Where did Jimbo92 come from? Why my 1992 explorer I had in high school of course. She was a 2 door 5 speed 2 wheel dig that was actually lowered when I got it. Baja Blue in color and ready to party. Dude must have done a ton of drugs in it because I got pulled out of class every time the drug dogs came.
This truck has major history. I learned more on it than any other vehicle. I met my fiancé giving her a ride in it 16 years ago, we dated in it, we worked on it, we converted it to 4 wheel drive, it even ended up featured in her yearbook even though we went to different high schools. Fast forward to 13 years after I sold it sitting at a bar in folly drinking and laughing about how funny it would be to find it and have it at our wedding....so I got to searching. Ended up still being around behind a guys place next town over. He works with Jeffs parents (Blazer guy) and thats how I tracked him down. A little worse for wear but a crazy little time capsule. Even has some of my stickers still on it from high school.
Original plan was to clean it up, spray some paint on it and play a wedding prank with it. The project has sort of uhhh...escalated.
I've got a built 9" and 44 in the garage from an early bronco.
9": Currie hi9, 488s, arb, 35 spline chromos, truss, and discs
44: 4:88s, arb, reid racing knuckles, crane diff cover, high steer, chromos, ctm joints, and a truss.
These are getting mounted via a james duff long travel SAS setup with 5.5" deaver coils and spring over in the rear.
Have McNeil racing 4" flared glass fenders on the way, corbeau Baja rs seats, 35 bfg ko2s, and method wheels as well.
First step is to replace the clutch that is shredded and hanging out of the bell housing and get it drive-able and go from there.
Should be a neat little trip down memory lane and I've finally found a project I won't be able to sell! I'm building the truck I used to draw in class.
