Detailed BII back hatch crack repair/reinforcement All, I have mentioned this repair several times but now have the pics to detail it. I got this hatch off Grimmity's 90 BII because it had the bosses for the flip out window and wiper taht I wanted. I'm adding heated glass too but this is...

nut plates for a swing out rear window. I was greatly surprised to find the rear hatch in Grimmity's BII has the riveted in nut plates. They are diffinitley factory installed but have never had bolts in them. Wierd as ths truck has defrost and wiper factory as well. The window is fixed...

Hey all, Anyone else have a problem with belt squeal on the 4.0 in a BII? I have so far replaced both idler pulleys, the tensioner assy 2 NAPA belts and now a Gates belt and the water pump. I thought I had it whipped with the Gates belt, nope since it got cold I'm getting the squeal at start...

Guys, Not sure what the cause is and looking for help. My 4.0/5 speed runs like a spotted ape, whatever that really means..., but since the cold (-30 to -50F) really hit up here the gas milage has plumetted. I know driving in extended cold will decrease milage but yikes mine is truly terrible...

Well, Here goes. I slid off the road this past Sunday, backwards at about 40 MPH. I went into the median ditch and hit on the right rear. Scared me but no harm done, or so I thought. I was able to drive right out but a couple miles later I arrived where I was headed and heard the right front...

When you guys converted to the 4.0 on a 86-88 BIIs what did you do for the fuel pump? I have an Explorer fuel pump in the tank and still have the rail pump on the BII side. I put the Ex pump/sending unit in to fix the fuel indication problem I had but now the truck just started bogging on me...

Guys, Got a head scracther here. I put the 4.0/5 speed/dash and entire chassis harness from a 93 Explorer in to my 88 BII and it runs and drives great but the fuel gauge didn't work, always read empty. Discovered the BII and Ex sending units use different ohms ranges. So I ordered up a...

All, I have now put 2 different Explorer dashes in my 88 BII and on neither does the fuel gauge read. The fuel gauge was working before I started modding this truck. The first one I spliced into my existing harness for the fuel gauge and it did not work. Okay so I thought I had goofed. I...

I FINALLY get to drive my 88 BII!!!:icon_bounceblue: At least I drove it a while last night and took it to work today. I love that 4.0 and 5 speed!! And yes, I know.....:worthless: I'll get some recent pics uploaded tonight, after I change the serpentine belt as this used one is squeeling...

Anyone here had issues installing an Aussie XD-13527 locker in a D35? No matter what I cannot get the measurement to come into spec. I had to grind a bit on the carrier window to get the parts in. The first measurement is between the cross pin and the center and I am at the low side with...

All, I’m looking at options to soften the ride quality on my 87BII that I just lifted. To get it level from the back I have explorer leafs, Belltech 6400 shackles and 4 1/2" blocks. I really want to have it all by springs and not the cobbled way I have it. I was hoping the shackles would give...

Woohoo I finally got a locker:icon_bounceblue: Thanks to Captain Ledd I will soon be locked front/rear! Here she is, and her new home to be:yahoo:

When running different gears in the front and rear axles? The door tags on the 91 I took apart indicated 3:45 limited slip. However, when I pulled the rear it was 3:73L, what I actually wanted.:headbang: When I had it up on a lift to pull the running gear I noticed the front axle u-joints...

Well, I picked up a maroon 93 Explorer XLT with a bad auto tranny for a song, at least here in Alaska, $400. Motor ran fine but needed a tune up. I put the 92 A4LD from my 88 BII project into it and tuned the motor up; runs perfectly now. :yahoo: Well, I replaced the door hinge pins as the...

Guys, For those of you have looked at my prior posts about this skyjacker lift kit I installed may have noticed my relative ignorance on this. I have another question to help reduce that ignorance some more. If I back up the tires look almost straight.:icon_confused: If I pull forward they go...

All, I'm in the middle of installing a Skyjacker front lift kit and need advice. I got the drop brackets installed and the axle swing arms back under the truck. I had to disconnect the radius arms from the axle housings and the cross member to get thewsing arm pivot bolts in. All went back...

Guys, Can you tell me what these brackets are for? :icon_confused: I have the brackets for the left and right TTB mounts but cannot figure out were these are supposed to go. Any guidance is greatly appreciated. I tried the Skyjacker website but still can't find thier purpose.

Well, You guys can laugh with, or at, me but I did up an 8.8 out of a 92 Explorer for my 87 BII a while ago and finally got around to installing it tonight only to find the perches are about a 1/2 inch to far toward the pumpkin. I put the new perches on before I cut off the factory ones and...

All, I have noticed over the last few days my 87 is making a sound like a groaning power steering pump but that is not the cause of the sound. It is happening in 2 or 4 wdr and any gear in the tranny (A4LD) and at any speed right up until the truck stops. As far as I can tell the sound does...
