This is the Explorer that would be pulling him:
1991 Explorer Sport 2dr
5.13 gears, lockers
Transfer case doubler, both cases manual, final crawl of 117:1
M5OD 5-speed tranny
31-spline 8.8 rear with discs
Dana 35 hi-pinion front with 760x joints, F-150 coils and shocks, manual hubs
Rebuilt 4.0L V6 Cologne OHV engine
Aluminum fuel cell, wiper cowl intake, 1350 driveshafts, OBA
35x12.5 ProComp MudTerrains on 10" RockCrawler rims
5.5" lift, trimmed fenders
Moog balljoints and TREs
It is however, NOT trail rated.
So the plan is that he will be getting my old 8.8 with a set of 4.56s and discs, some 95+ shafts up front, and my old 33" Swampers.
