Re: 91 Ford Explorer trail/crawler
I'm the one that built it. This was the one we used to prototype the SAS kit on. The Ex that 5bros has now was the 2nd one after this one was finished.
I'd own it again if I had the room. Anthony Terry called me and offered it back to me but I just can't...

I want some 37s or 38s. Will trade mine for yours with or without wheels. The wheels on truck are 17x9 with about 4.5 or 4.75" offset. 6 on 5.5 bolt...
When we split the thinner pieces, we laid it in some 3/8" thick angle iron and put 5 or 6 heavy tacks along the bottom to hold it in place. Using the hand torch on the plasma, we'd bounce around cutting slits about 18" long but not connecting them. We'd leave about 1/4" of material between each...

And what work do you do where you have to split pipe lengthwise? I thought we were the only ones
When doing quotes for jobs, a lot of time I have to go at it blind because it's something we've never done before. All "they" care about is getting a number for the cost of work. I come up with a ridiculous amount and throw it at them to see what sticks. We win some, we lose some and that's ok...
