Hey Bob, you looking to do this?
I don't remember the year but I will do some digging. You start with this.
And end up with this.

The first gen of the IRS expos will work. Those start in 2002, but I'm not sure what the other end of the range is.

Brent agree 100%, but Explorers without modifying are butt ugly and B&M and others are way out of my price range. Besides I only put on less than 5000 miles a year.I have put on 11,000 miles in 3 years I've owned it.
Hope you agree.

Yeah, I wish I would have found that when I did my disc brakes.

Re: What Year Explorer 8.8 Rear End Covers Fits 2004
I agree with Brent. If I hadn't done mine I would get that one. Thanks for the kudos. I like showing it off any chance I get.

Re: What Year Explorer 8.8 Rear End Covers Fits 2004
The rear end cover, Brent recommended and 3 qts Motorcraft lube and L/S additive arrived today. So what size, kind of bolts should I order to make it really look sweet?

Re: What Year Explorer 8.8 Rear End Covers Fits 2004
Let me know if that diff cover fits. I had been eyeing it awhile back when I did my rearend swap, but noticed a few places say it wouldn't fit, so I just went with the stock cover.
From http://www.cjponyparts.com/ford-raci...8-8/p/M4033KA/
"- Will NOT Fit IRS Differentials or with Differential Mounted Anti-Lock Brake Exciter Ring"
The ranger does use a diff mounted anti lock ring.
