While my explorer has served me well and is dependable, One of my favorite trails will have a width and wheelbase restriction imposed this summer, the wheelbase limit is 109” so my explorer is too long.
My plan is to take the 88 bronco2 I have and put the 4.0, suspension and axles out of my explorer in it and use a modified C5 out of a 84 B2 I have. Which will be connected to a doubler I have had sitting on my workbench for over a year.
To fit the 37” Iroks I have I plan on a 2” body lift and tub the rear and tube type front fenders, the reason for the 2” body lift is the US forest service is expected to impose a tire size limit of 35” in the near future, I can downsize to a 35” tire and remove the body lift.
More to come when I make some progress
