I love it when parts come. When do you plan to install all of this?

 

[sn0border88]

Lots of things in thw works, so just an update of the "plans."

Hopefully by the winter...

Chopped Top with the rest made to fit with a truck bed cap or similar (canvas?)
I need to be able to drive this on the street in the winter so I cant have it open.

Exo Cage/ integrated tire carrier water/fuel/hilft in chopped area.
Tube bumper
d30 hung in place, used to mock up for a d44.

By Next Summer (in time for 11th annv. run)
built d30/44 depending on funds

Im counting on the transmission blowing any day now, and I think the head gasket is leaking (choc milk coolant) IF it does, ill either throw in a manual trans and repair the head gasket, or do the 302 swap (or possibly a 350 or one of the amc v8's).

Im getting a new vehicle ('00 stang gt) this summer for sure, so I can take all the time I need on these projects.


I also have a few small things that Ill do if I ever feel like it.

Rust coat the undercarriage
Repair the rockers and bedline (maybe do the whole thing in bedliner?)
Finish my half doors
Make a new center console out of fiberglass with spots for my iPod, maglight, ka-bar, a few cups, and my gauges/switches.

 

[xman98]

sounds like your going to be busy for a while, good luck with the transmission

I could only wish mine was that big... oh well

I just re-read and saw this

 

[moose1]

Like the truck sno, but I nhave a question and seeing your truck you will definitly be able to answer this.

Im currently looking for a explorer stly such as yours, and looking for 33' possible 35" how much room do you have for the 33' as far as travel when you wheel? can you fit a 35'. Im asking this so I can estimate the amount of lift I will need depending on my decision on tire size.

Thanks.

 

[sn0border88]

I could fit a 37, which im doing very soon. With just a 6" lift you should be able to clear 35's.

 

[JDraper]

I've got 5.5" of lift on my truck on 33's with no problems (except for the offset) and I could probably tuck 35's under with just minor trimming. Rim size and offset will make a big difference when it comes to rubbing when turning.

 

[dkkne]

I have a 3" body lift and with minor trimming on the inside corners, 33's fit perfect at full lock and full compression.

 

[sn0border88]

Well, tranny blew up today.

Well, tranny blew up today.
