Six years should be long enough...
Had to wait a week after buying to bring it home, since we bought on a Sunday with no plan in advance to bring it home. That was the longest week of my life.
We made the trip from Harrisburg, PA to the middle of Ohio over a weekend. The 1,000 mile roundtrip was rough on us but we made it.
First order of business was to get it on jack stands and lower neighborhood property values.
It looks like the 7.25 rear end had taken a beating. Good thing I already have a replacement.
The lack of severe rust was worth the price of admission. Not much to do other than clean it up and paint.
Started cutting all the original brackets off the Explorer 8.8.
For future reference, the big rubber isolator bolted to the right side of the housing is needed to take vibration out at high speed.
Got a little carried away with the torch and got into axle tube. Ill fill it in before i weld the new spring perches on.
