hey guys....im thinking of swapping frames on my 99. its getting rough... the frame is bent where the trailer hitch mounts (hook up to trailer and it bends the whole hitch down lol) already did a body lift, so the body bolts are all out and new... so that wont be an issue..
what frames are compatiable? where there any changes from 95-01? differences in 4wd/awd? seen some nice explorers from down south with paint still on the frames go really cheap at auction sites with just minor damage. like to start looking for one this winter with all the extra funds from the overtime im working so i can start in the spring. part out the parts truck and regain some of the funds.... and oh ya... powder coat the frame before it goes under my explorer!
thanks alot!:exp:
