This Swap Took YEARS. 

Thank you everyone for your kind words and support! I've received a few comments asking about camber and rear driveline angle so I thought I'd address it here. I haven't actually set the camber yet, it's still set to whatever the junkyard axle came with. I'm hoping I can get it close with stock-like camber bushings, but if not then more radical measures will need to be taken. The pinion angle matches the t-case angle, but it is a little extreme. The rear suspension right now is basically just stock suspension with a spring over axle swap and so the pinion angle shouldn't be an issue with how little travel it has. I will upgrade the rear in the future to match the front travel and while I'm doing that I will make the pinion angle much more mild. Thank you all for your input!

When the slow motion hit and the water started hitting I instantly felt so joyful and almost shed a tear. Lol. Great build brother love too see the work you put in .

06:34 ahhh victory music.

This is great to see especially in my favorite car from the 90's.

Still laughing about the short circuit. Done it many times myself. Nice to see Frankendeisel drive. Love it.

The monster its alive. Nice

What a monster 👀

Well done for seeing it through🙂👍🏻

Bit of a rake to it though. And Holy turning camber.

Nice Job!

This is so cool! I love having ideas I think no one is done, and seeing someone do it! It’s like a dream come true! So well done, I wish amazing work like this would get some more exposure

Been waiting in anticipation to see her in motion. Well done!

Awesome job man! Cool combo!

Inspirational build. Nice work on seeing it thru.

I genuinely love the attention to detail and the engineering lingo, being an engineer/car enthusiast myself I enjoy watching someone with two similar trains of thought

Freaking awesome! It's looks and sounds so cool driving! Can't wait to see how it handles off road! Great work and videos!

How cool to see it finally driving!

It's alive! Can't wait to see it officially roadworthy and doing some serious offroading :D This series inspired me to work on my own project. Gave me that push I needed to finally fix up my S10 Blazer :)

Looks like it needs a good bit of caster added.

I definitely commend you for getting this all done. Your pinion angle scares me haha. You should cut the spring perches off and adjust the pinion angle properly and weld em back on. Lastly the camber seems crazy out of whack as well. I believe you can get adjustable camber sleeves to correct some of that for cheap

As soon as you said the steering was shaking I thought the lines are backwards. I haven’t had that issue with steering but have seen reverse line issues and they do weird things.

i build k steering and its works great and u get full travel steer

What a cool and unique build! The driveline angles and camber look kinda off, but I'm sure you're working on a solution.

You should probably get some more negative camber in those adjuster bushings. Did you cut and turn the beams? You might have to depending on your 'lift" amount (difference from factory ride height angle for the D50 TTB). I know you can taste it being done though. I'm excited for you!

The ford 250 coils spring fit in the same spring top bucket as the explorer??? Are they the same diameter? How many inchs you gain in lift?

Worried that once you do a real road test and the tires heat up, you will lose your clearance to get back into the garage. ☺️

What all parts you had to change to get the job done?
