i am friends with the majority of their current staff and no, they aren't. sure there is some influence but they are hardly swayed and do not skew facts.

Trying to decide if I want to order the s60 narrowed. If I do, I will be ordering a set of Weld RT-S wheels for it. Just need to decide if I want to give up my ZR1's.

slowgreen99 · 02-16-2011, 09:56 PM

Thats the rims I want, you bastard.

Matts94Z28 · 02-16-2011, 09:59 PM

Good choice! You can just get them in black.

slowgreen99 · 02-16-2011, 10:00 PM

planned on it

Matts94Z28 · 02-16-2011, 10:04 PM

Should look nasty.

worry about a rear and some nawz first. screw the wheels

Matts94Z28 · 02-17-2011, 09:31 AM

Screw 17's up front. I will just keep my GW's. I don't like the way the 17s look anyhow.

98nbmz · 02-17-2011, 11:51 AM

Matts94Z28 · 02-17-2011, 12:18 PM

only the 4x4 ones had the trac lok.... and they are offset 3 inches to the drivers side.

Several older ford pickups at Don's with 9 inch rears and a butt ton of the 4x4 exploders.

Then what was the LS used in the 2wd Explorer 8.8's?

toybreaker · 02-18-2011, 09:33 AM

Not saying absolutely there were never any. I have torn apart 30 looking for a 2wd exploder with a limited slip (diff is centered on 2wd) and found none.
I have found only 2 4wd ones that were peg leg. Lots of 3.73 geared, next is 3.55
a few 2.73's and a few 4.10's

To save you some trouble, it will tell you on the diff tag the ratio and if it is LS. For example 3 L 73 would be 3.73 w/ Trac-Lok. You can also look on the driver door sticker for the axel code you need. I know the 3.73 w Trac-Lok is D4 and D5.

I'm also not sure that all the 2wd Explorer housings are centered. I looked at about ten of them the other day and all of the 2wd's were offset as far as I could tell. I could be all F'ed up, (been known to happen) but as far as I could tell, most if not all I looked at were offset.

I got the heavier duty 9" i just pulled out of F150 if you want it 3.55 gear, but i havent opened it to see the damage. You could build it how you like.
