[R3dAlert]

Nice. Thats only a few minutes away from wharton state forest. Lots of good trails out there.

Here is my 9" housing I picked it up yesterday from Currie.

 

[MountaineerGreen]

That 9" looks sweet!

 

[zainyD]

Dang, that is gorgeous!

 

[cgriffin_5139]

Oh here are a couple of the trailing arms, and the top of the engine cage. It’s in the middle of the pics.

Geez, i didnt expect it to be all out balls to wall.

 

['97 V8]

oh and where are you getting your 3rd from?

 

[410Fortune]

are those the Giant weld yourself arms?
Someday when I win lotto I can join you, this thing is gonna be so sick

Is that Currie 9" housing setup for a full size truck? I am worried about your trailing arms fitting the explorer frame and then moving out quite a bit to match up to the 9?

Sorry I am playing catch up on this thread

Holy Cow...Dang that is a lot of good looking stuff...

** plans changed**

No, the back half of the frame is going to be cut off. Narrowed and a C notch tied into the cage to compensate for the width and travel issues. I am looking in to running a newer style 150 front suspension setup, axle shafts, hubs, rotors (similar to the pic). I fell in love with desert trucks a long time a go, rock crawling is fun but theres nothing like going fast. And yes I have made changes to the original plans.

So what's going to happen to the solid D44s you have?
