sethpdx · 04-15-2006, 01:58 AM

nice one sno!

*sn0border88* · 04-15-2006, 08:33 AM

If anyone needs a snorkel its me... see above. Ive thought about it, just never really get around to it. Buts its on my to do list. Thanks all for the response.

*sn0border88* · 04-24-2006, 01:07 PM

'97 V8 · 04-24-2006, 01:24 PM

I love it when parts come. When do you plan to install all of this?

*sn0border88* · 06-20-2006, 06:15 PM

Lots of things in thw works, so just an update of the "plans."

Hopefully by the winter...

Chopped Top with the rest made to fit with a truck bed cap or similar (canvas?)
I need to be able to drive this on the street in the winter so I cant have it open.

Exo Cage/ integrated tire carrier water/fuel/hilft in chopped area.
Tube bumper
d30 hung in place, used to mock up for a d44.

By Next Summer (in time for 11th annv. run)
built d30/44 depending on funds

Im counting on the transmission blowing any day now, and I think the head gasket is leaking (choc milk coolant) IF it does, ill either throw in a manual trans and repair the head gasket, or do the 302 swap (or possibly a 350 or one of the amc v8's).

Im getting a new vehicle ('00 stang gt) this summer for sure, so I can take all the time I need on these projects.

I also have a few small things that Ill do if I ever feel like it.

Rust coat the undercarriage
Repair the rockers and bedline (maybe do the whole thing in bedliner?)
Finish my half doors
Make a new center console out of fiberglass with spots for my iPod, maglight, ka-bar, a few cups, and my gauges/switches.

xman98 · 06-21-2006, 09:31 PM

sounds like your going to be busy for a while, good luck with the transmission

I just re-read and saw this

moose1 · 10-08-2006, 07:30 PM

Like the truck sno, but I nhave a question and seeing your truck you will definitly be able to answer this.

Im currently looking for a explorer stly such as yours, and looking for 33' possible 35" how much room do you have for the 33' as far as travel when you wheel? can you fit a 35'. Im asking this so I can estimate the amount of lift I will need depending on my decision on tire size.

Thanks.

*sn0border88* · 10-08-2006, 07:51 PM

I could fit a 37, which im doing very soon. With just a 6" lift you should be able to clear 35's.

**JDraper** · 10-08-2006, 07:57 PM

I've got 5.5" of lift on my truck on 33's with no problems (except for the offset) and I could probably tuck 35's under with just minor trimming. Rim size and offset will make a big difference when it comes to rubbing when turning.

dkkne · 10-08-2006, 08:17 PM

I have a 3" body lift and with minor trimming on the inside corners, 33's fit perfect at full lock and full compression.

*sn0border88* · 11-05-2006, 01:54 PM

Well, tranny blew up today.
