Be wary about being banned, someone else got banned for letting a banned member talk thru their screen name. Looks good guys.

Looks good so far. I haven't been keeping up much on this build but looks like I've been missing out so far.

He's saying that because your updated on Maurices project you are theoretically talking as though you were Maurice.

If admin's did that I would find that down right stupid. This build is a good resource about mods to do the truck. A lot of the stuff can be done to Ranger's and from what I've seen, Maurice does good work. No reason to start banning people left and right just because they post pictures of work of a banned member. At least IMO.

Ah I get it.

I have learned a lot from Maurice while helping him. He has worked my butt off too. Sure am glad I know I will get the help in return when we convert my Bronco II to 4wd.

Oh I think its stupid too but they did that with Aaron before. I just didn't want it to happen.

engdept, are you the one with the white Bronco that Mo posted? That thing is gonna be a great project truck, I want to get one when I graduate.

Yea that is my white Bronco II. It is my daily driver, so no real project truck; maybe a few years from now. It will be much nicer when we get the Dana 28 under it and the 4.10 gears. The 3.27 gears suck with 30's.

This is not to offend the mods or the powers that be, just to acknowledge this same thread with posts from the original author can be viewed here: http://www.generation-edge.info/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7917

Why does it matter? Leave it up the mods... It takes all but maybe 2 seconds for a moderator to see if Maurice and Engdept are the same person... they can act accordingly.

Personally, if all Engdept is here to post about in this thread I don't see what the problem would be unless some e-fight breaks out.

Thanks guys. We are aware of Andrew (EngDept) and he does actually exist for real. He is a friend of Maurice and is working on a similar project as you've seen. As of right now, there is no problem with him posting pictures and updates from both projects.

Here is what we did tonight....









This is a great find. Anyone with a smaller u-joint which is on a 7.5 axle and wants to upgrade to the Explorer 8.8 (or even if you have the smaller flange on a Ranger 8.8 axle), Spicer makes a conversion flange.



Dumb *** acting goofy..

Maurice grinded the head off the passenger side while I took an Explored leaf spring apart. The driver side bolt came out pretty easy. We drank more than we worked.

You can tell Maurice I like how he painted the outside of his frame and not the inside. Good work!
