    Taurus Electric Fan Install on 91 EX

    Ha ya its an waay old thread......no i dont sorry i scrapped the taurus fan a long time ago, just got tired of the high amp draw.

    92 explorer full width 8.8 and d44TTB

    no its still full width. Hence having to bring out the coil buckets outwards 4 inches on each side of frame. The drivers side bolts on without a hassle btw. Im working on the pass side right now as i type this. Im not locked in the front end yet so thats why we may be arguing on this and...

    92 explorer full width 8.8 and d44TTB

    the only mods i have done enginish wise is the snorkle and electric fan and i have a manual tcase. Im not afraid to snap the throttle when im stuck or about to get stuck in 4lo with my setup so torque shouldnt be an issue

    92 explorer full width 8.8 and d44TTB

    Yes i straight up bolted the 44 to the RBV drop brackets. no mods. The only problem i have had was the pass axle shaft. You can bolt the axle and run it but you cant run with the stock lenght. For some magical and retarded reason the pass shaft is too long and will not slide into the yoke...

    92 explorer full width 8.8 and d44TTB

    yes i cut the shaft, but ironicaly its still full witdth to the T. the pass shaft is the only issue you have or atleast i did and steering. I would of rather stayed away from my custom shaft but since i was doing a garage build and didnt have a job to extremely fund myself i did what i could...

    92 explorer full width 8.8 and d44TTB

    yes you can bolt it up to the BII/R/X drop brackets. I bolted it up and had to cut and sleeve the pass shaft about 2 inches. to achieve this and have it not break i took 1.5 reciever tubing .250 wall and litterally took a flapper disk and flapped the shaft stubs to a makeshift square and slid...

    92 explorer full width 8.8 and d44TTB

    ha i was just in kalmath falls not too long ago. family vacation. the ttb brackets work perfectly fine, the coil springs that are made for rbv bolt right in to the 44ttb and since you have to bring your coil towers 4 inches out you also have to bring your radius arms out as well... i brought...

    92 explorer full width 8.8 and d44TTB

    yes the drop brackets for the 35 fit the 44. you have to widen the front end 4 inches where the coils buckets go to properly align the 44 coil mounts on axle with correct position on frame. ive got about another 75 pics to add when this weekend. put the tre on top of knuckle (drill,reamed and...
