Thanks all. Everything has found a new home.
As I noted in the vehicles for sale section, I've had to give up on my long-time dream to convert my brother's 2001 Explorer Sport into a DD / trail and overlanding rig. I explain more of why in that thread, and you can find lots of background on the project in this thread or by checking out anything I used to post back in the day.
The upside for anyone looking for some parts and upgrades is that I have some good stuff I really need to clear out before I move, including some stuff that's never been out of the box. Here's Part 1 of the list (Part 2 is here), with some links to more info where I could dig them up.
$100 -- ARB Ford 8.8 differential cover, black, with LubeLocker reusable gasket (both new)
ARB cover at Quadratec; ARB Differential Cover for Ford 8.8 Axle Assemblies
LubeLocker at Quadratec; Lubelocker LLR-F880 "Reusable" Differential Gasket for Ford 8.8 Axles
$100 -- Pacer Performance Flexy Flares 52-206 (New)
On Amazon; Amazon.com: Pacer Performance 52-206 Flexy Flares Black 3-1/4" x 72" Full Coverage Heavy Duty Rubber Fender Extension Kit - 4 Piece: Automotive
$250 -- IBS Dual Battery System (New)
At Sierra Expeditions; Sierra Expeditions or Exploration Outfitters IBS Dual Battery Management System - By Extreme Outback
$40 -- ARB Differential Breather kit
I mounted the base to the fender and attached the front hose, then removed it without ever leaving the garage. Not calling it new so there's no misunderstandings, but this has never seen a minute of road use.

$30 -- Glow Shift Tinted 7 oil temp gauge (New)
On Amazon: Robot Check

$50 -- Warrior 153 heavy duty extended shackles
These things were great, and are still rock solid, but the finish just did not old up to the salt and snow around here. I would routinely strip and repaint them each spring.

$100 -- RCI front skid plate
These things are legend here, and the deserve to be. The weather got the best of the powder coating, but nothing ever even scratched this beast.
