I have a 1350 manual transfer case from an 88 bronco2 in my 2002 Explorer Sport and currently going through the case. It has a Ujoint inside the case for the front output and I’m needing to replace it. Now where in the heck do I find one of these ujoints??? Having zero luck so far! Any help...

Thanks all, maybe a reason I could never get around to selling our red Explorer!

No go for us. Just found out the wife is pregnant and will be due September 4th I think. I guess a meet is just not in the cards for us this year.

5.0 started in 96 and would probably give you the least drivetrain problems, (probably none). They also don’t have transponder keys till 98, so no issues to worry about there either. Second gens have a very reliable chassis also, just expect worn out ball joints which is no big deal. I...

Going to be a no go for sure. Graduation is on the 3rd. Hope to see lots of pics of all the fun I miss out on!

Just thought of something, daughters graduating this year (I hope) gotta check the date on that. Lot of family coming, not sure when they are coming or for how long. Could be a problem.

Going to do my best to get there, won’t know for sure for a couple months anyway. I believe the black one can finally make a trip without breaking down. It’s first time in Moab breaking the steering, then it’s next trip in Black Mountain with the drivetrain getting pushed into the radiator, all...

We were going to do the train once, can’t remember why we didn’t, but would still like to.

Wedding anniversary is August 30th, we spent our honeymoon in Ouray. If there’s a chance we can get in an anniversary trip, I’ll be voting for the 1st.

I thought the terrain was great! I love the mud and rock gardens! Definitely want to go back, just not next year, want to go back to Moab. So... maybe in two years, or just take a week sometime and go. I think my wife has some more pics I can post.

We made it to my folks in Wisconsin yesterday without issue, another week before we start thinking about heading home.

We've decided to drive through, so we will be at the Harlan County campground around 1:30 or 2 AM. We called them first and they said come on in nobody's in your spot.

Yea, just pressure washer no soap or scrubbing.

Packed and ready to go in the morning!

Plus one

There is some sand in there, I did just go over it with a pressure washer in my backyard. I'm pretty sure Rick will be in Moab, so I don't see him being there.

Ok, debating whether or not to wash it... I really don't want to spend the time doing it... I don't know...

Last weekend! New joints to put in the spare axles and dump the oil on the diesel and we're ready to roll out Thursday!

Got my spare mounted today, I think it worked out well. Just have to slide it out of the receiver to open the hatch, no biggy for now.

All I think I got left is making a spare tire carrier on the back, and find some spare dana 44 axles from work. I'm just gonna assume I'll break a joint up there.

We're up for the seafood and are staying at the Harlan County Campground. And after watching some videos on the Lions Den, I think we'll stay away from that one. I really don't want to smash up the body, right now I only have a front fender to replace and it'll be straight again. Still trying to...

I agree it doesn't qualify, but gave us something to talk about!

Yea, that is great news! Dam IRS trying to break Our back! I have to do so much side work to stay afloat it's rediculous!

Question for y'all, does anyone know how many degrees of tilt it took before tipping over? Especially in the lifted explorers.

And now to resolve the tippy issue, swapped the front leafs for some 3/4 ton leafs. Then purchased some 38.5" Swamper Boggers! Oh, and lowered the suspension a couple inches. Getting ready for the trip to Kentucky now, this is after it's test run with new bigger tires, only broke a Ujoint in the...

Then a while after that, upgraded to dana 44 and 36" Super Swampers, swapped in both front and rear axles from a '94 Dodge Ram and took it on its maiden Moab voyage! It did awesomely except for breaking the steering on Hamburger Hill.

Haven't updated, so here's some catch up. Did a dana 30 swap from a Cherokee with leaf springs from another Explorer. The flex was awesome but very tippy feeling.

Plus 2!

Caleb, maybe you want to wait to do that body work!

I had no idea that was a new rig last year, only noticed bigger tires than before, but I think I only saw it once. Wish I knew, I would have checked it out much closer! Excellent job putting it together!

Tested the ex last weekend and no more feeling like we're gonna tip over all the time, but guess I need to change the front axle u joints to spicer because I broke one just turning in the mud. Replaced it out there with a cheap oreilly joint that I'm sure won't last long...... Almost ready...

Looks like a very scary moment!

Happened about 5 years ago right after the dana 30 sas, now it has a 44. I was cresting a hill and didn't see the washout until I was in it, only crushed in the fender, a little on the door enough so the window wouldn't roll down and broke the mirror off. I actually think that the front right...

If flops count, does this count??

That's awesome! I'll be looking for ya in the other episodes!

We'll arrive late Friday and have opted to stay till Monday morning.

I'm not sure where to post this but... Dirt Every Day is now on Netflix and if you check out the fifth episode you'll see Brian and his Ex doing a trail run with an old jeep!! Also appeared in other episodes! For those of you that didn't know.

We have opted to do the Kentucky run this year, since it's on the way to go see family, so it's a no go for us this year.
