I was just about to post that cody had a tread about taking a trailer to houston lol. So nice of cody to buy you a present haha...

 

8.8 is in the garage, and this big box showed up today

 

Headers?

 

nope. they are hedders

should look like this when put together. 1 7/8 HTC with 3" collector. i was going to snap a pic, but they are in 5 pieces and they bubble wrapped the crap out of them.

 

You going to run a explorer rear?

 

sure am. they are pretty tough from what i hear.

 

Except for the C clips and welding the center up.

The nice thing is that even though the C clip eliminators suck you can buy a weld on end that uses a 9 inch bearing to eliminate the c clip and not have the leaking issue that the aluminum eliminator kits have...

 

welding the center up isnt a big deal, and it has disk brakes so they can keep the axle in place if i break one. as tough as i've seen these 8.6 rears hold up, i cant see myself breaking the 31 spline.

 

It's usually not the spline but the actual clip that fails or the nub of the axle that retains the clip... There definitely a tough SOB for sure.... I would run one in an S10 over the factory rear end any day.

 

So what do you have to do to run it in an S10??? Put new spring perches on it???
