New Year new project right??
Got the pass off on a little project Explorer from one of the homies in Oceanside. My Fiancée decided her name was to be Beatrice which seemed pretty fitting.
She was a little rough around the edges and needed some love. But @John Reynaga and his roommate (Beatrice's previous owner) helped me out and started getting her dialed in. We got the rear end fabbed up in two weekends of me running out to Oceanside and then I towed it home.
It previously had a sketch bedcage and some shocks into the trunk area but I knew I wanted to keep shocks under the bed so we put a tube from frame rail to frame rail, glued her in, added some shock tabs and boom just like that we had a new rear shock setup. (It wasn't actually that simple lol) we did lots of cycling and measuring and consulting with another friend Sean.
They had some King 2.5x12 Smoothie Bypasses laying around the garage in rough shape
Pulled them apart to rebuild and threw some Steel It on them
Current rear end situation. Don't mind the JB welded diff cover lol, look at the custom Deaver pack instead
Front end has drop brackets for the beams and engine cage with some 2.5 Sway-A-Way Coilovers.
Crusty
