1992, Ford, Explorer XLT on delivery day. A perfectly good daily driver with the exception of needing front wheel bearings. Came with a recent rebuild on the tranny. Only cost me $400 and I thought I would recoupe that by parting it out. I finally gave up that idea when I figured out that my area only has idiots reading craigs list!

Finally Airborne! Now I have to cut it into manageable sized pieces to haul it off for scrap. Hope I can get enough to pick up a sandblaster...

Just need to get her pressure washed, sandblasted and back into the garage by the time the last of my susspension parts arrive.

How do you haul a 1992 Explorer when you don't own a trailer? ...in very small pieces! Scrap prices suck right now so it dosen't look like I will be able to pick up a sandblaster any time soon. The way it looks, Superlift just throws out whatever ship date you want to hear, I have no idea when the rest of my lift will ship so maybe I will have time to get the chassis blasted after all...

The F-1 as she sits today. Pulled into garage hoping to get cab lifted and bed loosened prior to my front end parts arriving.The goal, set it onto the Exploder chassis and start mocking up body mounts while rebuilding the front end...

Been busy since Christmas. Finally got the body off the donar '92 Explorer. I should be getting the last of the parts for rebuilding and lifting the front end today. Got the cab off the '50 F-1 last night.

I was going to take the bed off too but the P.O. welded it on in such a way that I'll have to take off like a Rubix Cube... They sure look weird with the bodys off. The way the Exploder chassis looked, I was afraid my measurments of wheelbase were wrong til I put them side by side.

Due to bad weather it took two weeks but, I finally got the frame sandblasted & painted. Got her back in the garage and ready to take the frontend off for 5" lift and rebuild.

The shocks that came with the SuperLift kit were maxed out and 2" short at static height! The cure? I took the upper shock mounts off an F-250 and welded them into my coil/spring towers. This gave me an additional 8" of shock height, allowing me to go with Ranchos that max out at 36"

Nothing like a little lift up front! As it sits now, the top of the radiator sits chest high to me. (I'm 6'4")

I went with a spring over axle setup and made my own custom shock mounts to replace the whimpy stock setup. They now have 12" of travel and I can lift a tire 15" before the other starts to leave the ground

The cab off the F-1 is just sitting on the chassis and it's starting to look like this will all be worth while when I'm done!
