Brought axle shafts to my machinist before work, picked them up after work, and then installed 10 new studs.

That is a beauty of a pic Tom! Nice cover OffTrac.

Replaced Upper Control Arms, Tie Rods, Front bay sway bar bushings (used all Moog parts). Replaced front calipers, Brembo slotted rotors, and new Wagner Ceramic pads all around as well.

Big improvement in steering with the new suspension parts, originals only lasted 18 years, dont they make anything to last anymore.... Front end alignment done, steering wheel straight again = One Happy Camper.
 






Managed to get the rear suspension out and put back in.. Well partly back in.. Just need to get the weight back on it to see what I have to do next (well, need to tighten down u-bolts first).

Interested in hearing how you like it next time we go out...
 






I sold the Camry recently, so I bought the Explorer a friend yesterday. This is the wife's new car so I finally get to drive the Explorer full-time.

Nice pictures. With that length of trails your shudder must have been open for a half hour. How did you keep the headlights from over exposing the pictures?
 






I hopped in the truck near the end of the exposure and turned the lights on for a second and then turned them back off.

Any chance you could post up a high res picture of the shot in your last post? That would make a great desktop background. 1920x1080 would be awesome.
 






I'm an idiot and I didn't save the type in a high-res version.:burnout: I have to go back and redo it.

I'm going to do a few and put them in the EF Wallpaper thread as soon as I can.
