No the column is a 91 Explorer. That's what is messing me up. I thought if I use that column it would work but guess not..

I see no reason for it not to work...

Whatever is causing it is probably somewhere between the multifunction switch and the brake lamp wires going out to each bulb.

When the turn-signal stalk is in the middle, you should have continuity between both of your brake lamp wires, but the continuity should break when you flip it up or down for a turn. To me it sounds like that continuity might not be getting disconnected when you flip the stalk and is why both lights are trying to flash.
Does hitting the brake affect your blinkers at all too?
 






When I hit the brakes they over ride the blinkers and they stop. Thanks for thumbs up. I'm not going to make it to high.. Just to the top of the grill.
 






Yea so it's definitely something to do with the two brake lamp circuits not separating properly when you turn your blinkers on. That's where I'd begin troubleshooting with a meter, test light, etc. (pull the brake lamp bulbs out so you won't have the bulb filaments connecting the circuits to ground while you try to test them).

×2 on the winch, looks good (kindof how mine is, tucked under the grill a bit)


Good luck on it.
 






OK.. I added a small bar in front of the winch next a stinger...

On the stinger after I bent it I didn't like the way it creased at the bends, so I fixed it...

Still not done but looking better, I think!
 






I got the bumper done, I'll have to get some pics loaded. I found a 93 Explorer with this rear end tag.

I'm getting the hole explorer to get what I need. has 79K on it. Now with the D35 front, I will need to buy manual locking hubs? Or is there another set that will work on it?

Also found some these at the u-pull.

Will these springs work on my B2?

It's complete.

Just thought I would share..
 






Ok, got the 93 explorer and with the auto front hubs, can I use the manual locking ones from the f150 on the D35 front? Or do I have to buy new ones?

Thanks, Chris. Oh, I have new pics to upload later today.
 












This guy(? My daughter and wife are building up the 94 "X" that belongs to my wife, hence the ?) is getting with it on the buildup! Welcome and Rock on on the build up.
