Finally! Only a little over a year since I’ve been requesting this

 

[gascapkevin]

Now my questions can commence. I’ll start with the easy ones

1) why the white doors?
2) what leaf pack did you use?
3) Pics of shackle and hanger relocation?
4) What size coilover is up front?
5) pics of link and steering setup?
6) any chance you would make another one of those front bumpers?

Ok that’s enough questions for now. I will have more soon.

Thanks for finally making a build thread!

1) the white parts were off an older base model explorer with crank windows (thanks Tonnmy). Ask anyone who's ever owned one of these trucks, the window regulators and motors are complete garbage.
2) a Deaver pack that was for a 2008 f150 that ended up being too soft. I threw them on with Dorman replacement bronco front hangers outboard the frame
3) I don't have any but next time I'm around the truck, I'll snap some. be forewarned, it's all junk I had here at the shop, I threw the rear together to hit the trails, the front suspension took priority.
4) 2.5x14 ADS compression adjust coil overs. Maybe a 3.0x12 ADS MRB in the future? Maybe those will end up in the rear with a canti link setup? No idea, lots more to do before we start redoing suspension as it works good enough for now. I want to add a cage and some sort of rear bumper tire carrier next.
5) I didn't take any photos of the progress of the build as I had no intention to start a build thread nor did I think anyone would care about this shitbox.
6) @85Yota anymore bent scrap front dentside bumpers we can chop up?

My favorite explorer ever to exist, hands down. Fucker wheels like a champ.




I wish I knew you were going to the expo! I would’ve had Willis grab that underdrive.
