2DR explorers never came with V8's, not sure if there is a reason for this?

Keep with your plan as is, 4door and 60 swap, cut the roof out for the most part and make a canvas cover, remover the glass and gut the doors, finish out the cage. I think it is a kickass setup just needs some tweeking to make it right.
As much as I hate this idea here is a 97 exploded for $450

Karl: Hello Klogger
Klogger: Hey, why am I in the Garage, why aremy wheels off?
Karl: Do not worry, here pose for the patented TTB Pictures
Klogger: ahh,what the, really? A plasma cutter? Ouch that burns...
Thanks to Tommy, Mike, and Robbie. Now to install the STB (single traction beam) axle.
not cool karl, you have turned against everything you love. Next your going to be telling us your NOT gay!
What are the 60 plans? linked or radius arms?
Ok, bring the comments on about links, radius arms, 3 links, inverted Ellen Degeneres torsion suspension.
Ultimately this thing is never going to be a super vehicle, so I decided to go the quicker/easier route. Here are the plans with status:
*Ford High Pinion Dana 60 STB Axle
*5.13:1 gears
*Lock Right Locker
*35 spline chromo outers
*1 chromo inner shaft on the long side (it was damaged, so had to get a new one)
*Spicer joints
*Rebuilt kingpins, spindles, etc...
*Wheel flanges (not hubs)
*Mad 4X4 high steer (heims, etc...
*Leaf Sprung - Stock F-350 rear hangers, kustom front, Chevy 52's for springs w/ full length add-a-leaf to control wrap
*SOLID Dif cover
Sounds clean and simple. Screw links on this thing, it is the klogger after all. I have to say though I am a bit surprised that you did away with the TTB before you grenaded it though.
BTW if you go searching for any 52"s and want to make some money I am in need of a set. Let me know what the picknpull wants and i'll pay ya extra to pull them.
Good luck on the build. Keep the pics coming.
I support that plan - good option for the Klogger
I predict with the awesomeness of 42" TSLs, you will need an anti-wrap bar.
