Can't wait to see it when it's all finished! Nobody will know who we are now that we have new rigs to wheel.

wow been a long time since i gave a update for this thing. so using the bronco frame wouldn't work out so i needed to swap everything over to the explorer frame built motor mounts then did a test fit...yes a big block will fit in a explorer bought some headers from scrambled bill let me tell ya if you don't know replacing dana 60 king pins are a b@*ch and don't try using a 1/2 drive ratchet it will break made some brackets for the shackles because the frame is narrower than the springs this is how it all mounts together now a few poser shots need to do some trimming

Uhhhh, I never in my wildest dreams thought I would ever hear myself say this but that FORD looks awesome, better yet that's the coolest Exploder I've ever seen. I can't wait to see some sheetmetal removed to accomodate uptravel, that's going to look and work great. flip.flop
