i had a lunchbox locker in the front of my explorer and it wasn't terrible in deep snow, but packed snow and ice was not very pleasant. i wouldnt recommend it

i've never seen the stock driveshaft fail in a way that wasn't catastrophic, so i'd be looking at the spiders

huh? the cut outs will cover up the cut, you won't be able to tell it's not the prettiest, or are the cuts all wrong? can't tell from the pic

direct bolt in except for the driveshaft at 6" of lift or so i didn't need to shorten it, but it was very close to needing it lower than that, and i'd expect that it's necessary only other concern is whether the gears match the rear

mine was always the opposite - no matter how dirty the rest of the truck was, the hatch never seemed to get nearly as bad

i think the wheels need to match the top is that a light bar or are you missing the back part of your roof rack?

looks about a million times better with the paint - sharp looking blue too

i had pictures when mine exploded, but i don't know where they are. this was a couple years ago never had a problem with any other filter on that truck again, and AFAIK i haven't heard of problems since i sold it the filter had ruptured on the side - i figured it was just one that made it...

that happened to me as well - same problem, same filter the filter failed spectacularly - it wasn't double gasketed. just a bad filter. no post-failure engine problems, but it happened while i was still on the driveway

i think the problem is because the roof line is so "thick" compared to the body line of the truck and if you chopped it a few inches it would look much better

they got a timeout for a week for actions in another thread

my banhammer is just but fierce

agreed - much smaller edit - i do like how he dealt with the window though

if you slam it, please chop the roof i think they look weird slammed with such a tall roof line. take a couple inches out of it and i think it'd look alright, just no idea how you deal with glass then. i'd love to see it covered to give it a box truck look

yes, the pinch bolt leave me alone, it was early :) it's been probably a couple of years since i've seen a TTB axle. mostly I remembered how big of a pain it was on the 35
