Thanks! It's nice to see people react that way instead of hate! Like I said before, hot rodding is about making your car perform the best it can with the parts available! But I can also understand and appreciate a build that's all original. All depends on your end goal.
Thats good to hear Rich! I have one of those laying around already. Good to know it can take the power! I'd probably do that then instead of a 9" lol. I was told the reason they're so strong from the guy who did my gearing is because the pinion has SO much support the way the center section is...
Agreed. I would 100% go 8.8 if it would take it since every single rusted explorer up here has them with disk brakes and 3.73 or 4.10 gears for like $100 to $200
I had the same concern coming from the offroad world with the tabs like that and being so tall, but Bill said he's never had an issue with them. I will say I have given the car its fair share of hardships and they've never been an issue! Now, if you were to put a camera on the rear frame and...

Ahhh that should help being on that part of the firewall!
Yeah I did. Can you send me a link to the electric ebrake kit he got!? That would be great haha.
Ha awesome! I've never been to SEMA! Its a ways from Vermont haha. Thats awesome that the 17s did the trick! lmao I'm also glad the build thread could be of help some how! Definitely go with the Malwood under dash hydraulic master! Its 100% a pain in the *** and without modification of the stock...
Ah you'll do it one day! Though being in WA rocky mountain race week may be a better option! haha thats much closer! I'd love to do that one one day as well.
ALSO, I'm surprised you recognized the car well enough from the live streams to know it was the same car here!
