Crashed DD- looking for what to do with it
Here's the deal- I was daily driving a 95 explorer, live in a semi rural area on a dirt road, hot a pothole that thre the car sideways, steering was too slow (or the direction changes too fast) for ne to straighten it it, bottom line is the the last 6" of the car hit a tree, blowing out the side and rear glass, shifting the rear of the boy maybe an inch or so. Pulled it behind the barn and left if for dead. Have a different daily now.
So I'm having trouble mowing around it (during the summer, not now), and I got to thin king, when my wife moves out here, she's going to want to see that thing being something or gone. So is there something I can do with it?? Thought about swapping a ranger cab on, or cutting the back 4 foot off of the bosy and past a ranger cab rearon, or an explorewr gate, or? Or a mid-fiftys P/U body?
Anyone have any ideas of how I could make thiis something fun to drive?Greg Fast

Shorten the Explorer passenger side housing to fit a driver side axle, then swap the entire powertrain over to a Miata.

Take it to the silverlake sand dunes and run the snot out of it until it falls apart.
Then scrap it.

If its a 95, then it doesn't have a 5.0, making it pretty much worthless. It is a body-on-frame, so if the frame is still good,
you can just tear off the body and scrap that part, and then you have a jeep-ish kind of thing. If it is 4wd, maybe a rock crawler-ish thing,
the chassis is too heavy to make it a roadracer kind of thing.
