8 lug explorer??

[Rydin Dirtay]

OH and it was 8 lug 4x4, he needed an 8 lug cause he huals a lot of stuff i guess.. and puts a lot of weight in the bag.. man but 8 lugs? on an SUV thats mostly stock? crazy... ill see if he will let me take a few pics to give em to ya.

 

[Robb]

Once again, I am gonna need pics to even begin to believe this story. This new discovery asks more questions than it answers.

 

[Gonzo]

Was it a 1st or 2nd gen? Did you ever figure out how he got stock wheels on an 8-lug?

 

[FordZilla]

All I can say is man, you win the hardcore Xman prize for camping out 3 hrs past quitting time to ambush the owner.

I hail thee...LORDX

for sure. i could see the dana 44 for offroading, but seriously why go thru all the hassle to try the dana 60 in a stock ex, and if you haul that much why not just buy a bigger vehicle? i love my ex but i couldnt want to torture it by having that much power but stil keeping the rest stock.

pics would help though

 

[gavin]

and an SAS at stock height? The pumpkin's gonna be hittin the engine x-member like mad!
def. gotta wonder why a D60 SAS and no lift

 

[Black Magic]

I think everyone would still love to see pics!

 

[N2MUDN91]

Soo many stories, without pictures. I'm with the other guys, I want some pics.

 

[Gonzo]

Me too

 

[GaSouthern1]

I found the 8 lug beast ... well 8 lugs

This could be an 8 Lug wheel, or at least looks like one-

Ok so maybe Not, but its the closest I could come. Found it in the suspension forum - from Sams truck I think. Thanks

 

[gavin]

looks like an 8-screw center cap to me

 

[njsjfonline]

Thats my X They are plastic hub caps
I never ment to make it come off looking like An 8 lug wheel. But thats Funny LOL

Today I saw a mid-90's F250, and it had an 8-lug axle on it. Maybe the guy put F250 axles under his rig, but then again, I don't know if that would even work (fit)...

ohhhhh okay...
talkin about the 8-lug Sploder.. might have put F250 axles under the Sploder..
guess I didn't catch that

 

[Rhett]

Well yeah, sorry if it confused ya. I meant I saw an F-250 today...and F-250's have 8-lug axles/wheels.

So then I thought maybe that guy with the 8-lug Explorer had somehow put F250 axles under it.
