so i was driving the truck around in the yard for the first time with the new truck, and the whole time i thought it felt like it was in 4-lo, just seemed really touchy.

Now the whole time i had my Sport it was always a dog. Never had any balls, then again the motor had 340+K on it.

Now i reused the same trans,tcase, rear axle/gears that the explorer had, only difference was the motor. The motor i am using now has 170K on it.

But man what a diffference this new motor feels like in 2hi what the old one did in 4lo

So i bought a Gas tank today along with Straps and the filler hose and the attachment part for the body/gas cap. Got them from the u-pull-it yard. $36 also got the fuel pump and sender with it. The tank had a slit in it from where they punctured it to drain it. I filled the tank with water and welded the slit over. Rolled the tank on the end with the slit and let it sit for an hour. NO LEAKS.........so the fuel system is ready to go. Now i just need a carrier and 4.88R gears and she should be just about ready. I got a few side jobs going this week so i think i may be ready to order the gears and install kit Fri.............................

oh and the best part is that the tank-straps-filler neck were all already removed so all i had to do was pick it up, didn't have to lift a single tool to get the parts

[CheapThrillB2]

Got the Gears Installed tonite (D44's suck in comparsion to my 8.8 and D35 i set-up), also just placed an order for some Superflex EB coils

 

[Shotgun]

cant wait to see it on the trail

 

[jeeperbrian]

softer coils indeed, looks great though. im starting to like these b2's

 

[lilbigfoot93]

If you need any ford parts (IE) v8 stuff or james duff radiator I have lots of parts bronco looks great I like the straight body you may get some shit but I would try to keep it some what straight:rock:

 

[CheapThrillB2]

as far as the body goes, i think having the tires stick out 6-8 iches past the fenders may help keep the damage off, atleast i hope. I banged up my old explorer quite a bit


Got the 4wd operable,went out in the yard and slung the mud across the side of the truck, amazing what a difference being so much wider makes
