    My 85 B2 w/4.0 swap and more...

    Ok, got the 93 explorer and with the auto front hubs, can I use the manual locking ones from the f150 on the D35 front? Or do I have to buy new ones? Thanks, Chris. Oh, I have new pics to upload later today.

    I got the bumper done, I'll have to get some pics loaded. I found a 93 Explorer with this rear end tag. I'm getting the hole explorer to get what I need. has 79K on it. Now with the D35 front, I will need to buy manual locking hubs? Or is there another set that will work on it? Also...

    OK.. I added a small bar in front of the winch next a stinger... On the stinger after I bent it I didn't like the way it creased at the bends, so I fixed it... Still not done but looking better, I think!

    When I hit the brakes they over ride the blinkers and they stop. Thanks for thumbs up. I'm not going to make it to high.. Just to the top of the grill.

    Now for the remote button plug. Sorry guys, but I removed the FORD emblem and put it there. I think it's a perfect spot for it. I also wanted to be able to run the winch from inside the cab without having to run the remote trigger from the grill through the window. So I installed a on/off...

    Got the new winch in and on.. I moved the trany cooler back a little bit and I dont like the solenoid for the winch to sit on top, so I removed the cover and put it out of the way. I'll let the pics tell the story.

    Added some lights under the hood.. Much better! And I built me a different steering wheel. The 93 was in bad shape. Had this one laying around at the shop so I cut the center out and put this one in. I like it. This is everything that I removed from the B2... I also weighed it, 3680...

    Yelp, I had to put a new tank in due to pin hole leaks under the straps. I used the pump and sending unit form a 90 B2 and put a new pump in the tank that gives me 48psi to the 4.0. Also used the fuel lines from the 90 to the 4.0.

    Thanks for the info.. found a 97 EXP drive train. I think I'll just do that for now. I built me a front bumper over the weekend. It's nothing special but it will do. I also ordered my 8k winch tonight. It's a old street sign and it was a pain to get it to form, so I used the jack...
