project green meanie

hi all!

i just picked up some uni-mog 404 diffs that i am putting in my 94 explorer..
i am using 16"air shocks in the front with either a 3 link or a one link :eek:
the rear i am up in the air with..it is definatly getting linked,but i am trying to do it without moving the gas tank..
it is auto,and obviously that scares me..i was thinking of going with the c-4/5 combo...what transfer cases were offered behind those trannys?i would like to have a doubler made,buy it might not be nessasary because the diffs are geared 7.54!but i was thinking that i might need the length of a doubler to make the super long mog pinion work.i am planning on pushing the front end way forward...
i will run the unimog 20" rims with 39.5 iroks...and i want to try out tractor tires in the winter,i think they will rock in our sloppy forrest trails here on vancouver island...
how far back will i have to move the rear diff to clear 39.5's with good articulation?
i am willing to chop the rear wheel wells strait out the back if nessasary..
the top will be choped behind the rear doors,and i am going to try to graft the upper half of the hatch back on there...think it will work?
exo cage also..
as soon as i get my camera working again i will get some shots of what i'm working with...
thats it for now.

ANY!!!! pics you get of this or parts, Email to me at CalebHartline@gmail.com and i can host them, jsut besure to say what your U/N is and what thread this is for.....
 






Signing up for pics.
 












ok,i will find some battery's for the digi and download what i have later..thanks!
but keep in mind that i am just starting to collect parts for this project.
 






subscribing for pics/updates :)
 






i have some pics if i could e-mail them to somebody?
i sent them to explorerkid,but no reply in a few days..

oh,and i picked up some double convoluted(sp) air bags for the rear suspention...they only have 8 3/4" travel,but i am going to put them half way up the rear links,so that sould double there effective travel.
hopefully a side effect of the bag being half way up the link will be if i drop a link on a rock real hard,it should be transfered right to the bag,rather than trying to bend the link...think that's a good theory? :D
 






Wow, this sounds like quite the project, definately post those pictures, I would volunteer but my internet access is satelite and it SUCKS.
 






Sounds like a great project. FYI, if you become elite, you can post your own pics. :)
 












Subscribed. Can't wait to see this beast.
