So on 12-14-13, Randall brought the truck up to Bandit Customs for some minor work. Yesterday, spent the day powerwashing all the mud off and really getting a good look at all the repairs that will be needed. Original plan was to weld on a 95-01 explorer front end, but after further investigating, it looks like the body was tweaked as well (see pics below). Sunroof will not sit flush, the front of the body has actually moved down and crushed into the frame, and the doors are now misaligned. once we get the front clip off, we will know more, but at this time, it appears possible reconstructive surgery will be needed. updates will follow as we assess all the damaged points

Part of the reason the body collapsed to the frame is that when sas2 happened on the truck tag removed the front most body mount. So the body got pushed down to the frame

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Well the difference between us and others is we are working on his truck already I have no doubt we could have Randall's truck done with in two months pending the different options we have set for him.

[nice59fordf100]

Agreed, i see no reason why we cant have it up and running, perfect paint and body, new interior, and all the stuff Randall wants added in, taking longer than 90 days

So maybe there is hope for that thing.

I wonder if I can get ahold of some SEATS

[nice59fordf100]

Yea, we need to know what you wanna do with the seat issue so we can get this resolved and installed with the custom embrodiery

[KF5ZXT]

Well, I'm planning on putting Mastercraft Rubicon seats in there at some point (where I'm getting them from is still up in the air), so you might hold off on that part of things.

Will it have seatbelts for the backseats?

It always has had seatbelts when there have been back seats in there.

Who?

Feel free to schedule some work weekends as well. I wouldn't mind helping out on my own vehicle. Plus, it's an excuse for a 'tech meeting.'

[TxPlates]

I could probably make a weekend and hand some beers to people.

[TexasArmadillo]

I wouldn't mind catching up with y'all.

[TxPlates]

Looking like they don't want us there... Lol

[nice59fordf100]

It's not that we dont want yall here, just have to schedule it to where kris and i are both off on the same weekend

[TxPlates]

Well?

[KF5ZXT]

Something else weird that I always wanted to do: have a pig tail harness accessible through the fender well or front bumper area, wherever, that I could attach a harness from either a trailer or tow vehicle, to operate the brake lights/turn signals on the explorer while it is on the trailer, input coming from tow vehicle through the trailer wiring harness... crazy, right?

[nice59fordf100]

I can do that

[TxPlates]

Does this mean his truck is going to be a rolling fire hazard (not to say it wasn't before...)?

[nice59fordf100]

I saw a fire extinguisher in there, Randall are you wanting more of them installed?

[TxPlates]

He probably needs 12 of them.
