Re: OT Ford Explorer
Guess I will pass on that then !
Thanks for all of your help. I didn't consider a Jeep as I didn't want a D35 rear end or an aluminium D44. Seems a shame, but I guess it will end up by being a Japanese truck.

Re: OT Ford Explorer
You can get a cherokee with an 8 and 1/4" rear or a cast D44. All XJ's after
2000 have the cast 8 and 1/4", and some with the towing package before then have the 8 and 1/4. The D44 was a special order in the XJ. An XJ w/o a D35 CAN be found. I have one.
