I would use as much of the explorer stuff as I could. Grab the drive shafts too.

im going to be getting a whole explorer so I w ill have all the parts i need.. I might even do a interior swap aswell.. depends on how bored i get lol..

The driveshaft i have now was custom made not sure how it was done but it it adjustable in size ..(I think)
