We have a thread for this already, don't we?:thefinger:

Best "before" I can find. My brother telling me what he thought about how we were spending Christmas eve together. Stock


Stock


The early life. Stock, with winch, no damage. My first real wheeling trip.


Stock, with winch


Playing dead, flipped it back over, poured a quart of oil in it and drove it 80miles home. Stock, with winch


Hell Hole


Homebrew 2" lift on 31"s


Added stinger hoop and spot lights


Climbing out of Hell Hole


Full width SAS, on 37"s


Been through a lot in the last three years. Memories....

Dealer: what intake is that? Looks alot different than the one on my 84? I am hoping to really clean up the engine bay after I do the duraspark conv.

Added my before and after: Not too long after I bought it, only things I did was add a sub, new tierods w/alignment and an AC compressor and r134 conversion


Now: preety much the same with new wheels. after xmas going to get a 3" body lift (I need one puck for the lift if anyone has one they would sell me or donate :p) and eventually an explorer springs front and rear. and yes the duff bumper is still on there.

From stocker to rocker!!

Here she is all stock and shit.



Here she is after the first set of mods were complete. 4.0L swap, d35/8.8 swap, 3" BL, 2" suspension lift and sitting on 35" Swampers.




Here she is now basically, full width sas and 38's.




Wow, this trip down memory lane was cool, she sure has come a long way since stock.

I'll support the trend of NOT using BII pics.
