    Go to the Ford section, throw a rock, it will probably hit a 'Sploder... Maybe even one with disc brakes.

    No camera today.

    I went back top look at that mid-70s truck I mentioned. It has a D-44 front, non flat top knuckles. It has 12-bolt rear, with the axles pulled out a couple inches, and the carrier sitting in the dirt, and a lunchbox locker sitting in the dirt. I don't get that!

    Someone else saw the Old Man Emu springs under a Cherokee. They managed to get one leaf pack off. I expect they'll be back with a sawzall for the other pack.

    In the new sets, I saw a '62, CJ-5. It's almost old as me, but, I think I've aged better.

    I also saw a wrecked Ram 3500 4x4. It had a Cummins badge, but the engine bay was empty. It had the front and rear drive axles, they were huge. I walked away.

    I saw a Ranger with a short bed, same body lines. It had a couple ripples in the sheet metal; it was white. I'll think about it....

    No, first gens (early 90s) have drums out back. Honestly, I don't know when rear disc brakes became standard equipment.

    What really sparks my interest in the 'Sploders, is the leather seats with lumbar support. I think it's the '95 version that I like best. Mmmmmmmm, leather!

    I had to make a JY run today Mike. The arm the pulls the clutch cable on my Zuk, broke this morning. Luckily my JY had what I needed (have to walk into them though and they are the farthest out). Only 10 bucks and I added a new clutch cable i had. thing feels like butter now.

    To the best of my Knowledge Mike, the Discs became standard as the same year of your favorite seats.

    If anyone spots the plastic cover that goes over this shift boot, and you have 10 min to snag it for me, I'll pay you triple what it cost to get it out of the yard and a small storage fee. I am converting my 91 Ranger from having an electronic transfer case, to a manual, and this is one of the only pieces i am missing. It can be found in 89-90 Bronco II, 90-91 Rangers, and 91-94 Exploders. I'll keep up my own search, but if you happen across it please let me know.

    Is it that plastic piece that goes down over the t-case boot, Chris? I'm gonna try to make a Upull run in a couple days, last time I went they had bunches of 'sploders.

    It is the plastic trim piece that goes around the shift boot, however on the vehicles with a 5 spd it goes around both the transmission and the tcase. This is what is makes it harder to find, as so many rigs of this era had automatics, or were equipped with the electric tcase.

    Keeeeeeeeerap, you don't ask for much!!!!!!!!!!

    I wrote down the models and years you listed, and the location at each yard. There were two that were missing the shifter boots. I started thinking, "Damn! Why not an '87 or an '88? Do 'Sploders even have manual transmissions????????????"

    After leaving the Aurora U-Pull, I ran into a place that opened just next door. It is called Cars & Parts, open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The cashier could not tell me the weekend hours, I think he got in trouble for letting me in.

    It did not take long for me to run through the inventory, but, SCORE!!!!! You owe me five bucks.

    There were a few other goodies. I saw an NP 203 under a Ford. I saw a couple full size waggys, one had a D-44 under the rear, the other had a D-44 DS-drop under the front. There were a few other items that will be for sale very soon.

    I had to take a picture of this. I never ran one, but from what I've read, some people have an affinity for them.
