1991 Explorer

Godammit I showed this to my wife and now I have to buy her a cow Glock too.

Explorer’s lookin fuckin awesome dude! I guess everything looks cooler on Alcoas.. maybe I should put my Alcoas on my daily Hyundai…

Thanks she’s a real gem. Alcoas look cool, but I think 1 tons and 40s is gonna be cooler.

I lied, I didn’t give it a once over yet. Instead I took it out again this morning to clean the desert. When I was out this weekend I came across straight bullshit at a spot and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I went back out again this morning to clean it up. I only had so many bags and so much space, but I was able to pull 6 bags of trash. Kinda wanna make a truck bed trailer to pull out to these places to clean.




If you litter, you’re an actual FAGGOT.

Catch me in the rv at koh with some uncrustables

No good deed goes unpunished right? or maybe my good deed saved me? I’ll look at it like that.
I understand why a lot of people saying 35s is rough on these and driver side wheel bearings staying tight. Considering how hard I drive this for basically being a “lifted” suv I def should’ve/need to pay more attention to this. I might find a way to make a locking style li

Pretty sure that’s supposed to be butted up against the other nut

Engaging and disengaging 4x4 pulled the inner shaft in n out how it should, but since the spindle nut was already on its way off the washer would push again the nut, trying forcing it inside the snout/nut if that makes sense.This washer is supposed to be 100% flat. You can see in the photo above the metal protruding from the nut.

…… and smoked that snout.

Paris Hilton would say “that’s hot”


This tiny 1/16” key is the only thing that held the inner nut from coming loose. It indexes on a pin on the inner nut to it can’t loosen. If you’re missing the outter nut though…. Jesus himself is the one holding that whole thing together. Thanks bodj!

1500$ for that motor you said?

It’s fine.




Don’t worry though, I have a spare! Pretty sure once you start taking parts off another vehicles that’s the beginning of the end? I already robbed the alternator, so why not spindle too. Sure seems like a slippery slope already though!

Just convert them to D44 knuckles from a fullsize.

That said, on my old Tundra that had the Solo XLT kit (D44 hubs), I had to double up those keyed washers and weld them together to give enough meat to actually grab in the keyed groove. I also added weld material to the tooth to make it slightly taller and wider to fit better in the groove.

Bought my wife a 4runner and my project truck’s engine and bumper ended up on that thing. 5 years later at least my truck’s got another engine in it (hasn’t ran yet) and hopefully a bumper this spring haha.
