the door opening, which means crowding the rear seats together, and doing some type of...

Thank you!

I am trying to get better with remembering to take pictures during the process, heres a couple more

My dad has slowly been building a baja for a number of years now, nothing too over the top, air cooled, bus box, etc, etc. we decided to go 8” wider than stock, it is equal spread, so the caster will be accounted for when it goes in the car, he is running 2.500 longer x 2.00 wider arms with a...

Has anyone reshaped/ added a bit more buldge to their bedsides? Im looking at 4 door explorer quarters but am kinda stuck in the middle. I like the 7” flair shape and look, but they are a bit big for where the build will be initially, however the smaller 4” flair is almost too small. I would...

For real! There are deals still to be had, not as many as 10 years ago, but still no where near the bronco craze. I think the “ cash for clunker” deal obama did way back took a toll on quite a few, i remember a ton being in local wrecking yards with smoked transmissions back then

Very cool build, i really like the clean simple approach. Its cool to see the explorer platform gaining popularity.
