@RockRanger you are going to film this right?

gonna use this as a running log i guess. I bypassed PATS (and no I will not tell you on here how to bypass pats. @Rick would shoot me) and swap out the ECM for one out of a manual. Only code I get now is p0340 (from reading I need to check the alt and Crankshaft position sensor to resolve it)...

found my vacuum leak, line was rotted out, tomorrow i am changing all fluids. its this close to being ready for the road >----------------------------<

not quite dark out and the next is it at dusk. this is 3 leds being ran at 18.2 vdc on a buck booster. I got 57 more to add to the system. I mounted them on the body to keep the wiring tight and above the frame. I am running a few switches to change the area that is lit up. shutter speed...

@Greg_DonWindsor. cool, I don't have the underdrive, but i also have 500 watts in amps and 3 electric fans (with two emergency backups) . etc etc and I glad to hear I should be fine. My current one is tasked as it is.

well I got a bunch of these: and they are bright. like this and wanted to know if you have tasked the alternator alot to see how it handles the load.

I did the swap on mine. OHV not SOHC. I used new parts for slave cylinder and lines and used from the junkyard for everything else. I also converted to manual transfer at the time: Lesson learned after the fact: Keep all the wiring. You can find a tutorial on here to wire it up so it thinks it...

what site are those on? edit the last photo

can you report back on it? I just revived mine from the pasture and got 80a of leds for it (rock lights) would love to know if its worth it

do more than fiddle with them, pull them out carefully (due to age) and see which one with a multi-meter does not close the switch. If you can not afford the switch just jumper them and tape them off. But really you might find corrosion in the switches and the wiring. Which makes it hard to...

when mine was at that level, i drilled them out for pins, and yes it helped. for securing the sway bar i used cut down ratchet straps. I just tossed the rear and did the front.

had the wheels, but they sat for a long time, heck they actually still have moss on them. Ordered a ton from rock auto. new front calipers, they are setup. rear diff seal, all filters, new pads and rotors all the way around. axle seals for the front. all new shocks. Need springs in the rear but...

Its been still for a long while. I had to scrap the moss off it. The tires haven't been on it, in about 7 years (the 37s) it feels. But after a hard day of work. Its alive. Still got a lot to do on it but, its running again! (finished off the day by washing it) http://imgur.com/a/ufMS9

Rig is almost back on the road. But my steering has an insane amount of slop in it. For those that SAS'd what steering linkage from wheel to box did you go with? I know mine is worn out and needs to be replaced asap. Cheap is good because right now I have cartoon style steering. Specs: stock...

I think the old one was a 95, not sure. Been tearing my explorer down and painting it. Frame is 1/4 in primer now... hence the late response. Tomorrow I should be done with painting primer. But I still need to attach the linkage

Thanks to the sticky,

On the linkage for the manual transfer case, 2 bolts, I need the larger one of the two. It is the pivot point bolt to shift the tcase

Had to get another manual transmission, and the large bolt for the linkage is a different size with the new one. It came out of a 98 ranger. Weird I would have thought nothing would have changed. anyone know the right bolt size for it?

I have 4.56, love them but I got a v6. I would do 4.10's for your v8

Oh my god I suck. Dropping the transmission. 2 ratchets later 6" of snow, I got 2 bolts left. I am taking my baseball home now. Swear to god my core temp is 3 Edit darn it for my will alone I deserve totm... or I need to mod more

Ended up being the transmission. Got one for 200 used. When I turn the output shaft on it, it Locks in reverse. Something broke inside I can heard it moving. Weird

Yep its 11 out and snowing. I think it's the tranny. Younger me did not care old me would have to replace. Broke stuff and frozen. 2 bolts left

Vacuum hose.

Update: braved the snow, dropped my rear drive shaft. Tossed it in natural and it clunks in the transfer and binds in reverse

Just have basically the same problem. Let me know how that transfer case looks
