Well Just a few addons..i got the explorer axle with 4.10 gears and a limited slip..added rear reverse lights..not wired up yet..and soon to be added explorer light up twin visors I cant believe how good the truck stops and accelerates now..

 

goood work, that l/s will be extra nice come winter time.

 

why 2 axles?

 

i got the 3.73 explorer axle for 125 complete...well i wanted 4.10s but they didnt have it well i waited and then they called me and told me they for a 4.10ls rear they will give me and it was missing the brakes and a messed up brake line so i swapped over all the parts from the 3.73 and put them on the 4.10 rear then welded the leaf perches and installed it...i spent 70 bucks on diff fluid it required 75w 140 fully synthetic sucked but oh well...im scrapping the old 7.5 rear and returning the other 8.8 to the junkyard and picking up some other parts.

 

thats my next mod! expo rear axle

 

Lookin good man. Id like to do this at some point in time.

 

thanks guys...going today to weld some shock mounts

 

stay tuned i will be plasma cutting the shock mounts off the old rear end and welding them to the explorer rear end

 

got the old shock mounts cut off the old axle and welded them to the explorer axle..i mounted them the way i wanted it and got my waggy d44 axle aswell

 

Nice man, but that's cheating with the lift for the axle swap. I had to use a forklift to hold the truck up when I did mine.

 

Thats The Nice Thing about army life the use of the car craft shop..6 bucks an hour for a lift bay and any tool you could possibly need for 50 cents an hour for special tools

 

Nice!
