1991 Explorer

[LoganB]

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

This didn’t age very well

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?

 

[LoganB]

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.

I’ll be doing d44 on my other one. I have no desire to dump that into this set up because it’s gonna get d60 eventually. Since I just replaced everything and in these I’ll just run em. Maybe I’ll be a lil more proactive on prep though. The bearing spread is crazy small compare to d44 it’s wild! I have contemplated welding the ears on those rings to make it an actual tight fit in the keyed slot.

Important update. The following mods have solidified I have entered the old man era of my life and will probably start eating dinner around 430-5pm.

Found a brand new dash mat in junkyard. I had no idea it was that easy to fix a fucked up dash.



I also acquired an oem ford bug deflector. I’m not sure I’ll keep it, or it’s gonna break fairly quick in the trails out here.



I also replaced the drivers window since I’ve wanted to do it for 6 years now

Hoping to take it out and go up north this weekend for a couple days.

Add a AAA sticker on the back window of that bad boy and I bet the police would never bother you

That gray POS in the background used to be sponsored by AAA flat bed tow trucks. You’d think they would just give me a sticker and free membership by now.

Already got myself a nice carpet dash cover on my 03 duramax and my 95 f150. I just ordered one to upgrade the interior on my 95 Bronco i'm selling too.

Dash mats are the bees knees. I buy one for every truck.

Dash mats tell the world you like to party.
