There's all sorts of ideas in your first post in this thread.... Not super obvious but go fast..... Ha ha

I replaced mine with Motorcraft. If it lasted 15+ years...

Looking good!! Is it time to rename this build thread? Hahaha

Love this thing!!!

I had forgotten about that. Rod's 1st tacos in Baja I believe. That turned into an interesting outting.

HA!

That's one way to word it.... I know what it's like to start a Baja race in Ensenada... Ha ha

I'll look in my bin of bolts and see if I still have them too!!

Ill hit you up on the seats... Sure I can do something with them. What's needed to boot the D50 under it? Do you know? Custom cross member? Just mounts?

I had a 1995 VW Jetta that had rear discs with cable operated parking brake.

I just looked up 1995 Mustang GT on Rockauto and found these as well....

I agree. Drop brackets seem to be a pain to install. Decide what you are really after and go from there. No use installing to remove a couple months later. Most people on here don't like the drop brackets due to the added leverage they apply to the frame and crossmember and many blame them for frame...

What's the reason for using that style 4 link vs the more common one? You and Mike (Smart Alex) both chose that style...

I was told that extended beams don't need clocking no matter the way they were done. At least that's what I think Kiefer told me...

That thing would KILL in Jeepspeed (unless the 3700? class which even allows four link rears).

Looks smoother than any other XJ I've ever seen. It has to be faster/smoother than your old Jeepspeed, huh?

I have bought quite a bit from Sonic... they are a good shop to deal with. I had to exchange the alarm on my bronco when I got it and they helped me troubleshoot it then said "Bring everything but the wiring back, no use playing and trying to find the exact problem, we'll give you all new parts".

Wait for me to get my van out here!!

Thanks!!! and I was about to give up on this thread. D50 conversion is cool. What trans and transfer case would I need with the powerstroke?

Was going to try something similar when I had my bronco... I was going to have decals made though

Both excellent ideas....

The cage really just comes from the safety aspect of having family with me and never knowing what terrain you could end up in. As for 4wd conversion... Depends how much time I spend on a strap before I dump money into that type of thing.

Awning sounds like a must have as does the locker

I'm trying to avoid making it more RV than multipurpose vehicle but thinking.. Cage, roof A.C./heat, bent beams, removable seats for rear that allows variations in seating capacity (using race seats) and fold down bunk beds built in to walls(cage).... Probably add passenger van side doors with Windo...
