New Explorer in the family

So we adopted a '91 EB. She was put to the plasma cutter, torch, speed wrench, etc., early in her life as far as we can tell. The work in very well done. Gonna have to research to find out who and when it was done.

So here she is(shes very dirty right now, no one ever changed her nappy by the looks)







and Sitc-o has christenedher!

Congrats on the latest addition:navajo:

Ok...Good news and bad news!

We drove it off the trailer,

Good news is the trans works...

Bad news Both Trans and tail shaft have huge cracks in them, which is causing it to leak

T-case seems to be shifting via push button..

Very sexy! Looks like its leaking a little bit everywhere!

That would explain how we had to put a little in everywhere

I'm convinced that last weekend the kid who owned it, went out to play in it, flew it or something, and the busted the Trans case. The reason why I say this, is the t-case skidplate, custom crosbrace for arms and front driveshaft were all removed and in the cargo area. and the Warn hubs were still in the locked postion.

ah damn i knew i should have stop in and said Hi when i pass by there earlier today.

Sweet find...

...It reminds me of R.J.'s in a couple different ways..:scratch:

...So, the trans works???...Are you going to do the tranny swap anyhow??

The c-5 was specially built for the Zuk and will remain for the Zuk
So the hunt is on for a trans.
She will remain hospitalized while we run to SMORR
Engine sounds good though!

She does require a little degreasing! lol

That rear end is something to look at, thats for sure.

Those have to be the biggest set of leaf packs I have ever seen on an EX!

Sorry it wont be making it to Smorr.

auto trans manual t-case and adapter
also looking for a nice set of 35's

Yeah not my truck guys, but I'm glad to help out with it sense my dad has helped me so much with mine. I belive it will stay pretty much as is. You can't really do much with near perfection. Besides I keep getting the feeling this truck has some history we don't know about...not sure.


Found out the Headers are Elderbrocks, which I'm sure don't exsist anymore.

I was thinking today too, that spare carrier is just a modified version of a factory unit off something turned sideways. then welded to the bumper. Not sure what it's off of though.

Well, since I need to get some 17" wheels. That means new tires.

They are 35x13.50-15s BFG KXs on 15x10 wheels.
