Well by all means :salute: I never met him but he was so young and I remember him from posts a few years ago. Sad to lose someone who's part of a family like the members of this site. R.I.P. brother.

Was Bryan a member of the armed forces?

Welcome back, hope all is well. I sent you a PM.

I'm running 32x11.5x15 on my 96 with a TT and 2" lift leaf springs and have never had a problem except for mino rubbing on the front sway bar when at full lock (but only when going in reverse :confused: ). I solved that by removing the front sway bar. Oh, I and don't have any wheel spacers.

I have the same rims on my 05 Limited and have not noticed this problem. I'm interested in what you find out. I'll have to keep an eye on my wheels to see if mine eventually do this.

Try your local NAPA if you have one, I've gotten a few odd ball bolts from them when I needed them. Cheaper than a dealer, too

Hey, as long as you build what the customer wants, right? I say get your money and have fun doing it. Nice work on the Escape, BTW.

Could you have built it lower or do you get a better sound stage by mounting the subs that high up. Not picking, just curious since I've never owned a pick up. From what I can see though, nice work!

My 96 XLT came with them stock. I thought those were part of the XLT package.

:smoke: Looks good! Waiting to see action shots.

This happened to me in a 15' box van as I was coming off of a highway up to a red light. When I realised I wasn't going to be able to stop I just threw it in neutral and pulled off on the shoulder of the off ramp. After shutting it off and checking everything, we started it back up and...

You are correct, it is a Sterling 9.75". It also has the metric 5X135mm bolt pattern, so if you were going to redrill the axles to 5X5.5, you would have to redrill the rotors also. Or else have different bolt patterns front and rear.

Jefe actually used a jeep axle to mock up and fab his SAS with the plans to use a Rubi D44. The only problem with using a Rubi D44 is (IIRC); price - they're expensive, gears are expensive since you can't use regular D44 gears and they are a mix of D44 and D30 parts. Other than that, yes...

I was thinking about this thread the other day when I saw a similar year model driving just off base here in MO. The truck looks great (beauty rings included)! It's nice to finally see someone who wants to save the beauty of a classic instead of just letting it waste away in their yard.

This is the outlet I have mounted in the rear bumper of my X. Has both the 4 and 7 prong hookups. Plus I don't have to worry about losing any adapter (been there before :rolleyes: ). I bought it from WalMart for $20.
