i ran a doubler in my explorer sport. Nothing quite like having it in double low and being on a hill in 5th gear and being able to let the clutch out and climb the hill with no throttle assitance and that was with 3.73 gears. Now i have 4.88's. I hve a max speed of like 8 mph in double low lol.

I was thinking somthing like this

obviusly this is a full sized and you would have to accomidate for the cage but i think this would look realy cool

The top isn't that big of a deal being the truck isn't street legal.

heres the extended wheel base

stock B2 and stock tire size lol for size comparision

where did the cage go?

 

[CheapThrillB2]

the back half had to be removed and be redone. its in the back of Nd4spd's sonoma or atleast thats where it was when it left here lol B Pillar forward the cage is still the same.

 

[alboy79]

aah when you makin a purchase for the new cage?

 

[CheapThrillB2]

not sure, when the money is present to make a purchase lol.

I did find that i had a rear shock bent, was restricting the shock from compressing the last 5 inches of travel. I was wondering why my rear flex had decreased. guess i found it. Still have to mount the gas tank, m,ake new shock mounts, buy a shock, and hook the rear brakes back up.

What do you plan on doing diferent with the cage?

 

[CheapThrillB2]

where the cage bolted to the floor in the rear, is now where my tires tuff into the body so i had to clearance the body, i'll probably do some type of wrap around and tie it into the frame.

shifters and driveshafts

 

[Jdc215]

that thing is going to be bad ass. i was doing reading and found that unimogs come factory with gearing as low as 4500:1. that's ridiculous. your rig is has some serious torque. i don't know if you ever plan on putting new axles under your rig, but if you do this might be an option. they are not all that common but offering 7.14 gearing, and a factory locker and unmatched ground clearance i think this might be worth looking into.

I especially like the Series III land rover 88 at the bottom. i have been trying to find the build thread for that but i haven't seen it in about a year. if i find it i will send it to you.

 

[Jdc215]

guess its not a build thread but more of a photo gallery

nonetheless i like this rig a lot. i think the portal axles could be mounted spring over on a longer vehicle.

preview of the doubler, sticking working the shifters out, but you get the general idea.
