Yikes! Expensive Knuckle.

Why is it leaning on the pass side? Is it just resting and not lined up?

 

[crazyflights]

Nothing lined up, and rear leaf spring bent on that side.

I have Highflow steering pump from Wild horse coming, Hyrdo assist ram, and chromo front axle shafts.

Another order with some joints from Ballistics and tube adapters, and I believe Im done ordering crap for awhile, this thing is getitng expensive but bad-asss LOL

Watch out for that razor blade kitty!

Trailer is a cool deal. Better than scrapping it for a few bucks.

Since the bed is staying off, are you going to have a slant spare tire mount behind the cab? I realize that is far down the road, but just curious.

Cant wait to see this in person. Your moving right along.

Wonder how long it took to cut those tubes with that razor blade? :

 

[MrQ]

You know, I think I would run it just like this.

out of curiosity, I noticed you ordered a high volume steering pump. would a pump from a 5.0 F-150 move more fluid than the explorer pump? I assume that since its a larger vehicle.



since i'm here, I'll say that B2 is turning out awesome!!

 

[crazyflights]

Probally not, Im not forsure thoe. I think the 1st issue would be that it may not bolt up directly and 2nd it may be a bigger vehicle but using the same steering box. Good question but i just went with the aftermarket unit since I know it bolts up and is rated for what I want to use it for.

Today once its not so early Im gonna call about a 97 v8 explorer thats 4sale, pretty cheap, might buy it to have some more extra parts and a few things Im missing that in long run junkyard diving will cost me more than i can hopefully buy this explorer if they still have it.

In the background of this pic u might spot something hmm what is it???

 

[crazyflights]

I was worried I was missing some parts so I found a good deal on another 97 v8 explorer its complete so has the things i was missing

Drove it some, but t-case chain broke.

There's a Unicorn in the woods!

See it back there by the Gnome holding the bag of muffler bearings?
