...A red X, ya that says alot:thefinger::icon_cheers:

Dzrtcj7,

Thanks for the advice.

I was looking at my bumper design and was thinking it might be a little front heavy, especially with a winch. So I was thinking of doing something like this but with a front receiver, so I could still use a cradle mounted winch.

According to Solidworks, my bumper weighs 62.67 pounds with .120 wall tube, plus a 100 pound winch.
Im also liking the Gen 1 prerunner look, rather then doing 2007 front conversion.

I'm trying to find out. From what I can see its a 3" over D35 up front and 8.8 discbrake out back. I believe the 2.9L is still in it. Coilovers up front and tripple bypass' out back. Deaver leaf pack of sort with a flipped shackle.

I don't know the year so I'm trying to dig for more info on it. It's for sale too.

Solidworks 2008

I still might have the files somewhere if you want them. I went a completely different direction from those early designs.

Here is how she sits now.

Here is another one with McNeil fenders





Do you own this ride? I looked at it last year in Phoenix, or in that area, I don't remember. If you own it would you take a couple of well lit photos of the inner fenders, front and rear? I don't remember how they, (McNeil), finished them off. I think I have mine set but it doesn't hurt to compare.

Thanks,
Greg

PS, I took several photos of this truck when I was there.

Yes I own it now, I will work on getting pictures next weekend. It is currently at a friends house getting worked on. In it's current stage it doesn't look as nice as the pictures, someone beat on it and never fixed what they broke.

Thanx in advance for the pics! I passed on the truck, as you say, it was WELL USED! Good potential though. I almost bought the explorer front kit like on yours when McNeils had it on sale for $300.
