Hi Josh, What kind of rub are you getting with that offset? I'm considering -24's because it's the smallest negative offset the wheels I'm eyeing come in. What kind of problems would another half inch of -offset cause? Thanks in advance!

its not terrible. I just need to trim a little bit more plastic and ill be ok.

Well I rebuilt the front end and turned the keys. This photo is them a bit higher than I settled on. The UCA's were resting on the bump stop under weight.



Well I went to buy myself some what I thought were used Toyo MT's @ 315/70R17's, got them home to find out they are actually 35/12.5R17's.

Looks like I'll have more trimming to do.
Two have some camber wear, two are damn level, enough tread to last me till winter, not bad for $200.

Getting them mounted Monday if all goes well.

How I had to leave the poor girl while I was at work, damned no tire shops being open at 3am...



First one mounted. Was getting excited.



Some before shots for comparison.

New guy from Florida. Here is my 99 4x2 hoping to do a sas soon. Just need some one to point me in the right direction and parts list needed. Trying to get a 78 ford f100/bronco solid axle with coil springs.

How'd you chop the back off of it? What was the point? Do you have any pictures facing the tailgate? I'd love to see it!

Chopped it with a sawsall following the window frame. Tailgate is what's left of the hatch, but its coming off when I have time to build a pipe tail gate. I can post a pic if you want to see it. As for why I chopped it...well for the same reason I did this to my perfectly good full bagger goldwing....in other words...why wouldn't you want to chop it?

I was really hoping you made the back like a bronco lol.

Regardless it looks awesome.

I think you just gave me my next project

 

[SnuffThePunkz]

I know there is at least one guy who's done it. It was a green expedition with a leather back cover. Saw his photos all over like 5-10 years ago and he actually lived like 20 min from me. Can't find them for the life of me.

If you find any pics I'd sure like to see them! I actually got this Idea from the from the Ford Himalayan concept. I made mine to be enclosed unlike the concept, and have storage behind the rear seat. I've only got about 4 long days into this project, and still a ways to go to consider it complete. It gives me something to though, and it's a lot of fun in the mountains and mesa.

So I just googled "Green ford expedition truck" and nothing came up in images, but when I put in "Green ford expedition chopped truck" I found an image, then it took me to an old post on this forum, titled 1999 Green Monster.
It looks pretty cool!! It's gotta be the one you were mentioning, but it shows the location as San Francisco, CA.

He could have sold it and it made its way up here/moved up himself, or weirdly enough there could have been two green expys that had the back chopped up like a bronco lol.

Just glad you found it, after like 20 minutes of fruitless googling I was starting to wonder if I was crazy.
