Thanks I have always liked this style wheel!!!

Ok so i didn't get any farther but i did want to show a couple pics. The first one is the mock up picture i took thinking it was at close to the right height and just pushed the tires up there next to it. The second one is after I lifted it up enough and got the front end stuffed. Now...

Ok well I had to get the torque wrench ordered and it will be here tomorrow so i cant do the gears til then. That gives me more time to read up on it anyway!! I did however go shopping for E-clip eliminator parts which i was able to find without TOO much trouble!! I went to Fastenal and got...

I gotta say i just replaced the bushing in the passenger side beam yesterday and noticed it was a fairly loose fit, without a good way to flare the sleeve back out i opted for tack welds in a few spots both sides, but thought i was screwing stuff up and must have done something wrong!!! After...

Felt good to take a day off but I was glad to get back at it today!! Kind of a slow day really but did get some accomplished... and again had the help of a good friend anthony!! Passenger side bracket bolted up and holes drilled... Drivers side bracket bolted up.... Finally...

Ok spent hours running around trying to find a torque wrench thats 15 inch pounds and i have had no luck!!! i dont want to tear the gears out till i have everything i need to put them back together so we just started some more demo work. Anthony aka Suicide77 is pretty handy with a grinder...

Few more pics i wanted to share showing parts and difference in tires against stock...... I just know i like pictures so i hope they dont get annoying to anyone.

Ok so it isn't the best but here is a few pics with some flex of the current stock explorer..probably should have disconnected the sway bars but it was just a quick pic so not bad but not full potential.... Work begins in one week from today!!!

couple more of my 91 in 2001...

Welcome!! Pics of your ride?

I have seen a first Gen stock with 32" 11.50's

hahaha just looking at this and forgot that i had posted this SO MANY years ago. Now i have another 1st gen and am in the process of a lift, tires, and gears front and rear.

You are more than welcome to come hang out and help out if ya want!! I plan to start on it on the 25th but am not planning to RUSH through it i want to take my time since i have another vehicle or two i can drive in the process.

I am currently living in clearfield. I am not "experienced" by any means it has been 12 years since i put one of these on and i have never done the gears before so that will be a learning experience but i will take lots of pics and try to post step by step at least daily once i get started.

Thanks Naasau i will definately check into those things. I haven't had a chance to take any pictures of my current explorer yet. But i Did find one of my old 91 and its my favorite so here is that

Ok to give a starting point i want to say that i have had a 91 X that i had the Superlift 5.5" lift on back in 2001 took it to MOAB and had a blast including jumping it 5' yes FEET off the ground at the dunes. However it was unfinished and i was 19 and traded it in for another vehicle and have...

OK i decided to try and tackle this yesterday. I had a hard time getting the Brown wire out while under the truck because i didn't jack it up or anything so i didn't have much room to move. However after i cut the wire and got everything out i was able to remove the wire... JUST A TIP--when...
