Watch out for that razor blade kitty!
Trailer is a cool deal. Better than scrapping it for a few bucks.
Since the bed is staying off, are you going to have a slant spare tire mount behind the cab? I realize that is far down the road, but just curious.
Cant wait to see this in person. Your moving right along.

out of curiosity, I noticed you ordered a high volume steering pump. would a pump from a 5.0 F-150 move more fluid than the explorer pump? I assume that since its a larger vehicle.

since i'm here, I'll say that B2 is turning out awesome!!

Probally not, Im not forsure thoe. I think the 1st issue would be that it may not bolt up directly and 2nd it may be a bigger vehicle but using the same steering box. Good question but i just went with the aftermarket unit since I know it bolts up and is rated for what I want to use it for.
Today once its not so early Im gonna call about a 97 v8 explorer thats 4sale, pretty cheap, might buy it to have some more extra parts and a few things Im missing that in long run junkyard diving will cost me more than i can hopefully buy this explorer if they still have it.
