Thanks.. came out of a 79 f250 and converting it to 5 lug using bronco/f150 knuckles and everything out, I put in a Spartan locker and 4.88 gears and a full width 8.8 will go in the rear as well to match
 












Thanks.. I have a diff thread of it with the full widths in.. I had to cut up my grill since I moved the front axle forward about five inches, the tires would have rubbed the headlights basically

Nice work! Good pics. Your pictures give me a lot of ideas for my future project, Mountain Mounty.
 






Thanks.. yeah it's def not your average explorer anymore lol.. I refused to get a Jeep since I'm a Ford guy and wanted something different out on the trail and rocks
 






Hope the heater is still hooked up. Amazing craftsmanship.
 






No I tore the heater out haha.. I don't wheel in the winter because I store my expedition for the winter and don't want salt and rust taking over on it
