Had the pleasure of doing coil packs and spark plugs on a 5.4 this weekend, so not much progress. I'm starting to cycle it so hopefully I'll have it back on it's own weight by the weekend.

I like your vision, looks awesome. I too have a love for the unique.

Shackle pivots &, shock mounts tacked

Rounding the corner on this thing. Lots of little detail work, cycling, locating pivots, moving perches, etc. Should be back on it's feet this weekend.

Back on its feet. Still need to panel it in & do some fine tuning.

Amazing build man looks great. Makes me miss my ranger prerunner. Looks like jamul in the background of some of the pictures if I'm not mistaken

Thanks!, most of the pics are out in the Blossom Valley area where I live

Kind of have to look close to see what I'm up to here. I'm building a perimeter frame work out of .75 tubing to mount all the sheet metal up to. I also tied the cage into the body, it's crazy how solid the rear of the truck feels now.

Also picked up some new bedsides from McNeil Racing. The old ones were embarrassing to say the least. My tires were smacking before getting to full bump, just seems so pointless to have bedsides that cant clear the most basic axle upgrade. McNeil is going to work with me to build a true 6" over bedside that works with the stock wheel base, I'm stoked.

Spent most of the weekend doing this!

Needed to check off the final thing on my original list of things I said I wouldn't do!

Picked up this 22" single row 5 watt light bar from 1107 Offroad. He has some really good quality light bars. These aren't Amazon specials and they have a lifetime warranty. Check him out! I'm going to recess it into the grill, should be nice and clean and low pro.

Also cut an access panel under my rear seat for the fuel pump and changed it out. It's been screaming at me for 2 years now. I was hesitant to get a non Motorcraft pump, but the Delphi I picked up is dead silent. Very happy I did this before I got stranded.

Any reason you chose the 1st Gen Explorer over the 2nd Gen?

I see tons of 4.0L builds like yours, and I'm always surprised at how few people spend that kind of money on the 302 models. Is that because it had a manual trans stock?
