8.8 install, 2000 Ford Explorer V8 AWD 151K mile donor with newer rear rotors and pads
Neglected oil seals and E brake
So we fixed it.
Smoothed the tubes with a plasma cutter and grinder and set it up with some new spring perches, massive U bolts, the stock ranger shock tabs and modified explorer U bolt plates.
New wheel seals, new e brake shoes, new 75W-140 w friction modifier and this 31 spline disc brake 8.8 is ready done
3.73 limited slip



























Factory ranger sway bar is retained with larger tube 8.8 and the explorer brake line and E brake cables are re used with the ranger intermediate cable
Done deal, ready for battle
I swear my Hobart 240v  mig welder works better with the generator then it ever did with "shore power"
