well 4 inches and 33s arent exactly biiiig

unless you SAS, in explorer terms 4" suspension is biiig; or they make a bigger suspension lift than 4" for the 1997 explorers now that i dont know about?

give him 6 months and he'll be tossing on a 3" BL and 35s :D :thumbsup:

Exactly. 4'' for the IFS is a pretty hefty deal.

If all this is for only six months then I'm loco!! :confused::confused:

No, I'm going to rock this for a while, and then if I do anything, it'll be a D44 Rubicon SAS.

But, I picked up a new front axle today and found a shop down the road from me who'll regear it. I might need a hand a few weekends from now to get it all in.

But, enough of a hijack on this thread, I'm starting a new one here:

I was hoping it would be a bit more dry leading up to the 5th. I'd rather more thick mud rather than watery puddles. I wanna hit some THICK slimy mud rather than the brown water we always seem to encounter.
 






still no driveshaft!:roll: I asked the dealer today about one and he started laughing! They are discontinued and they were $700 before that!:eek:
 






Holy crap! Josh have you hit up a junkyard yet?

You need the 6-bolt circular "cup" CV flange shaft, right?

hey guys,i went down to wharton yesterday,i talked to the ranger station people.she gave me a map of wharton,how to get to apple pie hill from the road if we cant get there by trail,and a list of other state parks,well after that i decided to go "play" a bit,went through this one mud pit sorta kinda like quick sand cause there was no water,but when i went to go back the same way,i got stuck,was stuck for over 2 1/2 hrs there,i went out to the road and flagged some guy down with a ram 2500 and he got me out,i was stuck in someone elses holes,cause when i got out,there was 4 big ass holes where my tires were,i only have 30x9.50x15 on the rear and 235/75/15 in the front..and i know the rear ones werent from me,looked like possibly a 15" wide tire truck was stuck there cause as soon as i hit them holes it just sunk,yea i will never go alone again,lol,ill have pics up of my truck later...oh and the lady at wharton will give us bags to pick stuff up,and i guess when we get bags or whenever we talk 2 them when we are there we can just ask them where to drop them off at

yes this is the one I need. I also put a request in at the link you PM"ed me. I talked to a friend today who tows cars and he gave me a couple of ideas including' finding one sitting at the mall! Thats starting to sound like a good idea! Top it all off, my starter decided it was done starting this morning! WTF!:mad:

My starter died shortly after the last run I was on and we got her going by whacking it. I ended up replacing it in under 2 hours (including the parts store run) with the truck in the dirt (not jacked up), so you'll be fine! Reman starters blow.
 






We need to all move down to Maryland. I had a little "errand" to do for wok. I got down to D.C. and it was Sunny, 68 degrees, and not a cloud in the sky. meanwhile back in 'Ol Jersey its dark, 48 degrees and over cast.

And Josh, I drove through Newark, DE. :)

Yeah the starter is easy to get to. I put the entire engine in the truck in about 4 hours! I jush have to come up with the money for a starter and a driveshaft before the 5th. I have my motorcycle to ride and it gets 45 mpg so I'm not stranded but I have a 25 minute ride to work tom. and its gonna be 29 degrees!

Andy, how did you like 95 thru de, all 15 minutes of it?
 












just got my rims on wednesday and got my tires friday night 31x10.50 BFG ATs on black cragars looking good

Very nice. I'll update your profile.

15 mins my butt. The bridge was slow and the toll plaza after that was stopped dead. But at least it was warm enough to put my windows down. :D

EDIT: Who's CRAZYBOY? Is this Gene, Chris or Sal?
