Ok it's finally looking like something. This thing should be complete by the end of next week, so I am posting this in the registry instead of the projects section, I hope that's OK with everyone.

Rear: Full width Ford 9 inch, with 4.88s and a EZ Locker, stock springs and 4 inch blocks. No cutting down here. There are pizza cutters on her right now, but I'm picking up the 35' Muds tomorrow.

Hi this is my first post here and I am getting close to finishing my sas swap to i though i would add my build. In the front it is a full width 44 with 456 yukons gears ox locker 7 deg bushings duffs long arms deaver springs reid racing knuckles

I don't post here much anymore but since I got my start here I thought i'd post up. Got my explorer out of the garage finally. Still need to build a radius arm x-member, mount my winch, resolve a brake leak, and run rock lights/in cab winch controls. I currently have stock junk for the steering. I'll be replacing that with heims and DOM. Also need to make an e-brake provision. Either going to use electric line locks or build a driveline brake which will mount to the output of the x-fer case. Driveline: 1978 9" 1979 D44 Custom 9" disk brake conversion w/ Oldsmobile Bravada calipers 5.13 gears spooled rear open front (planning on ARB) 3.5" eb springs stock rear springs 35" BFG MT's Misc: CB hand throttle rock sliders which replace the...

YESSSSSS Well she is driving now. I spent 3 days at a friends house and we had a blast. My junk its a currie built 9" with YJ outers. Stupid lift 5.5 coils. Rancho 5000 shocks with 15 inches travel. There are 5.13 gears riding on an ARB air locker. Warn manuals (of course) and maintained the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. Long radius arms (will be heim jointed soon) and all custom steering. We literaly finished this project just a few hours ago. There is a few small things left to do but I drove it the 2 hours home tonight and It drove FAR better than it did with the TTB, and ZERO bump steer, I mean NONE. You will see why when you see the pics. I must thank my friend for all his help and his and his wife's hospitality...
